The greatest sporting event in the world starts in 10 days. I normally am a big fan of the USA, but I don't think they are as strong as they were in the last two. However, I don't think Italy will qualify from their group either, Italian soccer is currently in the grip of a corruption scandal. Who would have thought it in a country where Silvio Berlusconi was president and is the owner of one of their top teams? England are FARGED. Our strikers consist of an injured guy, someone who has started one game this year, a 6ft 7in beanpole freak who doesn't score goals and a 17-year-old who hasn't played in the Premier League before and who the England manager has NEVER SEEN PLAY! And we are supposed to be SECOND FAVORITES! Holland to beat Brazil in the final.

I can't wait for all the games to start. I've gotta start getting to know the U.S television schedule. If it is one of my "cable packages" I'll settle for reading about it in the paper.

I will watch USA, but don't have the attention span to watch other games. I'm also rooting for the small African countries to do well, mostly because I don't like any European countries outside of Amsterdam.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

It is good to see you smashing the stereotype of the insular American.

in case anybody else wasn't sure...

insular:

   1. Of, relating to, or constituting an island.
   2. Living or located on an island.

   1. Suggestive of the isolated life of an island: "He is an exceedingly insular man, so deeply private as to seem inaccessible to the scrutiny of a novelist" (Leonard Michaels).
   2. Circumscribed and detached in outlook and experience; narrow or provincial.

Considering he's Jewish, that would be both ironic and extremely hilarious.

Either way, I'd laugh.

MDS

No, I just dont like anyone.
