World Cup 2010

I don't see how we can lose tonight. In the slight chance we win, we can rub it in England's faces. In case of a more likely loss, we can remind them that we don't care.

Another good guide for beginners like myself:

"This Midfielder was rolling around on the ground in pain for 15 minutes but is now running around all over the place."

i'm casually watching the game while cleaning house. Seems like Nigeria is abusing Messi. Can't blame them, really.

To be fair both teams are abusing. I'm pretty sure I see white powder all over Maradona's bloodshot face.

I snickered while reading the first paragraph of this ESPN Blog explaining the chances of a Yanks win today because of this line:

We've hoisted brews in Bratislava, eaten greens in Amsterdam, and inhaled cheese steaks in Philadelphia.

Eaten greens in Amsterdam, eh? I don't think he was talking about salad. A veiled spacecakes reference on ESPN.com! Ha ha!

In this diagram you'll see we play close to a traditional "bucket" 4-4-2. It's called a bucket because it's shaped like a bucket with a handle.

Uh yeah, sure. And here is the picture book of greek mythology.

Makes sense to me. Makes more sense as a label than Nickel, Dime, and Quarter formations.

I'm color blind so I just see a mash of dots.

What channel is the game on? It's not on that damn Versus network, is it?

ABC.

Headed off for my first Saturday off in months. Two deep already! It's gonna be a fun day, even if we lose 3-1 like I pessimistically think we will. Then again, I also optimistically think we are going to upset them 2-1.

Only surprise in the starting lineup is Findley up top. I probably would have prefered Buddle.

That said, Findley has had a lot of chances lately. Just hasn't finished them. IF he can continue to get opportunities and IF he can finally finish them, then he might be the right start. Two big IF's in that statement, though. I think he would be better coming off the bench, personally, when the defenders are worn down a little. His speed would be better served then.
