Oh, wow so tomorrow is the FIFA Finale and The Red Man is bummed out because his remaining favorites Brazil and The Netherlands were eliminated. Poor old Brazil – Germany put an old-fashioned ass kicking on them and it was their party anyway and what an unhappy ending for them. Bad news all around for the Brazilians who are now between a rock and a hard place for the finale. They hate Argentina at some deep level and how can you root for Germany after that disastrous semi-final. Sweet Lady Gaga. It’s a mess.
Our Dutch amigos are holding up much better than we expected. They’ve had lots of practice at being good sports after losing. They were Gamecock fans back in the pre-Spurrier era when our seasons in American football were less than stellar.
But the good news today is The Red Man can announce the winner in advance of the Last Game because of his connection to the New Caledonian Crows. New Caledonia is an island somewhere in the South Pacific and it is evidently home to a large group of crows that can accurately predict the outcomes of the FIFA games. The process is quite complicated but the results are fool-proof. Well, really is anything totally fool-proof in this day and age, but hang on to your cell phones and put your bookies on speed dial…
Winner: Argentina!!
Put that in your pipe and smoke it…
Get me outta here Percy…Argentina players are singing Bad Moon Rising tunes in their locker room and the moon was so full last night we heard them all the way in South Carolina…
Red's Rants and Raves 
We won’t be able to watch the final but don’t put too much money on Argentina 😀

Don’t worry – New Caldonian Crows aside, Germany appears to be ready to walk away with the Cup! 🙂

Hmmmm, Argentina? I hate to disagree with a bunch of New Caledonian crows, but I think they may be singing the wrong tune. I know my human daddy is looking forward to the end of the final game. He may be getting just a wee bit tired of hearing my human mommy say, “He’s hot!” over and over again throughout the last month. Just for the record, she was saying that about the soccer players and not about my daddy. 🙂

Dear Miss Harper Lee,
I agree there is some danger in relying on bird brains, but then if you are from New Caldeonia, who’s to say? 🙂
Hahahaha about your mommy and the “hot” soccer players. My dear, have you ever…your mommy likes to walk on the Wild Side and The Red Man admires her bravado!
Wasn’t Walk on the Wild Side filmed in New Orleans many bad moons ago?
Have a spicy weekend, Sister Girl…
