Woo hoo! Those of us who are soccer-mad are thrilled the day has dawned...just a little more than an hour away.

(The upshot is we raised over $150 for a foodbank from our soccer pool.)

Soccer? Is that some kind of sport or something?

Now if we can precisely guide two 500 lb bombs and take out that murdering scumbag Zarqawi, we OUGHT to be able to zero in on that nutbar Iranian fuehrer Amadjihad if he shows up to cheer on Iran's team this year.

And before the unsportsmanship calls get started, knowing what we know now, is there anyone who would NOT have supported the assignment of U.S./U.K. snipers at the 1936 Olympics where Herr Hitler (that *other* fuehrer) was standing around observing the festivities? ;)

I am currently working on an essay for the Smoky Backroom. I hope to have it done before the Germans kick-off. It will serve as a generic response to the inevitable "soccer is ghey" comments. I will post a link to it here, and encourage everyone to use it as a reply to the trolls instead of getting into the usual BS tit-for-tat.

There's something sadistic about a game which is centered around getting the ball into the goal, but you can't use your hands or arms.

In fact, studies show that playing soccer for long periods of time is enough to cause mental disorders due to overwhelming frustration it causes players.

Why do you think the rest of the world is going boizy-quackers while the United States consistently remains the most productive and prosperous country in the world.

I would love to see the Ticos win today.

But I also like Jurgen Klinsman, he is a good guy, and he has helped out the American teams since he moved to LA>

Game on!

I don't have many channels on my TV. So I have to watch the game in Spanish. Oh well, still much better than watching nothing.

I think it was on ESPN. ABC will carry the weekend games live. I missed the opening day game on Spanish TV because my UHF booster wasn't plugged in.
