wherein Liz watches soccer
Jun. 26th, 2014 02:02 pmYe gods and little fishes, watching the World Cup is not good for my heart. Especially when I sit there saying, repeatedly, "The Germans run toward loose balls and take control of them; why do you just assume they're going to do that and not try to grab control yourselves?!" at my team. (Or rather, at the computer screen where I'm watching the match on Univision's tiny, glitchy livestream window and listening to Spanish commentary I only catch maybe a fifth of, and that's mostly proper names and contextual inference.) But despite missing on those last two chances in stoppage time, the USA is through to the knockout round!
Thank you, Portugal, for beating Ghana. :-)

Okay, now I will go back to pretending I can be a productive member of society.
