THE FRENCH RIVIERA, USA SOCCER, AND WORLD CUP PICKS

Below this post are some more pictures from my boy who is out in the French Riveria right now. He and a couple of the crew got some days off so they ended up taking the train to France. He said it was a really cool place, and that they spent most of their time skating everywhere.

As for the world cup, I had a chance to speak with Robbie Findley before the highly anticipated game against England. Robbie seemed ready to to go and the way he played was right on. It was great to see him play well at such a high level, and I thought that he kept getting better and better as the game went on.

Hopefully, we get to see more of Robbie in the starting line up in the upcoming games against Slovenia and Algeria.

As for my teams of the World Cup tourney so far… I got to say Germany looked sharp, however, Austrailia looked like they wanted nothing to do with them.

Argentina looks good and when their shots start going in, they are just gonna be more and more dangerous. Holland has their smooth passing going and that seemed to help them defensively. We all saw a big win and nice style from both Japan and Ghana too.

Those are the teams who have impressed me so far. Watching all this soccer is so awesome, but these early morning wake-ups are getting brutal! There is always DVR, but it definitely doesn’t compare to watching a game live.
