Brasil 2014

Ouch, my Dish service has failed so no games for me.
They made an appointment to fix it in 3 weeks.

3 WEEKS!!!!!

I sometimes go months w/o TV but it would be nice to have the choice. At least I got to see Billy Bob die before the TV service went out.

Do you have a PC (Mac, laptop, iPad, ...) with access on the Internet? :smoke:

I have no tv so i have been watching the games online.....the only Problem is when Germany Plays, I can hear the People celebrating a few seconds before I get to the see the Goal....Other than that, it is more than worth it.....
 
FIFA appoints Mexico’s Marco Rodríguez for Tuesday’s match. This is the referee who failed to see Luis Suárez bite an opponent. He has been picked to officiate Brazil’s World Cup semi-final against Germany.

Very strange on the part of FIFA to appoint this referee. There are better referees to pick from for this important match. The good news is, the fourth official will be Mark Geiger of the US. On paper, this could possibly prevent a bad call, maybe...
To be picked as a fourth official in a semi-final match in a World Cup, is still a great achievement for a US referee.

I had picked Bjorn Kuipers of the Netherlands, one of the best for this important march, wrong again.:thumbsdn:
 
Timing for the Brasil V Germany semi-final Tuesday 8 of July, 13:00hrs Pacific time, 17:00hrs Atlantic time, 22:00hrs Central European summer Time.

The S.O. is headed to Brazil (Rio) on Wednesday. Long trip from Honolulu, but she is going to survey for the Olympics in a few years.

I told her to be safe. She's never been. She's in for an eye-opener for sure. ;)
 
Rio is as safe as one wants to make it.........

The last time I was there I spoke with cab Drivers and they mentioned that many tourists, the first Thing they ask for is to be taken to the "favelas".....The cab Drivers themselves usually do not want to go there, they tell their custumers of the dangers but many do not care.....
I make it a Habit, where ever I go, to ask the locals about safety and local conditions....I usually ask more than once.....Many times actually....that way I can get a Feeling of what is going on locally......

Rio is a beautiful City; it has it all; the People are quite friendly and always willing to help...
I felt safe there..............
