The World Cup has been going full-tilt for 11 days, and we're enjoying every moment we catch. It's funny, tho, how we decide which team to cheer for. We cheer for Poland, 'cause we've got friends in Poland, then we cheer for Ecuador, 'cause we've got friends in Ecuador, then we cheer for Mexico, then for Costa Rica, then for Ghana ... it can get a little confusing who to cheer for. But we really have to take a step back and make the decision about where our loyalties (at least in Fußball) lie, and have come to the decision ...GERMANY IS GOING ALL THE WAY!!!!
There. I've said it. Are there any other folks from the farm willing to put their adopted national pride on the line?
The national fever has caught us up at last, and we're proud to be flying the black, red and gold. Yes, we also pull for the red, white, and blue ('cause we have friends in France and the Netherlands as well) but as they say in Germany "es ist egal" (it's all equal). I used to like watching the soccer matches in the states (when they were on) but it's just different here.
