If there weren't penalty kicks, would some of these games take, oh i don't know, about 3 days to complete?

Funny moment I recently heard on local sports talk radio in Sacramento: the host stopped the normal call in-show and said "folks, we've got some breaking news that's pretty stunning: (preganat pause) apparently somebody has scored a goal in the World Cup."

What other sport could make you long to watch baseball on television? It is appropriate that, generally speaking, only third world ghetto dwellers and socialist idiots care about this crap.

Oh, and what is the deal with all these fucking pussies acting like they have been shot everytime somebody touches them?

Yeah, well the Gomba that Zizou headbutted in the chest didn't have to act; he was too busy trying to catch his breath.

That probably turned the tide in favor of Italia.

ABF!!! (Anybody but the Frogs)

The anti-international culture here is in keeping with the New American Century, but it seems obvious that document is now settled in the dustbin. GWB has been working more closely with, and, more importantly, winning the support of the leaders of other nations.

Once we see the rest of the world as peers instead of subjects, the sooner we'll fill in the hole we've been digging ourselves into.

uhhh, just cuz i think soccer is boring means i think the rest of the world are subjects?

alright, you got me there.

; )

Will, do you ever wake up in the morning and feel like you might take yourself too seriously?

oh yeah, i forgot to add... AMERICA RULES, SOCCER DROOLS!

That ought to get you in a real hissy...

Now me and my co-conspirators need to get going on our plans of world-domination. We will accomplish our evil goal by forcing every country in the world to participate in a mandatory badminton tournment every 4 four years. You think soccer turns dudes into raving pussies,wait til we stick a skinny little racquet in their hands and have them chasing around oddly shaped objects called shuttlecocks.

I'm assuming you are already clued into

I'm not jumping on you per se, but addressing many of the commenters who disparage anyone or anything that isn't from US (or doesn't walk in lockstep).

GWB has much more experience in world affairs now and, more importantly, it is beginning to show in words, actions, and preliminary results.

seriously, will, i was just making fun of soccer. i have no plans for world domination. i can't even get my girlfriend to listen to me.
