World Cup 2010

[thrill]

[expletive]'s going crazy. Didier Drogba out for the World Cup with a broken arm. The most important and famous sportsmen in Africa is out of the most important sporting event in Africa's history because some Japanese guy threw in a reckless tackle in a tune-up friendly.

Also, England Captain Rio Ferdinand has been ruled out for the Cup.

Some big stars missing. The winners in all this are Portugal who should get out of the group with Brazil now at Ivory Coast's expense.

They predict spain to win; US to finish 2nd to England and getted ousted by Germany on PK's. Seems kind of like a computer simulation of what everything this is likely to happen...

Drogba came out and said he's going to have surgery on his broken elbow and try to play within 10 days.

At our work, one of our managers is the resident thrill. At least in attitude - he's an enormous college football fanatic, and is throwing months of waiting for that to start back up into excitement over the World Cup. He's decorated our schedule for the week with American flags and changed all our last names to USA roster players. It's entertaining.

He doesn't really know much at all about the team, though. I shamelessly copy/pasted thrill's awesome write-up in an email to him, and he was super pumped up about it.

Anyway, I requested off that Saturday for the game, and he gave it to me instead of a girl that wanted to visit her family out of town. There's much drama because of this. But damnit, i want to watch the game.

US chances next Saturday a little better. Ferdinand is out.
The US all ready should have been able to net 1 versus England. So, they might be able to net the 2nd they'll likely need.
The issue is how many are Rooney, Gerrard, Cole, and Lampard going to get?

4-3 England.
Rooney 2, Lampard and Crouch.
Dempsey, Donovan (pk) and Bradley.

Why do you hate America?
