WC2010: Day One

It has already begun.  There will be madness, football, and football madness.  BRB  *doing Snoopy Dance*


Allora:  Bafana Banafa and El Tri.  Will be wearing both scarves when The Man gets home and we are allowed to partake of the DVR.

Oggi piu tardi:  Uruguay and Les Bleues.  South Amercian Serie A greatness (and Edison Cavani.  yawn) and the glorious Diego Forlan versus les francais du scandale, Franck (for underage whoring), Yoan Gourcuff (for improbably feminine eyelashes and perfect skin), and Thierry Henry (for cheating), not to mention evil coach Domenech, who relies a leetle too heavily on astrology for his coaching methods.  Was it Scorpios he refused to call up, or was it Tauri?  (It was Scorpios.)

Big Game Domani:  Unless you're dead or live off-grid like the Unabomber, you already know: The Three Lions and the USMNT.  I have a lot of, um, "issues" with certain sworn enemies of mine on both teams.  I've been promising not to support the USMNT, but on the other hand, it would be greatly satisfying to watch the arrogant English go down.  I spose in the end I am rooting for a good game with lots of excitement and manly, honorable competition.  I will make no predictions, but I will refer you to these guys , especially the Canadian one who cannot find a market for his beaver pelts, for the highlights of the various predictions.  My personal favorite, however, is "Landon Donovan's" prediction that the USMNT will win because the English are "weak sauce."

Come on over whenever you want, but please bring vino (you know what kinds we like).  Beer's good too.

I dig the Canadian and his suggestion that Rooney make the wise tactical decision to use Quebecois swear words that nobody knows outside of Trois Rivieres. Also, what kind of high CAN you get smoking vulture brains? Sounds gnarly.....

"Hand of clod?" Sigh.
