I am watching soccer World Cup and it reminds me also at my first visit 2010 in The Villages. Right away we'd fall in love with the lifestyle in TV. And we didn't change in this case! Sorry, I have to return now to watch France vs Honduras.

2-1 in favor of US.

What are your predictions for today's US vs. Ghana soccer game?

I am going with 2-1. A score another guesser put up for the US narrowly beating Ghana. http://freepicks.picksandparlays.net...d-predictions/

I will have to do some research before that game. Injuries, weather, prior meetings, etc. http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/t...inst-portugal/

The US-Portugal soccer game is on June 22, 2014 at 6:00 PM. How many hours ahead of us is Brazil? https://www.google.com/webhp?sourcei...e=UTF-8#q=fifa

I believe Brasil is 2 hours ahead of US East Coast time.

It looks like 6 PM start time is East Coast time.

Some of it anyway. It is a huge country. The US-Portugal game is in Manaus. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manaus

chuckinca 06-17-2014 06:38 PM

Of the 12 World Cup venues only Cuiaba and Manaus are in time zone UTC-4 one hour ahead of US Eastern Time Zone. The other 10 are in UTC-3 two hours ahead of Eastern Time.

Spain out.
 
Shocking, early exit for Spain in World Cup*-*Los Angeles Times

Shocked that Spain's WC team is already out. Wonder how my Middlebrook Hall Spanish teacher friends are handling this defeat? I hung around with an international group of students while living in the dorm (Middlebrook Hall-- University of Minnesota) often. Two of these were women from Bilbao who were going to get MAs and then teach English to Spanish students back in Bilbao. http://www.spain.info/en/que-quieres...es/bilbao.html Nice very Catholic ladies.
