Captain's Log:
USA needs to win the next two games, thanks to their dismal performance in the first game. They really need to pull together and win, or else they will be headed home early.
For those readers who do not know how the world cup is structured, let me briefly explain. There are 32 teams that qualify for the world cup, and there are 8 groups into which the teams are placed. 4 teams to each group. Each team plays the other three teams in its group once. Each win earns the team 3 points, and a tie earns the team 1 point. After the initial three games, the top two point leaders in each group advance to the next stage--16 teams. From then on it is single elimination.
I only got one of my three guesses right today, and one draw. Not the best. I cannot believe that Japan lost this morning to Australia. That was an amazing comeback in the last eight minutes.
In other news, the second movie in the Chronicles of Narnia has been pushed back to summer 2008. Also, pixar's new movie was announced, and it is called Ratatouille. Looks good. Toy Story 3 is set to come out in 2008.
That is about all for tonight.
Record for WC - 7-2-2
Later,
Lorimer
