Dang! Saudi Arabia just put one in! At half time, it was Tunisia 1, Saudi Arabia 0, and more importantly it was Tunisia's first World Cup goal since their 3-0 victory over Mexico in Argentina 1978, which made them the first African team ever to win a World Cup game. So go them. If I knew how to say "Go Team!" in Arabic, I would. Especially now that it's tied and the U.S. commentators are still a bunch of dickheads, as always. As much as I enjoy disagreeing with them, they're also frequently annoying enough to make me switch to Univision.

In other news, German police have already started arresting Polish soccer hooligans, and I just saw a report that said two rival groups of Polish Hooligans arranged a practice fight before today's match against Germany, which I'll be missing because of work. I have yet to call in late to work on account of the World Cup, but I've been plenty late a few times already. Today I might've been on time except for that last goal, dangit. I should probably just tell work to not expect me in before 11 any time next week.

Ok, really going now.

Really.

I'm sure that our decorating our house and wearing crazy orange clothes helped the Dutch soccer team to their 1-0 victory over Serbia-Montenegro today (the decorations actually first went up for last week's Holland-Mexico friendly match, but it's always good to get ready for the World Cup). But maybe getting up at 6 AM PST to watch the game was the key obsessive fan contribution (yes, I am looking forward to sleeping on the train ride home). In any case, we've had a lovely weekend in Seattle; it's been great seeing lots of friends and watching lots of soccer and GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!

Update: Maybe this link works now?
