"There is nothing to do now but yak later."
-Nate, before the USA-Ghana game
Geoff: "I couldn't have done this trip then."
Andrew: "I couldn't do that trip now."
(general agreement)
Comparing the 2006 and 2010 World Cup trips
P.s. I got the Nederland-Brasil game correct, with the correct score. Fuck yeah.

From the Sun Deck
Wednesday: Victory.
Thursday: Recovery.
Friday: Relaxation.
We managed to get up early and get down to the Apartheid Museum in Soweto. (A quick stop at KFC for breakfast was made. Try the "a.m. Riser". Delicious.)
The Apartheid Museum was a pretty powerful experience, although the timeline of the country's history was difficult to follow. That being said, it was definitely the "Never Again" moment of 2010 - paralleling several moments from 2006.
Problem: Apparently they also have issues with car theft from the museum. Solution: When you drive out of the gate, they have you turn your car off and then back on. If you can turn it back on, you have the keys. Therefore you are not a their. Therefore you can go.
Currently, I'm sitting on our sun deck, enjoying the afternoon warmth and sitting in some strangely uncomfortable chairs. Around me are three men I love. They are warriors. And Ghana is coming up next.
Saturday: Back to battle.
Thursday: Recovery.
Friday: Relaxation.

Day 8 Recap
Don't have much to say today that hasn't been said.
GER-SRB. Watched in my hotel room. Wow, I guess Germany aren't the world beaters? Looks like Australia is just pretty bad. If we advance we're getting someone from this group. Serbia looked tough.
USA-SLO. Watched in my hotel room and poolside. We tied. Thank god. Enough See (see video diary below.)
ENG-ALG. Thank god England doesn't have it. Thank god Algeria tied England. Now all we need is to be Algeria. That's it. (See two sentences ago... they just tied England.)
Pool leader: Noah still. This day f'ed everyone up.
