I have always enjoyed watching all kinds of sports but have never been fanatic about anything. However, these last few days I have been thoroughly immersed in the action. Perhaps because of our national team's participation in the World Cup football which has obsessed the nation. People are proud of 'our boys' and their achievement even though they had to leave after the group stage (which, to be honest, is where we objectively belong). However, with a little bit of luck it could have been the minuscule Slovenia (which is not the same as Slovakia - the latter are still in the tournament) playing in the last 16.
Then there's Wimbledon. The only tennis tournament I remember watching on TV as a child and being fascinated by the spectale. The fascination has remained to date and it is still my favourite Grand Slam. And there has been plenty of drama already and an unbelievable match which is unlikely to ever be surpassed. 183 games played over the course of 3 days before one of the opponents finally succumbed.
So, if I'm not around much, I'm liklely occupied with watching one sport or the other in between work and keeping the house. The madness will soon be over anyway...

Well if you are crazy then I'm right there with you. Wimbledon has ALWAYS been my favorite. There is just something about the tournament I love and always have. As for the World Cup. I'm not a soccer (football) fan at all but this has just sparked a great deal of interest to me and I can't get enough of it. I think it was the first match with USA and England. It's been excellent and I have it on all the time when I'm home. I don't care whose playing. I just enjoy it. Our team lost today 2-1 against Ghana. Damn it. Oh well may the best team win. So can I join your loony club? ROIFLMAO xoxox Have a great rest of the weekend :)
That's where Amoeba is, too -- work or the back bedroom watching one sporting event or another. Today I called him to lunch and he answered me, but he never showed up at the table. I called him again. When he arrived at the table he wondered why I was serving him cold hot food. Hello?!
Everybody around me has been talking about the World Cup football. They are hotter than the summer is.
