I really want to see US-Germany in Recife, that should be fun no matter what.

Hold on to your wallet.

First thing after landing in Brazil is always storing the wallet somewhere safe and leaving house only with 50 reais and a cc.

I don't think that's what Oswaldo meant. Hell if you think the crime is that bad bring more than $20 or you risk pissing the robber off at the risk of your life.

Actually, I did mean that, but you raise an even better point, since Brazil has now become the world's most expensive country (with the worst cost-benefit, to boot). It's a wonder why we ever bother leaving the house.

Oswaldo - maybe you should publish "A Native's Guide to Not Getting Rolled".

In all this excitement of considering which wines I am going to open for group stage games in June, I seem to have forgotten about the level of game officiating in the 2010 edition. Brace yourselves.

For those coming down, this biodynamic calendar has a nifty Tropical Zodiac function for use in the southern hemisphere: http://www.astrologie-info.com/mocal.cgi

Kind of shameful, wasn't it.

That felt rather ...er... scripted, didn't it? And who put the weights in the keeper's shoes?

 

[Oswaldo Costa]

I did.

maybe they were holding a re-election party convention at the stadium?
Which re-election, you may ask.
Yes, I may answer.

 

[Oswaldo Costa]

Opening cerimonies 100% organized by FIFA. Other than the boos directed at the reelectee, oui the people had nothing to do with it.

Poor Croatia. First they have to deal with Lannisters taking over at King's Landing and now this.

Uruguayan Tannat of course, with a bitter finish.
