Willkommen!!

Welcome one and all to the greatest sporting event in the entire world!!! 32 Teams, 30 Days, 12 Stadiums, 1 trophy! Of course, I am speaking of the World Cup, which officially kicked off this morning in Munich, Germany with the host nation taking on Costa Rica. In what turned out to be an awesome inaugural game, German clutched victory from Costa Rica with a final score of 4-2. A few minutes later, the second match of the day got under way in Gelsenkirchen, Germany between Poland and Ecuador. This one, not as score packed as the first game, but still exciting, saw Ecuador upset Poland with a score of 2-0. The Latin American countries made a strong showing today, and tomorrow Paraguay and Argentina make their debuts. Also, England takes the field with good ol' #7 David Beckham at the helm. Stay tuned for daily world cup updates. So, as of today Group A looks like this:

1. Germany (3pts.)
2. Ecuador (3pts.)
3. Costa Rica (0pts.)
4. Poland (0pts.)

Tomorrow: England vs. Paraguay, Trinidad and Tobago vs. Sweden, and the Côte d'Ivoire (or Ivory Coast to you and me!) vs. Argentina
