(I will, however, provide running updates as I follow the games on television. World soccer is much better than CNN or any other news channel, and no commercials during the game. Playing national anthems right now)
So which lucky nations take the field of PLAY today?
It's Dutch vs. Danes in the first match.
"Separatist party wins big in Belgian election" by Robert Wielaard, Associated Press | June 14, 2010
BRUSSELS — A separatist party that advocates independence for the Dutch-speaking region of Belgium, leaving the country’s French speakers to fend for themselves, pulled off an unprecedented win in yesterday’s general election....
They were not drinking tea, where they?
My political philosophy is simple: LOCAL, LOCAL, LOCAL!
The MORE LOCAL the BETTER!
As WE HAVE SEEN THROUGHOUT HISTORY -- AmeriKa being the latest example -- CENTRALIZATION of POWER and attempts at GLOBAL GOVERNMENT are TYRANNICAL and DOOMED to FAILURE!
The outcome was seen as a warning to Francophone politicians to negotiate seriously about granting Dutch- and French-speakers more self rule, or Dutch-speakers will opt for independence.
The New Flemish Alliance drew votes away from Premier Yves Leterme’s outgoing coalition of Christian Democrats, Liberals, and Socialists, whose three years in office were marked by linguistic spats that remained unresolved.
If THEY CAN'T GET TOGETHER and SOLVE THAT then BOTH SIDES SHOULD GO their SEPARATE WAYS!!
The Alliance’s success marks the first time a Flemish nationalist movement overtook traditional parties with an agenda to break up Belgium, which became independent from the Netherlands in 1830....
I'm getting the feeling the MSM press of AmeriKa disapproves of the results (as they have so often).
Just about everything in the country — from political parties to broadcasters to boy scouts and voting ballots — comes in Dutch- and French-speaking versions.
Oh, like the bi-lingual English and Spanish you see all over AmeriKa.
I mean, I could care less.
It's the New World Order aspect I don't like of the whole thing, and I'm not so arrogant to think that the "foreigners" are "talking about me."
And if they are, so what? Who cares? I have a life to lead.
Even charities such as the Red Cross and Amnesty International have separate chapters....
But you know what is the REAL PROBLEM in Belgium?
That's right, the BURQA!!
Can't we all get along?

Globe prediction: Netherlands, 1-0.
Second match is Japan against Cameroon:
TOKYO — Japan could face a financial crisis of Greek proportions if it does not tackle its huge debt, the nation’s new prime minister said yesterday, signaling a renewed focus on rebuilding Tokyo’s finances amid global jitters over national balance sheets.
Doesn't that seem to BE the CASE with EVERY GOVERNMENT these days, readers (because it is)?
The New World Order bankers screwed us all real good, didn't they?
Prime Minister Naoto Kan’s warning came hours after the resignation of his banking minister and coalition ally, Shizuka Kamei — an advocate of big spending. Kamei’s departure seemed to increase the new government’s chances of fiscal changes.
Yes, GOVERNMENTS MUST SERVE BANKERS and SERVICE DEBT FIRST!

He knows!!
“It is difficult to sustain a policy that relies too heavily on issuing debt,’’ Kan told the Japanese Parliament in his first policy speech. “As we have seen with the financial confusion in the European community stemming from Greece, our finances could collapse if trust in bonds is lost and growing debt is left alone.’’
Hellooooooooo, AmeriKa!!!!!!
Worried by the Greek debt crisis, policy makers around the world have increasingly raised the alarm over runaway government spending of the past two years, as the world has grappled with an economic crisis.
Then KNOCK of the BANKRUPTING WARS and OCCUPATIONS of EMPIRE!!!!!!!
Oh, right, borrow and go in to debt to fight 'em to the same bankers that demand repayment of..... when are these guys facing that French contraption anyway?
Earlier this week, Ben S. Bernanke, the US Federal Reserve chairman, warned that the US government’s budget appeared to be on “an unsustainable path,’’ while also recognizing that an “exceptional increase’’ in the deficit had been necessary to ease the pain of recession....
Yeah, thanks to you and yours, Benny!
And we are still in a DEPRESSION, you s***!
Some analysts say that Japan must start paring down its debt or face rising market concerns....
"Market concerns" is just a fancy way of saying globalist banking scums.
They are ALWAYS FIRST in LINE and WAY MORE IMPORTANT than YOU, citizen!!
Think about it: government gives them a blow-job (with your taxpayer dime) and then turns around a screws same said taxpayer in the you-know-where, world.
Kan, who took the helm after his predecessor stepped down this month, envisions raising taxes and investing heavily in new fields like health and the environment, a move he says will create jobs, raise incomes, and ultimately bring about economic growth.
That FIRST PART is all right; however, if you don't kick that second ideas cash back into selected and favored interests forget it.
In his speech, Kan called for a bipartisan debate on raising the 5 percent sales tax to help fund soaring social welfare costs brought on by the country’s aging society....
Which is being sent back into the workforce.

And notice how that MSM-framed issue has totally eliminated the debt payments to banks?
They have turned it -- once again, just as the Globe does locally -- into a raise taxes and slash services is the only solution situation so the BANKS can GET PAID!
Yeah, we know whom you work for, Glob: banks, corporations, war-looters, and above all, Israel.

"Explosions at Kenya rally kill 5, wound 75" by Associated Press | June 14, 2010
NAIROBI — Two explosions ripped through a park in Kenya’s capital during a packed political rally late yesterday, killing five people and wounding 75, officials said.
The rally was held to protest a draft constitution the country will vote on in August. The country’s president and prime minister support it, but several prominent political leaders do not.
Uh-oh!
“I want to say clearly that the government will do everything possible to get to the root of this incident. We must condemn this,’’ Prime Minister Raila Odinga said....
I'm sorry, but WHEN GOVERNMENT TALKS THAT WAY I smell an AWFUL STINK!!!
CUI BONO?
The campaign against the draft constitution opposes a clause that would allow abortion to save a mother’s life. Opponents also don’t like a clause that would recognize informal courts used by Kenya’s Islamic community.
The government is capitulating to murderers and terrorists?
A prominent backer of the campaign against the draft, William Ruto, the minister of higher education, called the attack “the darkest hour of our nation.’’
Really?
