Soccer!

I was pleased, and suprised, to notice that ESPN are going to be showing every one of the World Cup matches on American TV (and the first England match will be on the network channel ABC, because we're special). However, I really wish they'd get the rules right. A quick (ha!) check of the official regulations on the FIFA site shows that in actuality, the whole group goal difference counts above head-to-head results. Amateurs.

As an aside, for the next couple of weeks, I'll be having a guest blogger... should he think of anything to say, that is.

I'm having to pay 300 shekels for the privilege of watching the footy. Oy vei!

A guest blogger! How mysterious and exciting. I wonder who he could possibly be?

The shekel just hasn't been the same since Jesus threw the moneylenders out of the temple.

Nor since they knocked three zeroes off all the notes in 1985. It's all go with the shekel.
