I could kind of tell early on in the game that Spain was going to advance to the World Cup finals, and triumph over the Germans today. Germany looked like they were holding back quite a bit, letting Spain take ball possession for the majority of the game. It was only after Puyol’s insane-of-a-header goal that sparked the Germans to put in the effort.
Like always, I was impressed with Spain’s playing, they are definitely the most entertaining team to watch. Their connection with one another is quite extraordinary, knowing where to go for passes from each other, and how to set up a play. I really hope they take it all the way this year to become the 2010 World Cup Champions.
I am hoping that Spain takes 1st, Netherlands 2nd, Germany 3rd, and Uruguay 4th.
As a side note, I just found out about Paul the Octopus yesterday. Apparently he’s this “psychic” octopus that predicts the winner of an upcoming match. I watched some videos on him, and it’s said that he’s quite accurate, and he even predicted Spain’s victory over Germany just the day before. Seems pretty outrageous, you can try Youtubing “Psychic octopus” to find out more or to watch the process.
Anyways, I am full on cheering for Spain now. Viva España!

I just installed Office 2010 on Windows Vista (didn’t spend a penny on it, cause I got a free upgrade since I bought Microsoft Office 2007 on March 2010). Beautiful and blazing fast! Don’t think I’ve ever been this excited for a word processor. Look at all that Aero up top, lack of overly-glossy buttons, and the Mac-looking status bar at the bottom. If you do a lot of office work and don’t have at least Office 07 (and you aren’t a Mac), try this. It’s free to use until October 2010 when the beta ends and the real suite is released.
So I am going to catch up my OSA lesson - Letter Writing by using my new word processor, Microsoft Word 2010.
