If I weren't so sad about Brazil losing, I'd be deeply amused by the fact that the Dutch fans broke Twitter with their 'Hup Holland Hup'. Oh, who am I kidding, I am deeply amused that the Dutch funs broke Twitter with their cheering. Go fans!

All the FB status updates of my friends currently sound infinitely more traumatised than they would have been if this was, say, our team knocked out of the cricket World Cup. Which is understandable, because there's nothing surprising about our cricket team snatching glorious defeat from the jaws of victory, but extremely surprising to witness the entire Brazilian football team fall apart after conceding one goal. I bet tomorrow's newspapers will have headlines like 'Brazil was "Robbed"'

I also find this more amusing than I should. And a little scary:

Dude, what a nailbiter! I don't think my adrenals have turned off the taps yet.

ETA: ...That is a creepy, creepy orange.

They had it! And then WHAM, one stupid defending error and the entire team falls apart. And all the stupid unnecessary fouls, man.

It's a deeply creepy and yet oddly amusing orange. That's why I reconsidered and put it under cut. The things Tumblr comes up with sometimes!

Hee, I'm worried that my support is a team-killer! I was an English fan and then a Brazil fan. I was going to be a Ghana fan next, but I don't want to hurt their chances!

I *am* a Ghana fan tonight, but I fear they might lose anyway. Uruguay is a good team and Ghana, while excellent, has been wasting too many opportunities. Meanwhile, I don't know who to support in tomorrow's Argentina vs. Germany, because I like the way both teams have been playing and secretly wanted them to meet them in the finals (or meet Brazil in the finals)!
