CORRECTION

i am sorry, but i was a bit too fast with the coinflipping. today i found out, that before they flip coins, fairplay rules. isn't that sweet?? so the us girls have a little advantage because they have just one yellow card and the korean girls have two. for all who aren't familiar with the card system: when a player performs an evil foul, she gets a yellow card. it is kind of a warning. when she gets another yellow card in the game the referee will show her the red one too and she is send off the field. plus she will not be allowed to play the next match. also if a player gets two yellow cards in two different games she will be barred from the next game.
so usa is one card ahead. and the swedes really want to win against korea. so probably the us girls will be first in their group (lets just hope they will not loose against nigeria) and we will not meet in the quarterfinal. so we don't have to kick you out, because TADAAH germany finished the first round as groupwinner (who told you so ... =D you are so right) we beat japan 2:0 today, and because england won over argentina 6:1 (yay, argentina finally scored!!! and they scored with one girl less, because one player had to leave the field after been shown the second yellow card, double yay (not because of the foul, because of scoring short-handed silly))

anyway, the us girls will probably meet england in the next round =D tea party =D and we'll get korea or sweden ... i cross my fingers for the swedes, just visual reasons ;D

I learn so much when I visit your blog.
If I hand you a red card it will most likely have a tiny heart on it........and yes it means I want you to meet me on the sidelines ;D

Thanks for the update and explanation of the yellow card system. That always confused me, although I did know a red card means you're out. I watched the Germany vs. Japan match yesterday on live stats. I was disappointed I couldn't get video, though.
