2010 world cup day 1

For some reason Kilroy's opened up at 9am for the opening game of the 2010 World Cup today. I mean it's cool that they did that but I'm not really sure why they decided to open up 2 and a half hours earlier than normal. Mexico v South Africa didn't seem like a huge draw to me but I appreciated the gesture and I figured that I might as well go up there to support the early opening so that they might do it again in the future.

And they had a breakfast bar. I love breakfast when other people cook it.

So they had about 8 people up there when the game started. About 20 when it ended. That's about what I figured. The breakfast bar was only eggs and bacon. If there had been some hash browns involved I would have given it a passing grade. There was a special on Miller Lite but I opted for the Mimosa's. Not bad.

Highlights: Kilroys thought the first game started at 9am. It started at 10am. The bartenders were kind of annoyed at that.

Vuvuzelas - I like them. Bartenders hated them in 2009 and they still do.

Yahoo Pick'em - I'm playing in a pick'em league and I got both of today's games right. I even got the score right in the first one. I doubt that happens too often.

Mexico v South Africa - Very entertaining game. Most people didn't know the offsides rule. I was rooting for the Bafana Bafana but I wasn't surprised that Mexico was able to equalize.

France v Uruguay - Awful game. Why didn't France get a new coach after the Euros? Why doesn't Ribery ever pass? Why does Evra suck for France but not Manchester United? France is my 2nd favorite team because it's basically a rough outline of Arsenal. Sure Uruguay makes the games ugly but they should have taken 3 points today. That might come back to get them. Things like that usually do.
