ESPN3 + Comcast = YAY

US is playing Germany at 9 AM our time today (RIGHT NOW!). It was killing me that of course I'd be at work, but thanks to ESPN3/Comcast, I can watch it at my desk! :D I suspect this is going to be one good game! Made even better by watching it at work.

The picture is even sharper than it is at home, which is especially nice.

I wish World Cup happened more than once every four years -- make it every year!

Now to try to get work done at the same time...

Edit: That was such a great game. US lost by 1, but that's perfectly fine. Not only is it much better than we should have done against Germany, but due to soccer-math we advance out of the "Group of Death" (through bad luck of the draw, the US was matched against some of the best teams in the world). No one, no one!, expected US to make it out of that group, but we did it.

I don't usually care about sports, so this is an odd feeling to be so proud of something I had no involvement in at all.

Well, given that there are a fair amount of baseball players from other countries now, it's at least a more accurate name than it used to be.
