Team USA loses to Germany 1 – 0
Well, Amigos, Casa de Canterbury has joined the FIFA Frenzy in 2014 but we are in a Catch 22 because we are also caught up in Wimbledon tennis these days so thank God for the DVR thingie. Be still my heart. We have so much international viewing to do we seem to be dog tired, if you catch my drift.
Pretty studies FIFA rules
Pretty multi-tasks at night and tries to figure out how the USA advances to the next round of FIFA when it loses to Germany today. Apparently there is some mysterious system and a Wizard in the land of FIFA Oz rolls a pair of dice and makes it a crap shoot for which teams move on.
Who cares about the system?
We’re still in the hunt
Meanwhile, across the Pond and Time Zones in Cyberspace, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer also advance past the slippery second round at the Wimbledon tennis tournament so Pretty and Slow can both be happy. Happiness oozes at Casa de Canterbury tonight…
Rafa Nadal’s coach Uncle Tony very worried today
Rafa also worried in second set tiebreak
But he rallied and won in 4 sets

Oops – a little late on that warning
And so we come to the end of a very busy day for all of us in the bleacher seats. Not everyone at Casa de Canterbury shares the enthusiasm of the two sports-nuts lesbians who are in charge of our daily lives.
Tennis Ball Obsessed Chelsea prefers
chasing the ball to watching it on TV
Get me outta here Percy…I think I hear the pellets hitting the food bowls downstairs…
Red's Rants and Raves 
All of us up North are sure glad you are enjoying the summer sports extravaganza. Ma, like Spike and TBO Chelsea, prefers her comfy bed. As for me, I’ve destroyed 2 new soccer balls and find myself in the dog house. No new balls for awhile. Sigh… It’s so hard being a tomboy.
Love to you all,
Poppy, Cassie Potatoes and Ma

Dear Poppy,
You are having your own FIFA!! Good for you – and you have your own rules just like the other FIFA does, too!! 🙂
We are sorry you are in the dog house and the old woman Slow knows how hard it is to be a tomboy. She was one herself back before time began.
Pretty has a horrible sunburn which she got yesterday on her day off so we have all tried to take care of her today. She and Slow love their comfy bed as well as your Ma loves hers, I imagine.
Geez Louise. Sometimes I think they’re camping out…or in as it were. Heh, heh. 🙂
Much love to you and Cassie P and your Ma,
The Red Man

So you guys made it through to the last 16 at the world cup – way to go! We are of course supporting the young Scot at Wimbledon, especially as he has time to rescue a stray dog on the way to a match 😉

Is that true about Andy? We didn’t know this! We love that he has a female coach, though, as you would well imagine!! Must be one of the good guys!! Wimbledon is our favorite time of the year – much more fun than our US Open! Europeans do tennis right…:)

We got the same problem. Tennis or soccer, a little bit of this and a little bit of that – but when it comes to the crunch soccer wins, but now added to the mix is our cricket side in Sri Lanka and the Tour de France. I suspect Sheila we’re going to sit with a burnt out remote.
🙂 Loved your post.
