World Cup 2010 – South Africa

Well June has finally come and the World Cup games in South Africa have begun. I don’t know about you but I have been glued to the TV watching every game played so far. I love the World Cup and all the world wide excitement and drama it brings to the stage.

So far it has been no disappointment as the games have been mostly well played, only one blowout so far, and the USA scored an impressive draw with England to bring some big excitement to the states the weekend.

I went to AT&T Park to watch the USA-UK game and to everyone’s surprise they had over 20.000 show up to watch the game on the big screen at the baseball park. It was quite an electrifying scene and most everyone went home quite happy.

I have also been quite happy to see the performance by the referees in this Cup. I am a long time ref myself so I watch closely to see how the guys at this level perform and so far they have done a terrific job. Some very good calls, spotted some things that could have been missed and over all kept games under very good control. Hats off and lets hope it continues throughout the Cup this year. It all started with the offsides call in the very first game where everyone thought they got it wrong but under close exam it was seen to be spot on.

Well enough for now, it is time for KO of the Italy game and I want to see if the Azzuri are ready to defend or if they are tired and old. What will it be?

Go USA on Friday! Tim and his sore ribs will be ready for victory.
