World Cup is Almost Here!
We are in the "Group of Death". It was bound to happen. We have been avoiding that group every draw. Every time this draw happens you get a group that is just stacked. Well, this year we go stuck in it. Below is a what you might call a briefing on the Cup or just some of my ranting. I am not sure which it is, probably ranting.This is going to be maybe the best Cup ever. I know most of you are bored by soccer (futbol) or just think it sucks. Just watch some on these games in June of 06, watch the fans, the players, the emotion. The entire world we will be watching, and for a good reason, great sport and the ability to be called the REAL WORLD CHAMPIONS. 500+ million watching for the final, maybe you can be 501 million if you just open you mind to things we (USA) are not he best at. Of course this is not meant for current fans. Rock on.Best Coverage SitesSoccernet Sky Sports Yahoo Official World Cup Site Printable Cup Draw QUICK FACT on the Group of Death (E) That difficulty is perhaps best illustrated by the fact that the United States have never beaten any of the three teams they have been drawn with. Furthermore, it is the only group at Germany 2006 with three contenders in the top 12 of the FIFA/Coca-Cola world ranking. (thanks to the official World Cup site)If we are to advance we need at least 2 wins. I think we can beat Italy and Ghana. The Czech's are playing incredible football right now. The led the European qualifying in goals scored. They have people with rockets for legs. See what freedom does for a county? They make great beer and play good futbol.Some of the other groups are just average at best. If we could have made it past group in e in out drawing and of the last three we would have gone to are better than what we got. I mean look at group G and H.....G (Group of Shit)France (players are too old)Switzerland (they make watches)South Korea (Getting better but they still eat dogs. I don't like that.)Togo (Please tell me where Togo is and name a player or citizen, anyone?)I still say this team will make some noise. Hell, if not for a handball by Germany we would have made the semis in '02. But that is how the game goes.This USA team is made of guys who know what to do to win. We don't have many or any world stars. These guys now what their role is on the field, they are learning not to press to hard in certain situations. I see the world game in their play over the past several years. They are learning and have a abundance of talent to pick from after watching the NCAA soccer final four today.I mean, people know who Landon Donavan is but he left Germany cause he was homesick. The German media and fans ate this up. Will this effect him in Germany next summer? After he got over that case of home sickness he has put together an incredible year. He lead the Galaxy to the first ever double of winning the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup and the MLs title. Get this, the MLS is ranked as a decent league in the world. I am not saying we are even close to any European league but they are starting to take notice. Wow, what a difference 10 years and tons of local US talent can do. Everywhere you look they are playing. You can't hide from it anymore. 350 million watched the drawing, only 3 million watch the NCAA selection show, and the super bowl doesn't even get that many.
Joe is gettin laid tonight!
PATERNOVILLE!
Happy Day, Happy Day! In the immortal words of Derek and the Domino's, "It's got to get better in a little while." Well, the letter I got from the NFL this morning will help a little. Quickie, since the Penn State game is on....I was picked out of a lottery of a million or more to buy two tickets to the SUPERBOWL!!! I know you are saying, oh you have to buy them? Yes I do, but the resale value is about 2000 a ticket. I am only paying 400 a pop. Chew on that one. If the Eagles make it I will be rocking the Motor City. Anyone want the other ticket if the Birds make it? I am sure there has to be someone who wants to go. *wink*
