Finally the World Cup is over, Spain won. Do they deserve it? Yes and No! They played very efficiently and won all games they needed to. But were quite lucky in the final, what would have happened if Iniesta got a red card for his foul against van Bommel? He wouldn't be able to score the decisive goal. But the Netherlands can't complain they had their chances by Robben.
Thomas Müller won the Golden Boot as the most succesful striker scoring the most goals, five. Wait haven't Sneijder and Villa scored 5-times as well? Müller won by more assists then the other two... a bit weird rule, isn't it? Shouldn't all three get the trophy? What has providing assists to do with scoring your own goals? Not much in my eyes... Maybe somebody should think about that rule.
No World Cup anymore also means that I got nothing, really nothing, to do anymore. I can't even go to the beach today, as we're expecting thunderstorms and possible tornados. That could at least be entertaining. Nobody really got time due to exam period, no work, no sports (summer break), no TV (just crappy programmes), no movies, at least no good ones are on I know of. Seems like the next days, hopefully not weeks, are going to be fun, fun, fun... NOT!

Germany 4, Argentina 0
On and on and on...
This World Cup is getting better the longer it lasts. France OUT (as expected); Italy OUT (good surprise, but deserved) Brazil OUT (surely deserved, if you more interested in starting fights and playing unfair, than playing soccer, you don't belong to a World Cup)!
But most surprisingly is the German team. They are playing really good so far, and made it to the semi final for a good reason.
Unfortunately some thunderstorm kinda destroyed yesterday's public viewing. I was supposed to watch the match in a park, but as the heavy rain and lightning started about an hour before kickoff we decided to drive back home. After this brilliant victory over Argentina, we made it back to the city center. This town is getting crazier with each victory. Yesterday we joined a motorcade through the city, big fun. I hope on Wednesday the weather is getting better to get the full experience somewhere.
I still miss my life in Edinburgh. 100 days ago the lectures ended, so long ago, but still seem so short ago. All those nice memories... Where is all the time inbetween gone?
And what am I going to do in the future? I have no idea, that is Germany, almost everybody and everything is unable to give me the information I need to plan anything. That is quite stupid... but that's Germany, unfortunately.
If nothing is going to work out on time or in any useful way I can still go on vacations... not my original plan at all, but better than hanging around here and having nothing to do.

Blogging World Cup Style
Finally I'm done with my exam, and passed it, which means I have no more for at least a year. So now I got some days off, since I came back from Edinburgh 4 weeks ago. Can't believe I'm in Germany for 4 weeks now, where did the time go? Unbelievable!
The World-Cup is also finished with the group stage, damn... just less than half of the games left.
HAHA, this is awesome, while writing this I'm watching Uruguay vs. South Korea. And Suarez just scored the 1:0 for Uruguay. An unbelievable mistake of the keeper again. So hilarious, what is that guy doing? Just letting the ball pass, while the striker is behind him. I love this World Cup and its mistakes. So funny.
Anyways, to make this post more World-Cup like, I put up some original Vuvuzela sound. If you can't hear it, click on this LINK and be amazed by the sound. (If you don't like the sound switch it off, or get the normal blog HERE, but you have to open it in a new window or tab.)
The weather is really nice here, just a little too hot. Tomorrow at 4pm Germany is playing and I'm going to watch it in some beer garden with some friends. I hope it's not gonna be too crowded and we get some good spots. After the match against Ghana people already freaked out. Partying on the streets, lightning Bengal fireworks, dancing on cars. Crazy! That was just the group stage, what is going to happen after we won some more matches? Can't imagine that, even after we made it to the European Championship Final 2 years ago it wasn't that insane.

Déjà vu
Next Saturday, next post... which shows that nothing is going on again.
At least the World Cup is still running. Thanks, to Denmark and Cameroon I got the first right result with my bets tonight. Unlucky for Cameroon, they are out of the competition. But what is wrong with the goalkeepers this time? So far they made 9 major mistakes that resulted in goals. That's a quite high ratio of one out of three matches. Everything else is as expected, France is almost out, Italy is playing bad too (no offence intended).
Not much more is going on atm, I'm just busy studying...awfully boring ad annoying. But at least it is coming to an end on Wednesday. Hopefully for a long, long, long time.
Right now I have to check my classes for next semester. As far as I found out available offer is not really satisfying. Most classes but one does not sound interesting at all... Let's see what is going to happen. I hope I'll get this one... otherwise this could become a very boring time. One of the reasons why I tried to escape here, and now it feels like falling back into a life I thought I left behind. Not so nice thoughts and I have no real idea what to change right now to solve this problem. I hope I'm gonna find a key that problem during the summer... Otherwise I don't know what to do... or not to do.

World Cup
Saturday night, what else could be better than sitting at home and having nothing to do? Awesome, nobody got time and nothing is going on... I'm pretty sure this wouldn't have happen in Edinburgh... Seems like it is time to leave the country again, not much going on here... well not exactly nothing, I still got my books and the world cup has started. But this is not the same as it was 4 years ago in Germany. I loved the Public-Viewing at the 'FIFA Fan Fests'. Awesome atmosphere and people from all over the world have been there. Today, nothing like this is going on here... stupid, this would be so much fun and I would have something to do. To give you guys an impression how those 'Fests', I uploaded a picture, which I have taken at game Brazil vs. Australia.
Just 5 games played in South Africa so far and I already saw a goal which might be the best of the whole tournament. Not exactly the best goal, but probably the best mistake by a goalkeeper. And where else should this guy come from, if not from England. The country most famous for the best keeper mistakes in history. All this happen in tonight's match England vs. USA, if you missed it, wanna watch it again or just have no idea what happen, you can watch the video HERE.
So let's see what is going to happen in the upcoming matches, but I honestly think this is quite hard to beat ;-)
