World Cup 2010 Day 13

Let’s see what has been happening around the world before we talk footie, shall we. Australia now has a new PM and its first woman at that. An earthquake struck Ottawa. And the usual news of flood (killing dozens in Brazil and China), politics (Zimbabwe PM sacked four of his Ministers) and all that.

On the Arsenal front, Rambo is recovering nicely. Matt Slater talks about the Fàbregas saga here and reckons Cesc will stay a Gunner and not a goner.

OK, let’s now talk about the World Crap, I mean, World Cup.

I watched the Slovenia-England match and was disappointed that the Slovenes didn’t play as well as they did against the US. They could have advanced but for a late, late goal from Landycakes. England is second in the table and will meet the winner of Group D.

Woke up to watch the second half of the Ghana-Germany match and was relieved to see Germany win. Ghana still progress though despite the loss. Socceroos won and though they were already almost out, I’m still glad they beat Serbia.

As the Germans won the group, it will be a salivating Germany-England clash (and check out the new English WAGs!). Ghana will meet the US.

I can’t wait for the weekend already! I also can’t wait for the next fashion statement from the German coach, Joachim Löw/Loew.The Germans sure have stylish swagger and the coach himself can consider modelling part-time for Hugo Boss after the World Cup.
