As for Sven, I harbor no personal ill will. But he does seem like the type of coach who could blandly embrace a 6-4-0 formation and instruct players to start playing to the corner and try to run out the clock in the 75th minute of a 0-0 game. The hopes of the host continent rested largely on the Ivory Coast and a wickedly talented (albeit whiny and petulant) striker, and I believe they had a chance to steal a win from the talented Portuguese and their precious little prima donna. These hopes appear to not be dashed so much as washed out in a tepid wave of apathy. Africa weeps and Sven simply pours another cup of tea.

The announcers during yesterday's game seemed to agree with you.

Algeria held Slovenia (ha! ha ha!) to half as many goals as they scored on us, and shut out England instead of, say, letting them score in the first 30 seconds or so. Never underestimate our ability to fuck things up.

Shit defense will do that to you. In the 3 minutes of the USA-England game I saw there were about 4 balls the US d got totally beat on that went wide, whatever.

Once one goes in, however, the landslide will start.

I liked S-G-E better when he was helping Mexico lose.

What's next on the "change TM's mind" agenda?

Sweaters tied around the neck. Definitely.


In other news, when you're trying to get back in shape after having a baby when you're practically as old as Sarah, it's probably NOT the greatest ego-boost to go on a brief vacation to where every third person is an ironman triathlete with a perfect body.

Motherfuckers.

Apropos of nothing, formerly gay man cured of his homosexuality by Jesus speaks out against the sin; gives every indication that he may be desperately in need of further treatments. {Spree: YouTube video; graphic verbal description of the horrific death of some sperm.}

Obvious antidote: summer vacation in DC.

Yet you come back here where every third sock pretends to be an ironman triathlete?

FYI, the dark muscular people in the sugarcane fields weren't well-tanned triathletes doing deep knee bends.

It’s important to note here that the vast majority of schools lose money off athletics. In 2008, less than a quarter of sports powerhouses made money off their athletics programs, and collectively these same institutions lost nearly $1 billion on sports. These funds must be made up by state taxpayers or student tuition bills. Find out how much your school spent with this handy database put together by researchers at USA Today.
