Best advertising to get you hyped for the World Cup.

Best part is the one involving Wayne Rooney.

Anyone else watched this?

I have, and I'm hyped. I just hope South Africa is ready for the madness to descend. Any thoughts on who's going to do well or do poorly? I'll save my picks till someone else comments, so as to get some debate going.

You are <s>an American</s> a US citizen. It is entirely inappropriate for you to get excited over... soccer. How dare you disgrace real football! (You know, the football where the ball rarely comes in contact with feet.) How dare you disgrace our national tradition of not giving a crap about (men's) soccer! Our Founding Fathers didn't shoot at British people so you could watch a bunch of sissy foreigners fake injuries for an hour and a half! You...

Uhhhhh... what was I saying? Something about... uh, I forget. Anyway, <s>soccer</s> <s>football</s> the aforementioned sport is great. Let's go USA! (and portugal)

And I predict that either England, Germany, France, Brazil, Argentina or Uruguay will win. Because no one else ever has, in 80 years. That's pretty much all I know about the World Cup.

(And I wish to convey my apologies to anyone who may have been offended by my opening paragraph, especially that last line... It was a joke, I assure you.)

That was pretty epic looking.

I wish soccer was a bit more appreciated in the US. I might've played.

edit: and oh hey post 206 when did I break 200?

Nike gets a +1 for advertising. I just people in the US actually cared about soccer.

People in the US like American Football because it's ridiculously linear. You go one way, then you're stopped. THen you go another way, then one way, then another.



Soccor is like a retarded, boring snake moving around because it can.

That CM was seriously epic. I don't think I'll be actually watching it (since I don't have the patience to watch any sport; I'd rather play) but I'll be keeping up with the rankings, fo sho. I love soccer

[size=0] ^^ That's because Americans don't know how to think which is why they like linear things. Also, you have spelled soccer wrong therefore your comment is invalid.[/size]
