Over There - Terrill in Germany for World Cup 2006

MY FELLOW SOCCER CRAZY FANS

Happy to see Polska got for once what or maybe even more than it deserves

Polska has been screwed way too many times in history

but the USA got really pimped by FIFA especially after having narrowly missed being seeded in top pot

I do not understand why Europe as a whole and Switzerland in particular should continue the benefit of such great draws

but for their draw the Swiss would never have qualified to begin with
and then now look to pass through based on the draw itself

there are 3 tough groups and 1 balanced and 4 groups that are much
easier two of which are ridiculously easy groups

I will be in Germany and singing at the top of my lungs

" Over there, over there, Send the word, send the word over there, That the Yanks are coming, the Yanks are coming, The drums rum tumming every where. So prepare, say a prayer, Send the word, send the word to beware, We'll be over, we're coming over, And we won't come back till we're a winner over there.'

Am sure my German friends will just love hearing that!!

Also the draw for me has a bit of deja vue

Czech'a first then Italy

Was I not in Italy 16 years ago for these same set of first two games

Guilio should remember it well as we were in the Olympic stadium in Rome together cheering for opposite sides as we will be doing this time around in Kaiserslautern

Over There !!

Johnnie, get your gun,
Get your gun, get your gun,
Take it on the run,
On the run, on the run.
Hear them calling, you and me,
Every son of liberty.
Hurry right away,
No delay, no delay,
Make your daddy glad
To have had such a lad.
Tell your sweetheart not pine,
To be proud her boy's in line.

Over there, over there,
Send the word, send the word over there--
That the Yanks are coming,
The Yanks are coming,
The drums rum-tumming
Ev'rywhere.
So prepare, say a pray'r,
Send the word, send the word to beware.
We'll be over, we're coming over,
And we won't come back till it's over
Over there !!!

Johnnie, get your gun,
Get your gun, get your gun,
Johnnie show the Hun
Who's a son of a gun.
Hoist the flag and let her fly,
Yankee Doodle do or die.
Pack your little kit,
Show your grit, do your bit.
Yankee Doodle fill the ranks,
From the towns and the tanks.
Make your mother proud of you,
And the old Red, White and Blue.

Over there, over there,
Send the word, send the word over there--
That the Yanks are coming,
The Yanks are coming,
The drums rum-tumming
Ev'rywhere.
So prepare, say a pray'r,
Send the word, send the word to beware.
We'll be over, we're coming over,
And we won't come back till it's over
Over there !!


Over there, over there,
Send the word, send the word over there--
That the Yanks are coming,
The Yanks are coming,
The drums rum-tumming
Ev'rywhere.
So prepare, say a pray'r,
Send the word, send the word to beware.
We'll be over, we're coming over,
And we won't come back till it's over
Over there.

OH THE YANKS ARE COMIN' INDEED !!!

and thanks to George M Cohan for the great song
