My life is complete. Wanna know why?





Because of this amazing little buddy over here. Kern's Mango Juice.
BEST JUICE EVERRR.
I have so memories of him from when I lived in Los Angeles and Denver.. I used to drink it all the time, was obsessed with it.
Words can't describe how sad I was when I moved to Chicago and couldn't find him anywhere.
Ho Ho! But not anymore! After soccer practice, whle I was waititng at the Western Brown Line station for a bus, I felt really thirsty, so I walked over the to Walgreens a block away. I was browsing the drinks when suddenly, a golden light shined out of nowhere...right on a can of Kern's Mango Juice. I kind you not, I gasped, jumped up and happiness, instantly grabbed a can and hugged it. I asked a random really nice lady (thanks!) for the 10 cents I was lacking, and bought the little buddy.

1 month, 32 teams, and 64 games later, the 2006 World Cup is over. But what a time it was.

The players, the fans, the passion. It brought everyone together. They've all inspired me to do my best when I play. Hands down one of the best months of my life. Much thanks to all you guys for being apart of it as well. Made it all the more fun, no?

sure, things didn't turn out the way I wanted them to. I'm not bitter though. Allez Les Bleus all the way, I'm a France fan forever. congrats to Italy, nonetheless.

 Au revoir to this amazing man:



I could go on and on about the incident (Materazzi, you = public enemy #1, you hear me?), but the fact is, putting that aside, with his grace, his flair, his leadership...Zizou is one the greatest footballers of all time. Really sad that that was his last game, but at the same time, it was really awesome to be apart of his last cup.



Thanks again....and see you in 4 years

chill and take it easy, all~

The ever so graceful Zidane in center.

 

Portugal's goalie, Ricardo.

mad props to him, he's flipping excellent. In the final minutes, he was playing UP TOP. He's a mind reader, I've never seen him choose wrong during a PK/free kick.

 

 

So now, this weekend...the final 2 games of the cup.  Tomorrow is the 3rd place match between Germany (whuuut) and Portugal. Sunday...The CHAMPIONSHIP between France (yusss..Allez Les Bleus!) and Italy. It's amazing how far we've come. I can't believe 62 games have been played. Seems like the group stage with all those hopeful 32 teams was just yesterday. In just over 48 hours, the cup will end, until 4 years later in South Africa (awesomeness). The last month has honestly been one of the most amazing in my life. This weekend's games are going to be excellent, no doubt. So I ask you...

 

 

 

Netherlands vs Portugal.

OMFG.

CRAZIEST, most RIDICULOUS game I have ever seen in...forget the World Cup...MY LIFE. It was utterly pure chaos. Players, Coaches, the Ref...Everyone lost their minds. The first half was pretty sane, with Maniche of Portugal scoring the only goal. The second half was a joke, fights were sparked every couple minutes. It wasn't a football game anymore.

Check it.
4 Red Cards given out
16...I repeat, 16 Yellow Cards
That's right...20 total cards throughout this match.
Both set a new record in cards given out during a world cup match.

As The Univision commentators said..."Welcome to the Jungle!" haha!
