I've found a honest politician...


This guy is running for some kind of communal officer in Auderghem, the commune where we live. I was about to throw it away until I noticed his name. Obviously it doesn't mean the same thing here, and the pronounciation is different (the H would be silent in both names), but still... are you kidding me? With a name like that, he should be going into porn, not politics...

How about France beating Brazil the other day and then Italy just beating Germany in one of the best matches I've ever seen, especially at this level/stage in the tournament. Both teams just went for it... so entertaining when teams play to win instead of playing not to lose. It was a different Italy team than the one that barely tied the US a man up on us. If they play like that, and if France beats Portugal as expected in the same fashion in which they beat Brazil, it's going to be a finale for the ages. What am I going to do when the World Cup is over... start counting down until the EPL starts I guess... only a couple of months away now. One thing, I wonder if Chelsea are going to be happy with Ballack... he's going to have to play a lot better than he did this tournament to be worth half of what they're paying him. Same with Savchenko.

Anyway, to be determined... tomorrow should be another good semifinal and hopefully the final on Sunday is worthy of the 1 billion + audience it's sure to draw.
