Football

The FIFA World Cup is in full swing, as two teams have already been eliminated: Cameroon and Ivory Coast(Cote di Ivoire), and the host country, South Africa(RSA) not even equipped to ride the emotional high of their beloved country. Ivory Coast, although eliminated in a 3-1 romping of Brassil(yes this is the international way of saying it, not all about the U.S), the team became the first African Nation to score a goal against the Brassilian National Team in the World Cup, so cudos there. With African teams falling short left and right, the host nation has their heads down with the lingering question: What happened? They still have Algeria, who has only surrendered a single goal against Slovenia and held an English team to a scoreless draw, with the U.S waiting in the wings. So there is still hope for the host nation yet.

Asia has made some noise with the stellar defense of the People's Republic of Korea against Brassil, which is the number one team in the world(again). That game grew into a small scoring fest with two quick goals by Brassil in the latter part of the second half before North Korea scored a beautiful run. They were revered by apparent Chinese fans playing as North Korean fans, which is a living testament to how underdeveloped this nation has become. South Korea(the free part of the country) put on a clinic with a 2-0 thrashing of Greece in its opening game before being dismantled by Argentina, 3-1. Too bad, they looked like a team of destiny.

As usual the South American teams are thriving in this international display of sheer will. Brassil, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay(probably the weakest of the continent), with the surprise of Honduras and Chile with a somewhat stiff defense. The only thing to report here is how far will this region go.

Dominicanos son ok, pero nesecitan mas practicado. With a couple of years, and hopefully great reproduction, they will get a taste of success in the next years.

Europe is a mixture. You have Portugal, with an average team and a whinny "superstar" in Ronaldo. Such a waste of talent if all you do is flop all over the fucking field, and try to get big AFTER your teammate came to your rescue against an Ivory Coast player after calling you out on your pussy playing, excuse my language. England has two draws: One with U.S. and one with Algeria. Slovenia has a large mouth, and with the help of that African referee, was able to back it up. Greece is coming along for it's first World Cup goal and all. Of course you have Spain(can you say UPSET???), Germany(can not hold momentum after 4-0 kill of the Aussies), the Dutch(great play) and Danes(not so much) and Suiza or Switzerland(beautiful upset of the Spaniards). France is just fucking up on such a grand scale(this is my team so I am highly pissed. FIND THE FUCKING RAT AND PRACTICE DAMMIT!!!), and Italy(the old guys are losing it's luster with a tie with the Kiwis).

Down Under was looking dismal with the first outing of Australia against Germany, losing 0-4. But was redeemed with the draw of the New Zealanders, and later the 1-1 draw with Italy, such a historic achievement for a relatively unknown country on the international football scene. We will see what unfolds.

Now the U.S.
1-1 draw with the English, our former slave-owners, no puns please!!! The muffed goal seen around the world by Green helped our chances, thanks in part to Clint Dempsey's powerful leg---let me get off or him now before I never do. Second match against the trash talking Slovenia. HORRIFIC first half of football. SUCH an improbable comeback and "should have been win" if it were not for an unexplained "foul" on Edu. WHAT THE FUCK SON???

All in all, great cup thus far, full of upsets and great finishes. GIVE IT UP FOR THE NEW BALL CREATING DEFENSE!!!
