It's Go Time!
We're 1 minute into the Germany-Costa Rica game. The U2 "City of Blinding Lights" opening was impressive, but I still favor the music on my old FIFA World Cup computer game - Song No. 2 by Blur. Oh, and another version I had started off with Tub Thumper by Chubba Wumba.
I'll take one-hit wonders for 500, Alex.
Just as I was typing this, Germany's Philip Lahm just cut in from the left wing, beat two Costa Rican defenders and launched a shot that banked in off the far post.
1-0, Germany. Thanks for coming Costa Ricka.
