Oh, I'm not supporting my country
Nor do I want to vote for the one most likely to win.
It's just that I'm still deciding which team I feel I root for the most.
It will probably be some African one, maybe Ghana or Ivory Coast.

You are in a spot. Ask Ravenne to let you vote for both your countries. Or toss a coin. Or better do not vote, because, as I explained above, this takes away chances from the votee.
The best thing, and people do it, is to bet against your team. So that if it looses at least you gain money, in this case satisfaction.
And yet, the right answer is "none of the above". The true winner is the commerce...

You're probably right.


And, ladies and gentlemen, goal for Switzerland! Who would have thought!! Congrats to all Swiss fans. I'm curious to see what Brazil is going to do about it.

Edit: Good morning, ravenne. Switzerland is playing against Spain, not Brazil! Oh my. So I'm curious what Spain is going to do about it.

Um, errr, oh.... I'm really bad geography (to be honest, my friends frequently call me the 'geocatastrophe', I'm lost without navigation device). You're right Italy isn't our neighbor, but, for me, it feels as if they are. I need a flight or a long train ride to get to France, but only a quite short (in comparison) car ride thru Austria to spend a weekend in Venice. BTW, Munich is often called the 'most northern city of Italy'.

Have mercy, Sweetpea! I was watching the game with two ladies from Brazil and they were supporting Spain, so I mixed it all up. Of course I know, that Brazil is right next to um, err, gotta go make dinner....

Just let me say my betise quotidianne. You can transalte for me if you think it is worth.

I always thought that the Spanish team was overrated, that they won the European Championship because of the complicity of the referees, and that before descending on the field they put bidets on their feet instead of the normal shoes.

They hit like lumberjacks, when they enter in the field in the second half, they are issued with manhole covers.

Go Helvetica! Go
