The douche bag broke the leg of Stuart Holden. Thankfully he was able to recover in time and still made the US World Cup Squad.

But the guy is an asshole and deserves to have his leg fall off with much pain and anguish.

That obviously is because Americans have no clue about anything. 'USA' is probably the only countryname they recognize, so you can't blame them. Arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand ;)

that reminds me of a great satirewire quote
"I can see where it's important if we're, like, beating some country in the Olympics or bombing them or, ideally, both," Grisham added. "But if some Colombian drug lord sinks a ferry full of Israeli soldiers in North Latvoania or Serbo-Malaysia, or wherever, and Americans aren't involved, what has that got to do with me?"
The rest of the article is pretty funny : -

Wow, i remember when that site stopped making new material...2002 fuck that is a long time ago *cries*

I see. Never heard of that Holden bloke though.

Surprising to see that the 'traditional' WC winners aren't dominating the vote. :)

I assume that the person who voted 'none of the above' meant Belgium, so basically, we are dominating the vote, though it's a tie with the 2nd.

That's probably Dyvim, as he's a rabid supporter of Cameroon or Ghana, if memory serves.

If he were a rabid supporter of Cameroon, he'd have voted Cameroon, now wouldn't he?

I don't pay attention to soccer until World Cup games start airing on television, so I picked Brazil. The world's hottest women and some talented players. Well, hot women at least. *shrugs*

Those of us in the civilized world call it soccer, Frenchman.

Grunt, reality is that good looking girls follow the sport all over the world. Even in the US:-p

I see them all the time at Sounders games in Seattle. And now that the weather is getting nicer, they are wearing less and less clothing:-p
