WORLD CUP STARTS TOMORROW!!!

YYIIPPEE!!

And I presume that no one else cares except me. :(
U.S. plays Monday and they had better win (even though

they are playing the #2 seed) but no one else probably
cares about that either. How sad that we must live in the
only country in the world who does not love soccer.

I'M BORED!! (maybe I'll go do a summer assignment...)

I care.

I'm excited; although I probably won't follow the cup extremely closely, the games are always fun to watch.

USA should make it to the next round, I think. Shame how we're ranked fifth in the world, but are not predicted to make it out of the first round.

I can't wait until kickoff tomorrow...I'll be watching at least part of that game.

Don't do summer homework! You heard Mr. Conlee--wait until August!

kelly,
you know I care
ive already got my wall chart bracket printed out

jake said...

and colin, they aren't predicted out of the first round because they got frikin itally and the Czech Republic in their group. which is rediculous

Colin. said...

Jake, I am aware of that.

But I still predict the U.S. getting out of round one.

yay soccer! i only care if hooligans are involved though. or marching bands. and seeing as how soccer doesn't involve marching bands, i'm not as enthused as i could be

jake said...

it does involve giant bass drums if that counts

Kevin said...

I care about soccer. I'm rooting for Italy.

My heart dropped when I looked at the bracket in the newspaper to discover that Italy and the U.S. are in the same group for the first round. But there is nothing I can do about it; Italy's my team and I have to stick with them. Italy plays the U.S. on June 17th.

jake said...

italy doesn't have anyone besides totti though....

Kevin said...

It's a one man team? I'm sure they've got other players. And those players will pwn all the other soccer n00bz.

jake said...

ok. their only good player is totti and he's just back from an injury

jake said...

so the goal in the 6th minute of the germany came was just about as perfectly placed as possible

Brian said...

yeah, that goal was sick

Haha, I care! I love watching the World cup. I'm sure that you guys didn't expect that from me though...

Brian said...

i would have never thought to put you and soccer together...

Kevin said...

Brian... she plays soccer.

Brian said...

kevin, i know that, its called sarcasm if u didnt pick up on it

Kevin said...

Nooooo!

USA lost, 0-3 to the Czechs.

Brian said...

yeah, the game was a dissapointment, we just need to give more of an effort and hopefully we'll pull out two wins

jake said...

5 words. Where the hell was donovan?

Kevin said...

There was someone there named Donovan, though I'm not entirely convinced it's the same one we thought would show up.

Anonymous said...

Donovan, Beasley, McBride, Onweyu- none of them showed up. That was a very crappy game. If they don't beat Italy, its all over.

But the Aussies played awesome if anyone saw that game.

jake said...

i wouldn't blame mcbride. he didn't get the ball cuz everyone else was sucking

Kevin said...

I saw the Aussie game. Three goals in 6 minutes? That's amazing.

Anonymous said...

I wouldn't blame McBride either necessarily- Im sure he will still start against Italy. The Brazilians didnt look all that good, which was surprising and Ronaldo just plain out sucked.

Italy tomorrow! I hope USA wins. If they play well they should, but you never know...
