France, Switzerland, Togo and South Korea.

Could be an interesting group, if France pull their socks up they should win it. Switzerland are not a bad side, though it pains me to say it, but South Korea are better. Unfortunately I don't know if conditions will suit them. Togo are the only team with more problems than Italy so I can't see them getting through.

Seriously, why am I watching Italy v Ghana, do I want to give myself a heart attack? Also, Marcello Lippi has a lovely voice. And there was a good point to watching the build up - apparently Buffon has been cleared of his small betting-related problem. Meanwhile, Zambrotta and Gattuso are both injured. This is bad.

Although, Lippi has once again proved his goodness by surrounding Totti with Roma players so they'll be able to help him. Marcel Desailly is a fantastic pundit. Much love. When did Cannavaro reach 32. I remember when he was only a young 18 year old who was going to be the future of the Italian defence alongside Nesta. And goodness gracious me, haven't they been.

Why do I watch? I sit there for 90 minutes calling the Italian team every name under the sun and then some, and do myself no good. And goodness me, Toni and whoever else it was, get onto the end of those kind of crosses.

Missed the second half, quizzing, but saw the end of the World Cup Match of the Day and Leonardo was on. Such love for the man.

Ice Hockey - the goal allow disallowage and allowage in game three confuses me, but not as much as baseball does. Very few things confuse me as much as baseball. Having now seen some of them without their gear on, I wish they wouldn't. Eric Staal, especially, looks like one of my friends and it's very disturbing. And dear me, could Edmonton afford a better singer please.

The other stuff that I forgot to mention yesterday was that I went on a mini-spending spree and bought myself a new pair of jeans (baggy cargo style) and a new pair smart shoes that are quite comfortable and that I can wear to interviews. I also bought a top to cover my arms for the Sports Awards tomorrow, since I've had both an acne outbreak and an unpleasent bruise on my arm. I could only find one suitable top, it's a bit boobalicious, but it'll have to do.
