Confederations Cup Open Thread


Shit, Jesus is on their side? This is gonna be tricky.

The two most badass countries in the Western Hemisphere square off now in South Africa. It's one of the rare times where America is a true underdog. Brazil invented sexy football. I'm always excited to watch Dempsey, Onyewu, Howard, and the Beas. Heck, I'll even say I want Landycakes to have a good game. Unfortunately, they go up against Kaká, who makes me hold my breath every time the rock's at his feet. Plus his friends, and they're pretty good, too. That and they've got a nation full of oversexed gangsters and the hottest chicks in the world backing them up.

Ordem e Progreso v. E Pluribus Unum.

You should be watching. Drop a comment into the comments section, tell us what you think.

  1. I think it's pretty awesome that Brazil's keeper is Julio Cesar, and pretty much only because of his name.

    Who's in goal? The muhfuckin Roman emperor.

  2. Brazil is pissed. But it seems like we've gotten our act together on defense.

  3. Furthermore, Billy Mays is dead and there was a military coup in Honduras. I would like to hope that those two things are related, but that would be greedy.

  9. Uh, this bizarro Bridgestone House of Pain astronaut commercial is way better than it should be.

  10. I do love the concept of Aliens putting lunar rovers on blocks. Speaking of ads, when can we retire the Biz Markee Heineken commercial?

    ReplyDelete
  11. When can we retire all Heineken commercials except for the Champions League choir ones?

  12. I just got back from class.

    HOLY FUCK!!!!

  13. And I still stand by my claim that we should all yell Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu when Onyewu does anything.

  14. If Kasey Keller were playing the score would be 5-0 and I have only watched 10 minutes.

  16. I think Brasil just scored a goal. I think Tim, Dwight, and Josh should star in their own Nike puppet commercial called The Howards.

  17. If Clint D scores again, I'm gonna take off my shirt. Then, I might swing it around my head like a helicopter.

  18. you should patent that idea. Throw in Ryan for good measure. I would say Marcus Howard also, but he sucks.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Daniel Alves' turtleneck is not a good look.

    ReplyDelete
  20. We gots to make some subs soon! (Yeah, Ryan would be key)

    ReplyDelete
  21. I'm the jinx, I'm turning the game off now.

    /Celtic prided.

  22. Haha. I believe it's known as a "sport dickey." Julio Cesar's rockin one too. My personal fave is Totti

    ReplyDelete
  25. I'm sorry, I didn't actually turn the game off.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Lots of Jesus t-shirts in the Brasilian camp. I'm cool with that.

    ReplyDelete
  27. At least I can turn off the tv and not have my apt sound like a swarm of locusts anymore.

  28. Icehouse, Dallas Bmore on NFL network. John Jarret sighting.
