World Cup!

I'm looking forward to following it, as well as rooting for the good ol' U.S. of A. during the next few weeks.

I'm not looking forward to listening to soccer snobs lament how far behind we back'ards, provincial 'Mercans are because we don't get as fanatical about it as the whole rest of the world and we pay so much more attention to baseball and football. Nor am I looking forwards to the drop-of-a-hat correcting lectures that tell me the whole rest of the world calls it football while we back'ards, provincial 'Mercans insist on saying "soccer."

Just pipe down and let me watch the game, twinkletoes. This thing doesn't happen all the time and I don't want to miss it.
