Life is All Right On The Rhine

The 4th of July seems like a good time for my first World Cup post. If you didn't see the epic Italy-Germany match this afternoon, try to catch the highlights between hot dogs and fireworks tonight - some incredible playing on both sides, especially Italy's two overtime goals. The second shot was the most impressive of the game - an open man just ran in and popped the ball right over the goalie's head. Talk about a nail in the coffin. Here's a little Germany/World Cup playlist for you:

Elliott Smith - "Brand New Game": mp3 (link removed)
Beirut - "Rhineland (Heartland)": mp3 (link removed)
Radiohead - "Rhinestone Cowboy": mp3 (link removed)
Gang Starr - "No Shame In My Game": mp3 (link removed)

Enjoy the 4th, folks. I'll probably be sitting on the roof of my building looking for fireworks.
