Wow! Every World Cup delivers shocks and unexpected displays, but this World Cup is like no other. Who could have expected these results? There have been so many surprises! Although having said that, some things never change.
What? The games? No! I`m talking about the hair!
These are my choices for the worst haircuts of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
By the way, I know some girls like ponytails. Actually, me too - but not on guys!
Who do you think has the worst/strangest haircut at the World Cup?

I love football (soccer) so of course I`ve been watching a lot of the World Cup games. I realise some strange/American/dead people are not interested in the FIFA world cup, but for the rest of you, here is the first installment of my...

- I was just getting used to white boots; now they are all the colors of a radioactive rainbow; orange, yellow, violet... One guy had fancy orange ones that look just like the shoes that some little Japanese boys wear.
- Germany is very strong, and deserved their 4-0 win over Australia, but they got TWO yellow cards in one game for DIVING... I don`t like teams that cheat & try to trick the referee
- a few of the `big` teams have drawn their first games against `weaker` opponents: Italy, France, England, Portugal. Brazil only beat North Korea by 1 goal. Interesting.
- Congratulations Japan! (though I thought Cameroon played quite poorly). One more win and you`re into the next round!
- Congratulations New Zealand! 1-1 against Slovakia.

DON`T FORGET:

This Saturday, Ichinomiya teachers, staff & students will be watching the Japan v Holland game at a bar called Sports Casters, near Ichinomiya Station, from 7.30pm (kick-off is 8.30). 800 yen. Come on! Let`s cheer Holland... I mean JAPAN! It will be a lot of fun. You can get lots of practice saying "Where was our defence?!?" in English.
