No, I'm not referring to the invasion of Normandy. I'm talking about Friday's Germany v. Argentina quarterfinal match. Those of you in a respectable time zone have little appreciation for what we in Australia must endure to watch any World Cup game. We rounded up a posse at the Bridge Hotel in Richmond to witness this fine bit of football action. Kick-off was at 1:00 am. The bar closed at 2:00 am (despite prior assurances that they'd be showing the game), and so we retreated to our apartment during the second half (and of course in the ten minutes in took us to get back home, Argentina scored). After the extra time, and the shoot-out, the game wrapped up around 3:45 am. What a way to begin the weekend. . .
