As I type this I am eating vast quantities of mochizuki humble pie, as lovingly prepared for me by my soon to be soccer-hooligan wife.
Well, well, well. Who (not me) would have thought that Japan would win this and that Cameroon would so resemble the Marlay Park Celtic u-11's. Whilst it was great win for Japan, it was a shockingly bad game of football. But then again, if you have brown eyes and eat rice, you probably don't care.
Tonight's games
New Zealand v. Slovenia
Be still my racing heart. Hard to find something nice to say about the Kiwis after the drubbing their rugby team gave Ireland last weekend. Slovenia, is by all accounts a lovely country, they don't play rugby and are thus unlikely to beat us 66-28 (Sweet Mother of God). Thus,
Prediction: Slovenia 2-0
Portugal v. Cote D'Ivoire
Given the pedigree of some of the prima donnas gracing both these teams, we are likely to see Oscar worthy histrionics as players writhe in apparent death throes after every tackle.
Prediction: Ronaldo to win best supporting actor, Drogba to get the oscar for best cast in a supporting role.
Brazil v. North Korea
Apparently North Korea, inspired by the wise words and footballing nous of their Dear Leader, Kim 'The Special One' Il Jung, will bring down a "rain of fire" on the Brazilian defence, inflicting a defeat that will 'make the nations of this earth quake with fear' and would rather 'die a thousand deaths' than concede a goal to the 'decadent girly men' of South America. That and they'll start blowing shit up should Brzail take the lead.
Prediction: Expect a tense game, and if North Korea are a goal down at half time, a refusal to come out for the second half unless they are allowed to score a goal too and Kim Jung Il can do the corner-flag victory dance routine.
