a day of reckoning

tomorrow morning, whether you like it or not, the quarterfinals of the world cup begin!  now, in my last copa post, I endorsed a few teams, based on my own deep-seated prejudices.  and, they all lost except for argentina.

sweden – lost to germany
ecuador – lost to england
mexico - lost to argentina
australia – lost to italy (which was bullshit!)
ghana – lost to brazil

i prefer to think of this less as my own failure to pick good teams, then as divine provenance for cecilia’s countrymen to, yes, go all the way!  viva argentina!  boo, deutschland!  i don’t care if you got past the whole fascist thing way before the argentines did, you’re gonna eat it come 11am.
