Football... the real sport.

I have never been much of a sports person. It all dates back to High School where the activities I participated in, drama and debate, had to compete with all the sports teams for resources. A battle we generally lost. Since then I realized that I don't care to be around a lot of sports fans. They tend to drink too much and just be generally agro. That is until we discovered the World Cup.

I have been following the World Cup closer than any other sporting event in history, even the Olympics. Today Italy faces France in the final match that will decide which is the best football team in the world (literally, unlike the world series which only features teams from North America, the World Cup features teams from each inhabitable continent).

I can't decide who to root for, either way I am quite happy about the teams in the final. We have joked that the winner gets, well us moving there so, I really do hope it is France. However, spending eterninty in the Tuscan sun isn't so bad either.

Go team!

Salut,
