World Cup 2010 Thread


It's here. After waiting four long years and sitting around watching other, less popular sports (I'm looking at you Moose Climbing), La Copa Mundial has arrived. Let us delve into the tournament of football, the most popular sport on this planet we call, Earth.

Times of matches and a link to a printable schedule. I have mine all ready to go.

Here is some very nice info and pictures on the cities and stadiums where games will take place. South Africa looks lovely this time of year.

Finally I will tell you which teams I'm rooting for and I hope you do the same as well. Let's get some competitive spirit going.

1. Mexico- Because I am Mexican.

2. United States- I was born here, it's my home!

3. Germany- Well you know obviously...

4. England- I visited merry old England two years ago, it's fanTAStic.

5. Spain- My grandpa told me we're of Spaniard descent.

6. Australia- I have a few friends down under, their women are pretty hot and I want to visit one day.

 

 

I LOVE the World Cup.
