Socceroos all the way?!?!

Some of you have taken me to task about neglecting the Australia Japan, great come from behind victory for the team from down under!!

Apologies to the mates...you are right. Even though I said that I was going to devote myself entirely to WORLD CUP SOCCER this month -- it seems that life and correcting papers, malfunctioning printers, the insanity of trying to do home improvements while finishing my book does overtake me at time and cause me to miss games. Like yesterday as I sat in my office in front of the FIFA live match cast and "watched" the Brazil game.

So for some reason I didn't see the Aussies trounce Japan! Nor the Croats play their hearts out against the Brazilians. Sporadic will describe my world cup coverage

By the way I have a Brazilian joke for those of you who may have missed this one.

W. is sitting in his office and Karl Rove comes in and announces, "I have some bad news. Four Brazilian troops were killed in Iraq today."

Bush exclaims "That's terrible!" puts his head down on the desk and begins sobbing his heart out. Rove stands stoically in front of him, until POTUS raises his tear streaked face and asks, "Karl, how many in a brazilian?"
