After thinking about it for a few I have decided to add a new category to my blog. Once in a while I write and have written about the technology in my life such as my G1, my blog editor, internet explorer 8, my laptop Sunshine so a technology category makes perfect sense if you ask me. So if you check the categories you will find a brand new one, I went through all my post and categorized the relevant ones accordingly, enjoy.

The final four start the hunt for the finals on Tuesday with the Uruguay vs. the Netherlands game and on Wednesday Germany vs. Spain, check your local listings for times.
The Semifinals were unforgettable to say the least starting with the game between Uruguay and Ghana that I will not forget for a long time thanks to a hand ball. Close game that Ghana was going to win at the last minute if only they had made that penalty but it didn’t happen, that Budweiser ad has really made quite an impression during penalties, the rest as they say is history.
I didn’t expect the Netherlands to beat Brazil but they did and so the five time champion is back home watching the action instead of being in it.
I expected the game between Argentina and Germany to be closer but that wasn’t the case. It was a trashing that Argentina won’t forget for a long time.
The Paraguay vs. Spain game was close and Paraguay could have won it if it had not been for that Budweiser commercial showing up again to mess things up again during a penalty kick but when all was said and done Spain made it to the big party.

I have been watching the World Cup since the beginning last June 11th and with that came the ads, yes the ads. To be honest, I don’t remember that many previous good World Cup ads but that is not the point here people. The point is that you and me want to be entertained at halftime, right?. So far the ads this WC have been quite disappointing.
The Nike ads, have been lame, not entertaining at all. The Adidas ads have been just as lame, yes, even that Star Wars ad, disappointed again. The Coca Cola ad, well, if you don’t have anything good to say about someone you better not say anything. The only good and funny ad is the one from Budweiser, I won’t describe it here but if you want to see it just head on over to YouTube.
For the record, that is exactly what happened to the Ghana player when he took that penalty kick against Uruguay earlier today, that was a Déjà vu moment. Come on now advertisers, this is the biggest sporting event in the whole universe and this is the best you can do.
