Watching the game...

Okay, so I was watching the much-hyped match today between Brazil and Croatia. Brazil is becoming known as the "Harlem Globetrotters of Soccer" because they are just that good and flashy. I was watching it with my girlfriend, who is Panamanian and homesick since people here in the states do NOT go crazy over the World Cup like the rest of the world does...should we re-name it the "World-Except-For-USA-Cup"? But I digress. Anyway, we agreed to watch it in Spanish, which meant that I would get about every fifth word. I was crawling around and found http://www.worldcupblog.org/world-cup-2006/liveblog-brazil-croatia.html, and had entirely too much fun "watching" the game with a Croatian living in Delaware, someone from India, someone very happy in a British pub with wi-fi, and all manner of other folks. It is just cool to me how our world is shrinking...When I was learning BASIC on those Apple IIe's back in high school, who would have guessed where it would all end up...
