No World Cup last night. Still feel sleep deprived despite a solid eight + hours sleep.

But as there was no football, I did something I've never done before - I joined an online gaming clan/team.

Specifically, I joined the Trackmania Nations }GORE{ team. I'm not usually one for joining online teams - I generally prefer not to be seen as just one ( Read more... )

Well Portugal gave it all they had, and France won with a dubious penalty. Where have I heard that before?

France to win the final. Germany to win the playoff.

I recently discovered this gem on ESPN. The Japanese rock at game shows.

Well those Italian trickesters have done it again. Last minute wins are becoming a habit. Not that they didn't deserve it this time, though Germany weren't exactly undeserving ( Read more... )

Gearing up for Germany v Italy at 5:00 tomorrow morning. It's probably the best time for the match to be on, allowing for a solid block of sleep, plus the faint posiibility of being late for work for a good reason ( Read more... )

I had an extremely nice, uninterrupted sleep last night thank you. Just the ticket.

There was, of course, no World Cup action last night. Not that anyone in Australia would have noticed anyway. All people were talking about today was the now infamous Big Brother incident that saw two housemates removed on Saturday night ( Read more... )

Well England bow out in a penalty shootout. Imagine the odds. That also ends my chances of winning the work sweep. But on the plus side, a work colleague of mine who drew both Argentina and Brazil in the sweep and was smugly predicting winning the entire sweep pool (dished out between first and second) now gets nothing. Bwahahaha ( Read more... )

I tried. I really did. But I just couldn't stay awake for the whole of the match between Italy and Ukraine. I'm really starting to hate Italy ( Read more... )

No football last night. More sleep for me. Yay.

More football tonight. No sleep for me. Yay.

No matches last night. So I slept right through from 11 til 6:45. But I was still mega tired this morning. Perhaps more so than when I was watching matches during the night. Thinking about it, I usually wake up that way anyway, regardless of night sporting events ( Read more... )
