It is a little confusing to me that no one else around here seems to be at all interested in the NBA Finals. Instead, there is something called the World Cup going on and that apparently has captured everyones' attention. Even though Malaysia does not have a team in the World Cup (they did win the gold medal in soccer in the South East Asian games last year), this place seems to be mad about football.
The US plays their first game against England tonight (at 2:30 AM KL time- I doubt if I will stay up). There is a lot of talk by the English in the local paper about wanting to get revenge for the time that USA beat them in the 1950s World Cup. You might think that they would be more ticked off by what happened in 1776.
Good luck USA!!!
Posted the Next Day- USA 1 England 1
Maybe a tie is like kissing your sister, but when somone offers you a gift it is rude not to take it.
Slightly Culturally Insenitive Remark of the Day- If the English goalie had grown up playing real football then he would know how to catch a ball and his team would have won.
