World Cup Is Finally Here

[TheTastyGreek]

I managed to watch seven and a half minutes. It's a new record.

Just changed the channel.

Someone let me know if/when Greece has a televised game so I'll know to grab a book or magazine and have it on in the background in case anything happens.

Hey. Shut up.

Ugh, when the Greeks play it will be the most boring games of the tournament.

But since you asked...

Hey. Shut up.

No you shut up.

[Censored by Laurie]

No you shut up.

Make me.

[Green P1]

Make me.

You'd like that wouldn't you?

[Censored by Laurie]

You'd like that wouldn't you?

Prove it.

[Green P1]

Prove it.

Now you're just being childish.

I do find it cool that Socrates used his head. What dialogue!

While it was a very "soft" goal to give up by Green, it resulted in a good start for the US team in the World Cup. US should be favored to win over Serbia, but Serbia did beat Algeria 1-0 to lead the group at the current time. The Algerian 'keeper was also beaten on the Serbian goal, and should have made that save. It ruined a great "0-0" possibility which would have definitely helped the US.

Next game against Serbia Friday...USA...USA...USA!!!!

BTW, TV ratings in the US are way up over the 2006 World Cup ratings. Good news for futbol fans everywhere!

Still think it will be England and the US advancing from the group.

Substitute any "Serbia" above with "Slovenia". Serbia is in Group D with Germany.

And KRAM tries to pass himself off as a soccer fan.

I'll trust that ESPN can put together a good highlight reel. Based on what I saw, they'd have enough material for a 1 minute segment; 2 minutes if they show more than 1 camera angle of the same 2 plays.

You need to pull the vuvuzela out of your rear end and cheer for the 'Mericans! USA USA USA!!

Do I have to watch in order to do that? I want us to win, but I just don't care to see us do it.

So very sorry.....lost my head there for a moment. "Serbia/Slovenia" .... my mistake.

Haha. What we could do is just add Slovakia into the mix and start referring to them collectively as the "assorted Eastern European Nations that start with S." That's a little more typing though...

Come on KRAM, fess up, you were watching a baseball game while posting!

No, actually, I was wide awake...I didn't need anything like a baseball game to put me to sleep. Just "confused" my Eastern Europeans a good bit. Hard to tell them apart without a scorecard these days!

At least confuse Slovakia and Slovenia. the Slovenes would not like being confused with their former Serb masters! LOL

Oh boy... In the first shocker of the tourney:

Spain 0

Switzerland 1

This should serve as a wake up call for Spain. Maybe?
