But I must commend their grit and offer you congratulations. They seem hopefully set up now to advance if they can keep it together. You do have a way of winning with your dark horse picks!Feldenstein Calypsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04896259011478481374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1982462977744808678.post-71560309605528841602018-06-17T20:12:15.458-07:002018-06-17T20:12:15.458-07:00I cannot provide an informed dissertation on socce...I cannot provide an informed dissertation on soccer, but I certainly enjoyed cheering on my team (Switzerland!) today. I had my eyes glued to the television at one end of the bar (yes, I ventured out to a drinking establishment to view the game) while Switzerland battled it out with Brazil. My husband, on the other hand, was extremely involved in the outcome of the U.S. Open which was being shown on the t.v. at the other end of the bar. In addition to the World Cup and PGA coverage, I was keeping tabs on the Milwaukee Brewers game on my phone while my sports-minded spouse was following the MN Twins game on his phone. So you are correct - your co-workers have an unusually strong interest in sports and apparently love a bit of wagering. (And by the way, my favorite NFL team will be playing its first regular season game in a mere 12 weeks. Hurrah!)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18312844301995827714noreply@blogger.com
