Condom Sales Rise as South Korea Celebrates World Cup Win

Telegraph:

South Korea’s 2-0 win in their opening World Cup game against Greece saw the sale of condoms jump five-fold back home as fans celebrated the victory.

What will happen if South Korean bring home the World Cup? The whole country will be banging?

Unrelated: Didn’t watch the game, but Switzerland beat Spain? How did that happen?

The Fun is Over

My vacation time is already up. Two weeks went by way too quick. Work is going to be crazy until the end of this month as we’re moving our web pages into the content management system; therefore, I won’t have time to watch the World Cup.

Last night, Cu Dao threw up all over me after he drank some milk. He woke up this morning coughing. I hope that he’ll recover quickly so he could go to daycare tomorrow or else one of us will have to stay home with him. The poor guy is resting now. Be strong, my son.

England vs. USA

Have to root for the home team. I’ll be in Eden cheering for the US team with the Vietnamese fellows. Go USA and make us proud!

The US scored a lucky goal and tied up with England. The US team definitely has quite some work to do, especially the defend line. Mad props to goalie Tim Howard who did a phenomenon job of keeping the ball away from the net.

Argentina vs. Nigeria

Dana’s first anticipated match. She’s rooting for the ARG. Good luck NGA!

I am watching Duke more than the game so can’t really follow too closely. ARG is dominating for sure with the first goal within 5 minutes into the game.

Korea Republic vs. Greece

Asian pride baby!

First Half: KOR was well organized and impressive in technical. KOR scored the first goal within six minutes into the game.

Second Half: Another goal for KOR. The Asian boys had definitely stepped up their game.

Shakira’s World Cup Performance

Shakira humped the speaker (cue in at 3:30) on “She Wolf,” shook her booty on “Hips Don’t Lie” and torn up the stage with “Waka Waka.” Damn, that chick is HOT.

Marriage and Divorce

I was talking to my man Hoang last night and I couldn’t help laughing at these wise words:

Married women want to change their men; married men want their women to stay the same.

Why is divorce so expensive? Because it’s worth it.

Uruguay vs. France

Good luck to the underdog!

First Half: URU was actually very impressive against the powerhouse FRA. Even though FRA had the ball more, URU hustled hard to keep the ball away from the goal.

Second Half: No score on both side. FRA clearly dominated the attack, but URU did a great defend job for a 10-men game.

GW School of Business Students Experience the World Cup

One of the School of Business professors, Lisa Delpy Neirotti, takes a group of students to World Cup to learn about the economic impact of the games on South Africa and study the way sports events can be used for social change. Watch the clip on ABC News.

South Africa vs. Mexico

The first game is finally here: the host team against my amigos. The choice is hard, but I have root for my amigos. So go Mexico. It’s not bad to spend my last vacation day watching the World Cup even though I wish I could extend my vacation for the next month.

First Half: Not a very exciting first half even though Mexico had more possession and control. I am sure Mexico will put at least one in for the second half.

Second Half: The pace was much better. RSA charged more and scored the first goal. MEX was able to put in one goal and leveled the playing field. Not a bad first game.
