France lost. That was a fast exit. I expected that they had a great chance to do well in this years world cup. Maybe it was just bad luck. Maybe its time to jump on the Argentina bandwagon. Looks like Demichelis has already scored. Go Argentina. To cheer me up from that devastating loss by France, I have been watching some funny jokes..

The cruel irony here is that most of these bloggers are struggling (like most Jordanians) to watch these games, especially today the opening day, because ART has the rights to airing them and you have to pay for a subscription (which is a good way to make some money but a great way to be hated by the entire Middle East). Meanwhile little ol’me gets to watch them for free on my rusty old TV. What’s worse (irony wise) is that I only get 27 channels and if you minus the useless ones like “home shopping network” and “the woman’s channel” and “PBS” and two “weather network” channels and two local “French Channels” and that channel that shows you what’s showing on other channels…well it comes down to like 12 channels. And I’ve always complained because I don’t have cable TV or a satellite. But to my surprise (and discovery) one of those channels shows only sports and they’re showing the World Cup.
