OHMYGOD!!! I cannot believe you guys..;)

I am from Brasil and i being Bombarded with email about the games etc, I even talk with a dude from Ethiopia yesterday who said to me all the name of the players for the Brazilian team, and to him and the rest of the world consider soccer a religion, blah, blah, blah ... 
I am not going to wake up in the crack of dawn to watch the game, who ever win will be cool with me however, it will not change my life.
ARGGGG! can we just talk linux-hardware-software and cheese for a while, because every where I turn is the question...BRASIL TO WIN THE CUP??!!!

Hey my LINUX MASTERS --- I LOVE YOU GUYS...
