Demi-final!

For all of you who may not be up-t0-the-minute on World Cup news, here's a flash- France just took down Brazil 1-0. It was an INCREDIBLE game- I didn't know if les bleus could pull it off, but they did. Now we're in the demi-finals, or semi-finals, against Portugal on Wednesday. The other demi is Italy/Germany. This could get crazy, people. Already everyone is driving around Lyon honking horns and waving huge French flags out their car windows. I love seeing all this enthousiasm for soccer, as opposed to football or basketball or the like, which I sorta think are, well, poopy. Soccer is harder- I mean, have you SEEN how big the field is? And you just keep running and running and running. I will, however, admit that some of these players could go for a style makeover, especially Mr. Ronaldhino-I've-just-misspelled-your name but that does NOT make it ok to have permed-style long hair in a ponytail AND wear a headband. Actually, neither of those is ok, and together it's just worse. Going back to the poopy nature of other sports, there's a player on the Brazilian team whose name is, seriously, Kaka. Those jokes did not get old. Because Kaka? Will never be not funny.
