World Cup and patience

Dare I say it? That chick is hot....

VBM has an avatar! Well, this is the third time she has been in a "Hottest (x)". The other two were Bleacher reports, also as a fan.

But she was team captain of Maryland's Women Soccer when they got their only ACC Championship, and only #1 NCAA seed, and was #6 in NCAA D1 (over 300 colleges in women's soccer) assists that year. The one I like best was she was ACC Scholar-Athlete of the Year.

She's getting married to the dude in the picture (Maryland soccer captain for the men) August 29 this year in Chicago, so we will likely have a week off from processing.

Perfect. I played for Loyola NCAA Division I soccer team and I live in Chicago. So, I will await my invite to the wedding.

I play D league co-ed indoor soccer so I can't wait for my invitation as well. If I need street cred my wife played all 4 years at Bethel and was All American honorable mention for one of those years.

Sounds like a script for a new Wedding Crashers.

Was very pleased with the USA across the board, after the first 10 awful minutes. Howard outstanding. Still believe Zusi is our most creative player. Happy Omar played well in the biggest game of his, or almost any of these players', lives. Still hoping for Michael Bradley to regain his form.

Here that girl is again on a different website (a UK website The Mirror), different shot, second picture in. Yes, above Mike Tyson and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Yes, she really is my daughter (on your left):

And she flew back at midnight Monday to meet with the president of Aldi USA at 7AM Tuesday at one of her stores: she is a District Manager for Aldi.

Still have Germany over Holland in the final.

Also, check out the comments from the London Mirror blog - its all celebrities. And yes, you will see my daughter again!

(Tom Hanks, John Daly, Wayne Rooney (saying now he is a USA fan). The list goes on and on. But you have to do something - you have to click. Geez, life is tough.

Proud papa alert!

I'd say this article from the NYT echoes perfectly what I have been saying to my com-padres throughout this World Cup regarding Brazil, who I normally enjoy immensely, but who have actually almost spoiled the best World Cup with their thugishness and the home-cooking that seems designed in as it has happened from Croatia on:

It has been a great World Cup and the boys in blazers on World Cup Tonight have been a delight.

So it comes down to Germany (my pick) vs. Argentina (Dusi's pick), for all the marbles. Well, some of the marbles.

I WANT 100% OF THE MARBLES!
