Angela Merkel Will Now Outlaw Picnic Blankets

Um, yeah. Germany? Just being the favorite doesn't mean they give you extra goals or anything... Perhaps all the attention has gone to their heads a bit. It appears that their back 4 really are like the Berlin Wall... in that it can be humiliated and dismantled into tiny bits and sold for $10 a pop at The Gap. Croatia played inspired soccer yesterday (now with 50% less cheating!) And now Germany will need to win or force a draw with Austria without Schweinsteiger to ensure second round status. I am sure that Flippy Flyer and his 50 chips on Germany are none too pleased today.

As for Brokeback Alex, there are no words. Having the Polish side snatch tie from the jaws of victory with a 92nd minute foul in the penalty box is quite a sucker punch to take...

But on the happy side, it is steady as she goes for Ukari Figgs. A orange win today would put her in great position.
