Sadly, I lack Univision. Damn my illegal cable!
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

I think that they've got former soccer players commentating. (Plus the England-Portugal match was on ABC.)
What I don't understand is why Brad Gilbert insists with going with Baseball analogies for his tennis commentary.

True, but I think they keep having the same sets of commentators regardless of channel. I want to say it's based on the city the match is played it, but I haven't really been paying attention.
Some are better than others, but I don't think the problem is that they don't know the game, it's that they don't know how to talk about it. They don't convey either the joy of watching great soccer (for fans of the game) or the information necessary for the non-fan to appreciate it.

I have no ESPN. But they said John Harkes was commentating. He may or may not be any good, but he sure used to be hot (when he was playing.)
I was rooting for Portugal. Especially the baby-angel-faced Roberto.

John Harkes is a cut above. I'm very happy he's doing France v. Brazil.

Hey all. The bf is looking for a new comic book forum. Anyone know any good ones? He's mostly into Marvel, but I'm slowly and subtly converting him to the DC side of the force.

I'm a (no longer provisional) teacher! Just when I'd given up on my school getting off their butts and endorsing me so I could be licensed, they did it!

Oh, and also I just took a look at the "Interview Guide" for my interview next Wednesday. I swear, my college application was less involved -- and shorter.
