Subject: footie corner
Original Message Date: 02-Jun-10 @ 07:41 PM Edit: 02-Jun-10 | 07:42 PM - footie corner
it's a sad day in hell when an american is the first to put up the footie corner in anticipation of the
world cup.
germany has a hurdle right off with the loss of Michael Ballack. that seems to be the
common thinking. i think they'll do well though. i was happy to see there are 5 players from
Bayern München on the team.
i had a dream last night that my dad asked me who was going to win the world cup and i told
him italy. don't bet on it though. 2 weeks ago i had a dream milla jovovich seduced me and we
had unbridled sex. i'm still waiting. she probably wrote my address down wrong so don't be
surprised if the italian team doesn't find the stadium.

Well so far it hasnt exactly been an entertaining
world cup. Theres only been two occasions for me, Germany thrashing the Aussies and last
nights Uruguay v South Africa match. It was pure bliss to hear those fucking vuvuzelas being
silenced as their keeper got sent off and Uruguay went 2-0 up.
i have to say I enjoyed watching Switzerland beat Spain. these vuvuzelas are the most annoying
things. all game long, every game. yesterday i walked past a hornets nest and a world cup
game broke out.
i'm enjoying the world cup so much i'm going to recommend that there be 11 players per team
in hockey games.

be a challenge for announcers. still, i'm watching Cameroon vs. Denmark. at about 27 minutes into
the game with Cameroon leading 1-0 was it really necessary for one of the announcers to say,
"that's the beautiful thing about this game. it's not over until the final whistle is blown." i guess that
statement could be taken as taking a jab at golf and tennis since whistles aren't used in golf and
tennis but it probably wasn't. pretty much no game is over until the final whistle is blown and when
it was 1-0 there was almost the entire game yet to be played. had it been 20-1 i could see the
announcer making his statement in an attempt to keep people tuned in.
there was a thread a year or two ago about the dumb things sport announcers, coaches, and
players say but i couldn't find it.
"what's your strategy going to be today?"
"if we're going to win this game we have to put some points on the board and keep them from
putting points on the board. if we can do that we'll have a pretty good chance of coming away with
a win today."
no wonder a newcomer who heard that question/answer will at some point say, "i don't understand
this game". of course he doesn't. the game's 1/2 over and he's still trying to figure out how a team
that puts points on the board and doesn't allow the other team to put points on the board could
possibly lose. still, we love our sports.
or there's this one. score: 1-1.
announcer 1: "oooooooh the ball went off the post! that was almost a goal! that was a missed
opportunity there."
announcer 2: "you're absolutely right. if that one had gone in we'd be looking at a 2 to 1 game right
now."
it's enough to make me want them to turn the vuvuzelas up.

seen on the three stooges. for example, pulling out a yellow card might result in the referee
getting a pie in the face, unless he ducks in which case the pie might hit a manager on the
sideline, a stiker, or even a goalkeeper. nobody would be immune and there are almost endless
possibilities.
announcer: "oh! and the slovakian goalkeeper just did a "see this?" "yeah" "look out for that" on
paraguay's striker."

3 college u.s. students invented a soccer ball that generates energy when played with. there is a
magnet that moves about inside the ball as it rolls and other components. it's waterproof and has a
small socket in which you can plug in a d.c. converter. it's called the socket. they plan on getting
these balls to African kids living in impoverished areas for starters. i think that was a brilliant idea.
the ball can power lights and what not.
i think fifa should start using the ball. here's how the announcers would respond:
"you can just feel the electricity on the field"
"mueller has the ball and he's bolting for the goal"
"as with any match, we've seen both positives and negatives here today"
"if you're new to the game you might be wondering why the ball is still sitting in the back of the goal.
it's known as charging the net"
"there are currently two balls on the field" "yup. they're playing with a lot of energy today"
"as we get a closeup up of the ball you see that logo there." "yes. it's a nice plug for Adidas
wouldn't you say?"
"and don't forget to go to our website at the end of the match and volt for the player of the game"
"the american is expected to feel at home and play well here. he normally plays for his nation's
capital, D.C. united"
"didn't that score looked effortless?" "yeah he sure made it look A.C."
"well, shock another win up for the brazilian team"
"under 5 minutes left in the game. it's coming right down to the wire!"

3rd goal against Slovakia. I didn't hear them complaining when Green scored their only goal for them
against England.
