Oh crap.. Horrible incident at nationwide Nascar race. I hope everyone is ok.

Snoopy: I think whoever wins the other semi will be the favorite in the final. I guess Germany will go all the way.

Today i was cheering for Uruguay. It would have been so cool if Suarez had made it to the final and scored the decisive goal :)

Congrats Canada!

It was an awesome game. And clearly the two best teams were in the final.

But anyway Finland is the only country with back to back medals in last two olympics :)

Tuesday: Plushenko should have won. Quite ridiculous that the winner did not do any quadruple jumps.

And mostly the sports where judges decide who wins are ridiculous to begin with.

One can play for a country one is a citizen of. Once you play for a country, you will only be able to represent that country in the future also, even if you have multiple citizenship. (there are exceptions when your nationality changes involuntarily, for example like in the former Yogoslavias case).

So England is stuck with Beckham :) I think he most likely will be selected to the team.

But I don't really know how this new nationality would work in UK's case. If you gain UK citizenship, which one of the four associations (England, Scotland, Wales, N-I) you will be eligible to play for? Maybe all of them? Or none? I don't even know how it works for the people originally from Britain. Atleast one could play for the team UK that will probably play in 2012 olympics :)

For some reason Almunia has never played for Spain, maybe he should have been given a chance at some point. But Spain has plenty of good keepers to choose from. If he becomes eligible to play for England, in my opinion he would be the very good choice for them (if we leave team chemistry and moral issues out of the picture).

awesome: Of course thats a bit of exaggeration from me. But then again nobody expected them to lose against US now, but they managed to do it. I really would have liked to see Spain play Brazil in the final..

Of course they are a great team and have been on a nice streak since Euro 2008 qualification. But their success in World Cup has never been as good as expected and thats the reason i stated they find strange ways to lose. I hope they keep up the good form they have been in the recent years and do well in WC 2010.

Pedro Martínez: Confederations Cup is pretty much the second highest level where those teams could meet up in a competitive match. And semifinal of such a tournament seems like game of importance to me.

Of course Spain is much better team and has lots of more talent. But they always seem to find ways to lose to a weaker opponent. As long as i remember Spain has been one of the favourites in World cup, eventhough their best result is fourth place finish in 1950!

Go Kimi! :)

What a great finish to a great season! :)
