We saw Brasil - Croatia on TV tonight. It's great that Telemundo, a Spanish broadcaster, is repeating all games in the evening. Just too bad that it's impossible not to know the result before we get a chance to watch the replay (the games are during the day in the U.S.). Even though we knew the result in advance, Brasil - Croatia was a awesome game to watch with many goal attempts and great soccer from both teams. Kaka's goal, just before half-time, was really nice.

Monday I had lunch with three new colleagues to welcome them to our company, and in the restaurant there was a large screen with the match between the Czech Republic and the United States. We couldn't see the game from our table, but when in the 28' minute Claudio Reyna hit the post there was a disappointed "ohhh" sound going through the restaurant.

I was not surprised that the Czech won -- they have a very strong team.
