While watching the World Cup games I've been enchanted by a few of the countries' national anthems. There is the well-known and beloved Germany anthem, Portugal's is also quite beautiful and stirring, and while the national anthems are ALL special, this one is my favourite:

Here is a good vid of the players singing it during a previous match vs Brazil:

Catching up on my picspams! I hope I can get all 4 from the past 2 days up today, starting with Ghana vs USA from Saturday. Ghana won, putting out the second-last CONCACAF team from the WC. Here are some emotional pics from the match.

An interesting sidenote is that I heard someone on TV say that the club team with the most players at the WC was Portsmouth FC in England. I found this fascinating, because Portsmouth had such an interesting story this year. Forced into administration by a too-heavy debtload because of financial mismanagement, Portsmouth was deducted 10 points by the FA and could not recover from this, so they were relegated. Yet they have world-class players still with the team. These include Kevin-Prince Boateng of Ghana, who scored the opening goal against the USA on Saturday.

This match was played in driving rain. It looked absolutely horrible and I am sure it affected how the game was played, but the pics are nice because of it.

Uruguay won and South Korea is eliminated.
