Eurotrash, unite!

I'm so excited about the World Cup. Yeah, it's kinda boring and the makeup of the crowds makes you fear for the future of the human race. But it also has some things going for it. For one thing, it's not as bad as NASCAR.

Also, the players are really quite trendy, and it's fun to see the chic soccer styles of other countries (hairstyles vary, but waxed eyebrows are apparently popular worldwide).

Most importantly, the World Cup gives a chance for all the other countries in the world to be better at something than we are. That must make them feel good inside.

Go, soccer! Bend it like Beckham!
