The world cup started today. Sorry, I mean World Cup. It's the biggest sporting event in the world, and although "football is full of shit and tossers" (per an English acquaintance of mine), it's still compelling viewing.
Bonus this year is that all the matches are streamed live on the intarnetweb, so if you have an internet connection you can watch the games live. Sweet deal. Or you can watch replays, if you don't want to get up at 4 AM PDT for the early games. It's on ESPN3, which means we're 3/8ths of the way to The Ocho.
Unrelated: That trophy is ugly.
Big USA v. England game tomorrow. I predicted that team USA would get their ass kicked 3-0. It's not that England is that good, it's that I think the USA team is that bad. Seriously. People might point to the fact that South Africa got a result against Mexico today as encouraging, but no one on the US squad can score a goal like Tshabalala (sp?) did. That was siiiiiiiiiick. And set pieces? pfffffft. I would really like to be wrong though. That would make me happy.
