The World Cup Becomes the Euro Cup!!

The storms are brewing in the southeast but it's still muggy and warm here on the northeast side of Richmond. A breeze on a dog walk earlier today was the first refreshing air I've felt in awhile but there is more on the way...once the cold front passes through. A cool, dry weekend is in the forecast; not often Canadian air makes it to Va. in July. Tropical Storm Beryl is building out in the Atlantic and there were fireworks in Russia today.
France scored early against Uruguay as did Belgium twice against Brazil. A hammered, knuckling ball that was mishandled by the Uruguay keeper had them hanging their heads and France rolled. Not so in the B & B match, Brazil scored with 15ish minutes to go and kept up a barrage against the Red Devils but could never find the equalizer. Both matches were fun to watch, not too brutal or too many dives and some amazing futbol. But, that leaves only European teams in the "World" Cup, 2 more go away tomorrow but it doesn't matter who wins -  the semis will be all Euro. I will be watching, won't happen again for 4 years...
Radar seems to indicate storms will likely miss the tirehouse and my sister's. Maybe time to take a large brown dog on another walk...always a good move to take a walk, Today On Earth.
A quick equake check...a 6.1 quake at the southern end of the Kamchatka peninsula is a big shake...but no one lives there and likely the bears don't mind. Still 100's in Hawaii and more eruptions, pretty standard for the wild third rock out from the sun. Enjoy.
