France was good a few years ago, I don't know how they are now. I really wish I could be home watching the games, but I'm a cubicle dweller.

Brazil is ALWAYS good. I remember watching Brazil defeat Italy in 1994 in a shootout where Roberto Baggio sent his shot right over the goal, and Brazil scored the final goal for the win.

I also hope Sweden and Australia do well. I was bothered that Sweden tied, and I was very happy that the Aussies defeated Japan. This World Cup will have a good finish.

Yep, I have adopted the Aussies as my team. I think they will advance to the knockout round.

France still have good players, but a lot of them are old and that may well hinder the abilities of Thierry Henry, and he’s not exactly reliable in the big games. We shall see.

Oh, and GOAL to Togo!

I HATE penalty kicks. After two overtimes the goalies should be taken out of the game (i.e., not allowed to use their hands.)

I was on Colorado Blvd during the match - The Toes Bowl was full that day.
