Yeh, that was a bit of a shock! Nobody expected them to even make the semis. We did too, but had a much easier route than the US (we only needed to fend off Iran and New Zealand...  )

And how are the preparations for the next year World Cup in footb... I mean - soccer? It's gonna be in SA, probably without Poland. It's not certain yet but the chances that Poland will qualify for the tournament are slim.

To tell the truth, I'm not the least bit interested in soccer.  But since we have the World Cup here next year, it's now big news here. And we only qualify because we're the hosts...
