World Cup Fever

Have you caught it yet?

It’s called the world’s “beautiful game”, and is watched by millions, especially during the World Cup. Lucky for us, team USA! USA! USA! has landed at the top of their Group, and made it through to the Round of 16, where countries will now face single elimination.

Make sure you watch it this weekend, and I guarantee you will catch the fever!

In fact, I think a lot of people will be calling into work with the “sick” bug in the next few weeks, while they stay home to cheer on their team!

This weekend’s schedule (check ESPN for local times):

SAT JUN 26

Uruguay v Korea

USA v Ghana

SUN JUN 27

Germany v England

Argentina v Mexico

With powerhouses such as last World Cup finalists France and Italy already sent home, this tournament promises some exciting match ups and a new winner.

Adventure on, and “Viva la futbol!”

And the winner is…

Meg O’Brien, from New York City, for her beautiful picture of a camel near the ocean in Mombassa, Kenya, entitled “Ship of the Desert”.

It was a real battle of two camels, as well as a nomad looking for a camel in this competition! You can check out all the beautiful entries, as well as the comments here.

Meg wins a PacSafe camera bag!
