Many of you know that I’m a total World Cup Fan. Yesterday, for the first time in history, a united Germany won the World Cup! And what a well deserved victory it was. Although I backed Argentina (I always go for the underdog), they simply weren’t the better team. The goal that made the Deutschlanders champions was perfection itself and scored by a late substitute, Mario Götze. Isn’t the shot above of Mario scoring astounding?

My heart goes out to all the teams who participated. World Cup 2014 was, with the exception of the biting incident, a shining example of sportsmanship, challenge, and thrills. I’ve packed away my Team USA and Holland shirts, but look forward to pulling them out of storage in 2018. My sincere thanks to all the teams for the incredible entertainment.

Have a merry Monday!

Cheers,

Jianne

You all know what team I’m rooting for today. I have a weakness for underdogs though and the announcer just mentioned that The Australian team is the lowest ranked of all the teams in the World Cup. So, may the House of Orange prevail, but the Aussies put on a grand show!

Best I can do.

We won! Doing a huge yes yank right now! And we played brilliant soccer. Now, my loyalties are broken in half. Is there any way Holland can meet the USA in the finals?

Sigh.

I’ll be cheering on the House of Orange tomorrow!

Cheers,
