USA Baby!!! ;P (Sorry, just had to get that out of my system.)

I was shocked by Spain's loss as well though I only heard about it after the fact as the early matches start at 4 am here. Unlike you, I'm not dedicated enough to get up quite that early. Germany did look wonderful against Australia and South Africa did well in the opener (though not against Uruguay).

Go Celtics!!!

I loved the NY Post headline 'USA wins 1-1'. So obviously tongue-in-cheek and deliciously witty and yet I heard so many people moaning, thinking it was serious. Slovenia shouldn't cause you too much bother tomorrow.

I often wake during the night anyway (and I tend to go right back to sleep) so I'll just see what happens. If I don't wake up then I'll just look up the result in the morning.

OK so something weird is going on with LJ - if my posts are showing up double, I apologize.

(Your formatting, on the other hand, looks good!)

Weirdest moment of the World Cup (and maybe my life): realising that I'm actually cheering the North Koreans defensive strategy...

I tweet! Been on it for a few months, already on over 2k tweets... It's addictive ok? You'll find a fair few Sports personalities to follow though, it can be very good. I warn you though it does take some getting used to and understanding.

Although I just hate their regime, I agree with you, it was odd and I couldn't help but root for them. They were such underdogs. And if not for the spark of Maicon's goal, they might well have kept it even closer.

I think I'll sign up, I love the interactivity of it with the World Cup and most definitely for sport. So many people leave BBC Sport their opinion by Twitter.
