...Es kommt zu Hause,
Es kommt.
Fußball kommt zu Hause


Wow! What a start! The usual surreal opening ceremony, with - of course - men dancing in lederhosen! A superb opening game, with six goals and a bit of unpredictability before Germany eventually beat Costa Rica 4-2. A first goal from Germany's Philip Lahm that will be in contention for goal of the tournament. Eight goals in the first two matches. A shock result in the second game, as Ecuador beat Poland 2-0, giving Ecuador their biggest ever World Cup win. My sweepstake money on Poland already going down the drain.

Deutschland, es ist gut!

The real World Cup fun starts tomorrow... and we can't go to the Fan Park to watch the giant screen, because it's sold out! Damn. It's the pub then...
