Oh where are the certainties of yesteryear? What is there left that we can cling to, adrift upon this sea of chance?

A very important position - propping up the rest.

50 on Uruguay

I have thus far earned a record of 1-12 in my predictions during this tournament. One nice bit of trivia: The ONLY team able to persevere in the face of my support has been Uruguay, and so I don't really feel like it's a risk when I place this bet:

1 on Uruguay.

I'd like to play it safer, but this is not the stage in the game for me to be careful anyhow. Pren is right on my tail.

ATM:

Bill: 2

Jester: 100

Kilted: 1650

I have to support Ghana in this game.

Ooookay. I'd be pretty cleaned out anyway.... this saves me some fake money... and some dignity. Not really. :]

That was a really good game though. I only got angry twice. :]

Goodbye Brazil!

Yayyyy Holland.

I'm glad Brazil are out. Who wants the same teams to win all the time?

Ghana have just got a penalty in extra time for a handbal!!!!

Uruguay 1:1 Ghana

This game needs to end! Ahhhh penalties!

He's missed it!!!

Penalties now.

If it were just a few inches lower!!!

Uruguay are through. ghana should have had it in the last shot of extra time. Fantastic game. The Holland Brazil game was good too.

I am so very upset over Ghana. Literally in tears (for the first time since that time my home was knocked out of the World Cup).

I cannot believe how this game turned out. Gyan will never forget tonight, I think.

Suddenly, I don't even want to carry on with this game.
