4 years ago, the guy second from left told me "one day your friend's yet-to-be-born child will squash you like a bug - and we will be the ones to help her do it!" Granted, he seemed to be the kind of guy who always spoke cryptically and I had been drinking at the time, but it still seemed strange. Well now it all makes sense. The Poolmaster keeps up his strong tradition of not winning his own pools. Congrats to Quarterpoint and Benito who survive and advance.
All credit to Ghana - they played a tight controlling game in the first half, and the U.S. could only counter in the second by bringing on our secret weapon Austrian-Jewish-Brazilian-American named Benny. When the announcers get excited that Benny is on the field... look out. However, Ghana already had their own secret German surprise: Kevin-Prince Boateng, who scored their first goal. It looks as if Ghana used the old Khrushchev line that he said to Kennedy "our german rocket scientists are better than your german rocket scientists."*
Look! Mick Jagger was able to make it to the game! (And so did some old guy with a scarf)
Tomorrow shapes up nicely with the historically unfair round of 16 pairing of Germany and England. Also Mexico must try to contend with Argentina. Dr. Norway, Sneakey Peakey, Lisa, and the Nard Dog are on the clock.
* that quote is completely untrue. i think i either made it up or stole it from some bad action movie. my team lost, cut me some slack!
