sorry - don;t throw things, I'm just kidding! Actually I'm a fan of English style soccer. Can't stand all the hype over the Brazilian style.

As to tuning my instruments or watching; I'll definately be doing both! Tuning banjo is a never ending job anyway.

There are disadvantaged to living on a musician's salary BUT there are definate advantages to working a musician's hours. Even though the games will be broadcast at some unGodly hours, I will be able to catch 'em - as long as I get cable installed by then.

Do any Americans know if the networks are broadcasting? Or will it all be ESPN? My friend Glenn Davis will be doing a lot of the broadcasting for ESPN.
