FIFA 2014 World Cup - Official Discussion Thread

[DemPGH]

I actually want to start watching soccer because of people like Coulter. Anyway, they're pushing the World Cup and soccer generally on TV. There's a commercial where a hot Brazilian (I presume) lady in a sleek dress and heels with a soccer ball walks up to some average American dudes in a variety of settings and says in her sexy accent, "Futbol." Then she gets in a sports car and drives away. Okay!

Keith Olbermann had some good tongue in cheek satirical commentary on the World Cup on ESPN2, which I found funny. I caught it last night. It went like, "Se we lost a game and tied a game and now we advance. Why? Oh, because soccer. Well how many games do we have to lose or tie before we win the World Cup?" Haha.

In that spirit, I read that we will be playing Belgium, I think, next. And after about 170 minutes and a 1-0 score, or maybe a 0-0 score, it will be decided that Belgium won and I HOPE that our farcical participation in the World Cup will come to a merciful end at that point, finally. And then France or Germany or Argentina or somebody can win the World Cup after a 0-0 championship game. Yay!
