Politics, open government, and safe streets. And the constant incursion of cycling.

World Cup: US v. England in First Round

Man, this sucks. I was just telling someone the other day that the only time I engage in a good bit of enthusiastic nationalism is on behalf of the US in the World Cup.  But I just can’t see myself rooting against England.  Certain English players, yes.  But not England.

    Team ‘Oranje’ all the way, baby.

    Are you kidding me?! you cant “see yourself rooting against England?” I’m sorry, what country are you from? Oh yea, America! Why don’t you show some nationalism and cheer for YOUR OWN COUNTRY.. you know.. the one that you have a REASON to cheer for.. because you’re FROM THERE!
    It’s ENGLAND for Christ’s sake. People like you only like England because you don’t actually watch soccer and you just listen to other people when they say America’s team is no good and England rules, when in reality, the US has a fairly good team this year and chances are, we’re going to beat England in the first round!

    No Zac, I am not, in fact, kidding you. And that’s a remarkable amount of knowledge you’ve got about me.

    You know, I’m coming to the conclusion that it’s me, and not them. How do I attract so many idiots?
