Congrats to the land of my blood line Trinidad and Tobago!

Smallest nation in the world cup EVER:  odds of winning 2000:1 Sweden’s odds 40:1 T and T played with only 10 men for the second half. Result of the match: A DRAW….go deh soca warriors! To keep in perspective just how great an accomplishment this was, the US is the #5 ranked team in the world and their odds are 101:1 to win.

I agree with the first yellow card for Avery John since it was a late tackle but on the second yellow I think the ref was a bit trigger happy! Come on man the usual idea is that on a 50-50 tackle if the player gets the ball it is not a card-able offense, but oh well, only made the draw that more exciting.  

I do love that the Ivory Coast quit a CIVIL war to cheer for their team in the World Cup! Too bad that they definitely will not win their first game that I am currently watching.

I should add: I went to a betting generator site that shows the average odds across 20 different betting sites and realized that espn when listing the odds chose the worst odds possible for listing T & T's status which had 2000:1 Sweden 40:1 etc other sites have better odds if you consider 800:1 that much better...:)

Cali-J ueber alles in der Welt. Some think that I am mean; (I call them friends), in fact I am not that mean. What I am is sarcastic and dry to the sandpaper level. I have friends that I have never said a kind word to their face, but I praise to the ends of the earth to anyone I know and will defend them to the end. That’s just how I roll! My boys know that I am down for them, my girls know that no matter what I will keep them safe (and occasionally flirt with them [If you are a female friend of mine and think I haven’t flirted with you it just means you didn’t notice, it was extremely subtle or…not yet ]). No one is safe from my sarcasm even my own parents; hence of course as a kid I spent a significant amount of time in punishment. I treat people with respect if I think they deserve it – everyone starts off with the same amount of respect from me (a lot). You don’t need to earn my respect; you have to keep my respect.
