Also fuck, USA.

Also fuck, USA. And England.

Eh, I liked watching England blow it.

The Germans looked like a bunch of uncoordinated thugs when they played.  I'm glad they lost.  I hope they lose at the group stage in the next World Cup. 

Spain is fun to watch, so at least the final will be good.

 If you really want to World Cupify this forum, we need a vuvuzula button like YouTube has.

I'm supporting the Dutch, Orange solidarity and all...

Its just like 1692 all over again, 'cept instead of William Of Orange's army there's the Dutch football team, and instead of Jacobite rabble theres the Spanish football team.

From an entertaining sport to a stupid, boring one: I think it's funny that Lebron James took out an hour of TV time to celebrate his own ego and jilt the city of Cleveland.  I hope he dies soon.

I think he should have joined the Bulls

I actually don't care where he went, I only care that his ego is so large that he thought he needed a 1 hour TV special to talk about it and celebrate himself.

I was just thinking about this - compared with the other stupid shit basketball stars do, this is so utterly harmless I'm surprised people are so upset. Kobe raped a chick, Arenas pulled a gun in his locker-room, LeBron wasn't humble all the time.....

That's actually a reason commentators frequently point to when discussing the decline of the NBA.  Viewership has been in pretty sharp decline in no small part to many of the players being very public dicks.

The NBA only pops up on my radar when someone is in the news for being a dick.

I bet she's been the spit roast between a dude and crack pipe many, many, many times.

Also, the octopus picked Spain: http://msn.foxsports.com/foxsoccer/worldcup/story/Octopus-oracle-picks-Spain-to-win-World-Cup?gt1=39011

Damn...

Maybe the Jacobites will get one back.

Why does everyone care so much this year?
(... and I mean everywhere, not just on here)

It's because of that fucking octopus

But she says "No No No "

Makes sense ....

Hmmm .....

I am following more closely this time because:

1.  I followed loosely last time and like what bits I did watch.

2.  I have a desk job.  World Cup games come on when I'm at work.  Streaming video makes work slightly less mind numbing.

Makes sense ....

Garbage is available so I'm helpless.

Fucking JackWagons

Octopus continues its perfect record.

Too bad it'll be dead before the next world cup.

I've seen it mentioned in two completely different places so it's a bit of an obvious and tired joke already, but I smiled at the idea of celebrating the octopus as a paella ingredient.

It's a misplaced joke since the Spanish stole Paella from the Portuguese and they didn't win shit.

I don't get it.

NM. It was the subject of a Seinfeld episode.

I fail to see what was funny about Seinfeld, the man or the show.
