Ticket update
Another day has passed and I am still without tickets. I have no officially moved from hopeful to doubtful that our tickets will ever arrive. I'm still not 100 percent convinced that it was an out-and-out scam, but it still looks like we'll be without World Cup tickets when we leave town on Friday.
I have taken this much easier than my wife, Jeovana. While we both understood the risks inherent in sending money to someone an ocean away, I think she had her heart set on attending a game more than I did. For me, this trip was always about going to Europe first and attending a game second. What can I say? Snakes on a plane, that's what. Jeovana, though, seems intent on exacting some revenge on our English "business" partner, regardless of his original intentions. To her, not getting the tickets because of circumstances is only slightly better than not getting them because we have been scammed. I just hope that he refunds our money if we don't get our tickets. In other news, I will be drafting No. 4 in our World Cup team draft. By my estimation, that's a pretty solid spot to pick with the Nos. 2 and 3 probably being the worst because of the snaking nature of the draft (I can tell your eyes just glossed over, though, so I'm going to go ahead and end this.) posted by FreeSanJose at 6:35 PM
