    Ghana just scored their second. It looked sharp. I’m hoping the US can win later just to bring things right down to the wire, it’s always more fun that way.

    World Cup 06

    948 days ago

    So chatter chatter balk balk, I’m sure we’ll all be hearing enough about the world cup in the coming weeks. Not that I won’t listen to every bit of it that I can.

    But I’m already a little worried that all this soccer might just be too much. I just scheduled the (fake) tivo we’ve got to record 3 games a day thursday-tuesday (It can only search a week in advance). Thursday they’re rerunning the US’ three games in the knockout round last cup, and friday this years’ games begin. I don’t know if the poor machine down there will be able to handle all this, although I deleted everything else off it (take that, american idol) and I’m hoping it works.

    Televised soccer game: 2 hours. Times 64 (48 in the group stage and 16 thereafter) = 120 hours, which I’m pretty sure won’t fit. So that means that I’ll have to burn my way through about 20 of the first round games before we hit the second, which just sounds intimidating.

    With all the hype that all 64 games will be on tv, I have a hard time conceiving of not watching them all. Nobody recommends binge drinking, but hopefully I’ll avoid that morosely giddy feeling that the world cup wasn’t all it should have been because I had to slam it down my throat so hard. And lets just hope that maybe american tv will wise up to this soccer thing and put on more then the odd game per weekend for me.
