Such is the horror of America, that instead of the semi-finals of the world's most popular sporting event, golf is being shown on TV. GOLF, which must be the world's most sedate and sleep-inducing game, fit for only paunchy investment bankers and overdressed society wives. I've resigned myself to the Spanish channel for the Alemania v. Italiana game, supplemented with the live updates from BBC News. The over-excited commentator babbles onward at top-speed, with an occaisional "YES! YES! YES!" for good effect, but everything else is a complete mystery. I do regret not taking Spanish in high school like the other 90% of students in high school.
Oh, but wait, I took German, and if not for that, I may not have gone to Germany, and I would not be supporting Germany right now. No regrets, then.
[That Italian totally just leapfrogged onto the German's back!]
Of the 4 countries left in the World Cup, I've been to 3 of them (France is the exception), but my great love will always be with Germany. This is a very difficult game for me to watch. I can't bear it if they were to lose! If they leave the World Cup, I do not know if I can go on. Oh god. I need a beer. Or something. This is nervewracking.
[Does anyone else see the Budweiser ad at the side of the stadium? 百威， it says, "Budweiser" in Chinese! Terribly random and strange, not only because I had no idea that Budweiser broke into the Chinese market, but this is Germany!]
p.s. Miroslav Klose is cute :>

Yes, I can't believe Budweiser was the official beer of the World Cup. It was an insult and a travesty!
