uruloki’s lair

While I’m off working on the weeknds, all kinds of cool stuff happens.

First, AFN got the rights to broadcast the remaining World Cup games. That meant I got to watch last night’s 1-1 draw with Italy live. Awesome! I got to chat with lilbro (Bolivia) from Iraq while watching a game in Germany. Small world or what?

Anways, the game itself. Overall, much better from a technical point of view for the US team. We had some brilliant ball movement, and maintained control of things even after our second(!!!) red card. The ref needs to be taken out behind a woodshed and beaten. In the words of a paid writer, he “began pulling out his red card like he was a six-year-old showing his favorite Christmas gift.” Both of our red cards were on late tackles which still managed to get a piece of the ball and the cards absolute BS. The goal in the 26th minute by the Azzuri was a huge knife to the back, and all I could think was “oh no, not again.” Our guys came back strong, and I have no doubt that even with just one red card on us we would have won the game. Kasey Keller was unbeliveable in the goal. And, as icing on the cake, Ghana beat the Czech’s 2-0. This puts us in a decent spot for moving on in that we know Ghana is dangerous, so no surprises there. The big question is whether or not Italy can muster enough to actually win the game against the Czechs as they are through to the second round with a win or a tie. We need a win against Ghana and a win by Italy over Czech Repulic to squeek through again with 4 points (It would be Italy (7 pts), US (4 pts), Czechs (3 pts), Ghana (3 pts) as final standings.)

Meanwhile, people are saying “As soon as Uruloki leaves…” At least, that’s how I feel sometimes. The guys back home in WoW had their first kill of Razorgore last night. Since I wasn’t there, he chose to drop clothie gear:

Congratulations to everyone that was there and saw him go down!
