World Cup Update #5

Jul

I had intended to support Holland in the final, but after about 10 minutes of watching, I decided to support Spain instead. I don`t mind cheering on the `underdog` (= the team everybody expects to lose) but I don`t like dirty tactics & bad sportsmanship, and Holland played one of the dirtiest games of football I`ve seen in a while. They received so many yellow cards I lost count, & although they only received 1 red card, it should have been 2 or 3. Look at that tackle in the picture - can you believe he only got a yellow for that!?
I`m glad Spain won. Congratulations!
By the way, did you notice that the Japanese referee from the Holland v Brazil game was the `4th official` (the guy who holds up the Lost Time sign) for the final? I guess this was a kind of reward for his good performance, which I mentioned on this blog.

Hello Yumi! I remember talking to you at the salsa party, and I remember you told me you`ll go to Australia soon. Will you go to the Rock Night party at Gifu Teragoya this Saturday? If so, we can chat again. 

Hmmm... I don`t know Nepean. Sounds like a small town...
