Due to work and moving I haven’t been able to get as into this World Cup as I did for the 2002 edition. I was too tired to leave the house at 5 am to go to the Dover Arms and watch England’s first match against Paraguay so I watched it through sleepy eyelids on the couch.

I’ve caught no more than 45 minutes of any single match, which is down from last time when two of my friends and I watched every minute of every match.

I’m going to be trying to get to the Dover Arms to watch the remainder of England’s matches, though the Lion’s Head also seems to be showing the games live and that’s closer to the Waterfront Skytrain station for quick escape to work after the final whistle.

So the question is are you watching this World Cup? Who are you cheering for, and where will you be watching the matches?

    Not watching it - don’t have cable, barely get the stations I do get on rabbit ears anyhow, and just not that interested. We’re not a sports house at all. Plus I just started playing Drakengard, so that’ll tie up whatever free time I have left not mountain biking, photographing things, fencing, hiking, or working on my new website design. And sleeping. And I’ll try to blog more, but really, I feel pretty boring these days.

    Well I guess I won’t try to bring up England’s form, or Wayne Rooney’s metatarcel with you during our meetup.

    At home, at the gym, and on Thursday I’ll be at Steamworks at 05.30 to watch Argentina annihilate Serbia-Montenegro. CAMPEONES!

    I’ve already caught about 7 or 8 matches. It helps being home sick for 2 weeks as well. At least one thing could make crappy daytime TV a little better. Thanks world cup!

    Indeed - I’d be a terrible conversation partner if such was the topic…
