Did you hear that Nelson Mandela's granddaughter was killed in a car accident returning home from a concert? That's why he didn't plan to be at the opening ceremonies.

Yeah. It was his great-granddaughter. A one-car accident, and the person driving was apparently drunk. He survived.

I only saw the second half, so I missed both goals. The one scored by the USA was... interesting. I bet the English goalie is glad he doesn't have to go home and face his countrymen right away.

Vanesa. Hey, people!!! Did you hear that Argentina WON over Nigeria soccer team!? I'm really happy!!!
Of course, I like Nigeria very much as a country. But I can 't help to be really happy for Argentina won today...However, this Wolrd Cup, we don't have a very god team, so I don't think we'll go that far...

What an awful thing...She was just a little girl. So the man who killed her was drunk...and he survived... . I cannot say what I really think about it without exploding of rage.

Well, I honestly can't imagine the hell on earth he will endure having to live with himself after this. My guess is when a drunk driver kills a child (well, any human being, but especially a child ), that their own self-flagellation has to be worse than all the animosity the rest of us feel for them. I remember many many years ago my sister almost hit a child, going through a residential neighborhood----he was 6 or 7 and just ran out in front of her. This wasn't a drunk driving issue, but the fact that she could have taken the life of a child, even without it being her fault, was enough to really mess her up. I can't imagine if she actually HAD hit him! Just imagine taking the life of a child because of making a poor decision, such as getting behind the wheel drunk. I will never understand it.

Argentina is one of my top 5 favorites Vanesa. I can't believe they only made 1 goal in that game though!... unless they were not playing their best. Germany is a beast! Their game against Australia was 4 - 0. It was a massacre lol

Hi, Carol:
I suppose I must be thankful the team could make a goal...Their play was not excellent before the World Cup, so...what may we espect they would do Now? Argentina used to be a very good soccer team, but after Maradona was appointed as the Team Technical Director, it turned to be a fiasco .
Messi is a great soccer player, but poor guy..he cannot do it all by himself. I hope the whole team could play like Messi does!
But I love your Wallpaper with Messi in it! Wonderful job! Messi is my favorite in this World Cup , I must confess it. And he is very good looking too.
Vanesa.
