World Cup 2006

It's like Christmas....for a month!!!

What determines if I like a team?

• How much I like the people from that country
• My past experiences with people from that country
• The past success of the team
• How much I like the country itself
• The realistic chances of the team advancing
• How cute the players on the team are
• and of course the way they play. My methods are not completely bogus.
  

Based on these qualifications, these are my personal opinions on some teams...which are not meant to be completely serious or to offend anyone who is completely serious.

USA: If they are able to win the #1 spot in their group, which would mean beating Italy, there is still a chance in the quarterfinals. If they come in #2, they will most likely have to play Brazil, which means they should pack their bags before the game. I will still have faith for my motherland.

England: Not sure how Rooney is doing but apparently the hype is that they're not much without him. What ever happened to Beckham?? He got too cute. I hope Rooney recovers in time.

Germany: I know they're the host team, but I don't like stinkin' Germans. They're evil Nazis. And that wench Jessica is half German, speaks it and everything.

Mexico: I have a love-hate relationship with Mexico, but I have family in Mexico, and in Costa Rica, so I'd root for them. I'm not too sure if either team has much of a chance this year though.

Italy: I love everything Italian, and they're one of the top teams, so GOOO ITALY!!!

Brazil: They're the best, everyone knows it, they've won FIVE championships in a tournament that only happens every four years...that's impressive. I get it. I used to have the biggest crush on Ronaldo. But really, it's almost too much. Let another team have a little glory.

Tunisia: The only north African team in the Cup. I'd root for them based on that, but Redouane's roommate is Tunisian. He's a nice guy, but he's married, and he has two girlfriends, and he thinks it's funny. I'm not laughing.

Argentina: Usually I'd like them, the guys are so hot, but Redouane was married to an Argentinean a couple years ago and he's just a little too excited about the team for me not to be a little peeved. I still like them somewhat though, if they play well I'll probably end up loving them again.

Holland: Amsterdam....GO HOLLAND!!!!

So, to anyone who cares about this marvelous event which is about to start TOMORROW, have fun and go crazy because it only happens every four years.
