world cup 2006 redux

this is what they're playing for. pretty, isn't it?

world cup 2006

holy crap. i think usa drew the toughest group. england's got it rough, too. if scolari and portugal take them in the quarters again...there'll be hell to pay. the british ambassador to germany asked england fans to "embrace germany" [article]. yeah, right. and to think there's still six months to go before the action starts.



the new ball adidas made for the games, which has gotten glowing reviews from players. better response, truer flight...you'd think after playing a game for a century or so that the ball would be pretty much fixed, but apparently not.



the arena aufschalke in gelsenkirchen. that's a retractable pitch. cool, eh?

imagine...

at what age do you tell a highway it was adopted?
