World Cup 2014

As most of you know Gisela was born in Germany. In the spa resort Baden Baden. Over the years both Oliver and Michael ( the son!) became avid sports fans! If it was an International game / match they would support England ( for "Dad") or Germany (for "Mum").
When in 1986 we were all in Montreal for Omi 1's "80 th" the World Cup saw England v/s Argentina the infamous "Hand of God Goal" by Maradonna---England lost!
Since then we "all" have become American Citizens and our allegiance in the main has been to support the USA.
For this 2014 World Cup all three teams were "in". At the Group Level we were all three Barron men at the England game. SAD! Good game they lost; we had fun. Both England and the US went "home" BUT Germany thrashed Brazil and Dad and "Ollie" watched the FINAL against that same dreaded Argentina. No  Maradonna but Messi 4 times voted the Worlds Best Player leading them.
A truly great game
Gisela was at home. Oh by the way a little bruising but no other ill effects from Chemo 2
