I turn on my TV in my office everyday and listen in the background.

Ian Dark is the best sports announcer in the world.

The tournament is more interesting to me than the World Cup, not sure why but it is kind of like the NCAA tournament. There are the Cinderellas like Iceland (300k) and Slovakia who provide minor upsets, but ultimately the big dogs always come out on top (Germany, Spain, France, Italy). And the fans are crazy passionate.

The Russians are the trash of Europe and the bad guys. Good to see Slovakia upsetting them this morning.

I have a lot of Welsh heritage, so I am rooting for the motherland. Go Wales!!! (another Cinderella). Love their passionate fans and the name of their star Gareth Bale. I dare any of you to name your next newborn Gareth.

Gotta love the French and their strikes. Because of the socialist economy, the people desperately cling to their crummy-ass jobs any way possible because there is no upward or even sideways employment mobility in that country and they have to cling to what they have. Otherwise they will be unemployed. Pay attention Bernie Sanders fans.
