Walking On The Moon

Germany has been a soccer superpower just like Brazil and Argentina. I have been taking Germany seriously. This morning Germany made England look like it were North Korea.

France, Italy, England: three former soccer heavyweight countries are by the wayside now.

You got to watch Ozil. That dude can give one killer pass and tilt the game. Ask England.

Argentina had a field day today against Mexico. I was hoping for a 3-0 victory, but that was not to be.

I went ahead and bought myself a soccer ball afterwards, and went to a park nearby. I was able to touch the ball 38 times before it hit the ground. I guess I am in decent soccer shape.

Brazil's defense is like a castle, Argentina's like a whip.

When Messi dribbles it is like the entire field is mud. The ball is stuck until he commands it to move. And he likes to give short, quick commands.

Now Argentina meets Germany next. I am just a little nervous. I want Argentina to win, but I know the German team is in decent shape. I think it will be a close call, but Argentina will prevail. It will squeak by to meet Portugal in the semi-finals.

The scenario I am seeing is one where my two favorite teams - Brazil and Argentina - meet in the finals. It will be hard to pick the one to root for, but Diego might win me over. I might end up rooting for Argentina.

But I do want to have to make that call.

Brazil And Argentina: My Choices And Those Of My Favorite Actor

I just found out Amitabh is also rooting for Brazil and Argentina. Those have been my two choices as well. I got the shirts for both.

I also just now discovered his Twitter account. I have known a while he is an avid blogger. I am too. I find out he is avid on Twitter. He has sent out 20 reply tweets just this past hour. Yes, it's him. And looks like we both watched the Denmark-Cameroon game.

Social media is an amazing thing.

We share the same birthdays. His is his. Mine is his too, it is not my real birth date, but it is my official birth date.

I also had his hairstyle, but that was before my hair went bad on me. My current hairstyle is more along the lines of what he dons in Sarkar (second video below). Looks like he also gives up at times.
