4. What's the difference between a vuvuzela and Mel Gibson?
Mel Gibson becomes more annoying when he DOESN'T get blown.

5. Essentially, ESPN was showing it, they are a major network, so they were pimping...
Edited on Sun Jul-25-10 10:39 PM by Robeson
...it like there was no tomorrow. ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN News, ESPN Radio. All their shows and announcers were going on and on and on about it. Funny thing is, 90% of those talking head wouldn't know a soccer ball if it hit them in the head. But they pimped for the Mother Ship.

7. It was the greatest sporting event of my life
I became a supporter of the Spanish national team 8 years ago, cheering alongside my now dearly departed mother-in-law who was Spaniard.

Two years ago I became a big fan of FC Barcelona, mostly due to my friendship with her brother-in-law tio Antonio. More than half of Spain's starting lineup this year were Barcelonistas, so I knew most of the players really well.

As a native-born Clevelander, I was cursed to be a sports fan of local Cleveland teams, aka Looserville. But now, by my allegiance to Barca, and Espana, I am now a champion of the world!

I am not the cause of looser-dom for teams I support! It's not me! I'm a winner. Unfortunately, Cleveland is still a looser. Maybe I can bring my new found luck to Looserville and get us the first title in 47 years!
