I was pissed on Niko López, he's so selfish. Anyway, congrats France!

Hahahah, awesome. It would have been embarrassing if he'd missed though.

Quintero, what a player. Would be a good replacement for Thiago but Porto bought it this week.

Can't wait till next years tournament in New Zealand. I hope Spain are in the group D so they can play here in Dunedin. Some of you live in Barcelona and see Barca players live. I am not rich and it would a dream to meet a Future Barca player for real such as Adama Traora.

Trophy in Dunedin NZ on Wednesday. . . the day I leave town early to help run a school sports tournament. I'm not sure I want to do a 6 hour round trip drive to get a photo with the trophy in another town on Friday. . . . Bother!!!

The draw is on now.

I wonder if Sepp Blatter has seen a Maori Culture dance before.

5 of the 7 host cities are in the north Island.
6 of 8 round of 16 games, 3 of the 4 quarterfinals, a semi-final and the final are all in the North Island.
I knew that the south island was going to only get scraps.
Then the draw happened and the tournament is now surprisingly very evenly spread in geographic terms of access to tournament quality where ever you live in New Zealand.
Our poor weather won't influence the group of death. We have the world's first permanent roof stadium that grows real grass. We nickname our stadium 'the glasshouse'.
