I hope England kicks Sweden's ass next week...then T&T just has to beat a demoralized Paraguay in order to advance to the next round. That would be so awesome...

I find it funny that a country can't stop a war becuase thousands of innocent civilians are dying but they can becuase they are hosting a fucking soccer game.

Small error in my original post, it isn't becuase they(Ivory Coast) are hosting but just becuase they fucking qualified.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/06 /02/AR2006060201401.html
A small snippet of the article:
| Quote: |
The World Cup is coming, which means a flurry of desperate attempts by tournament promoters to excite Americans about an event that electrifies the rest of the world. This year is no different. ESPN, which will broadcast most of the games in the United States, is airing a series of ads with members of the rock band U2. In one, Bono says that the World Cup "closes the schools, closes the shops, closes a city and stops a war."
If stopping a war seems like an exaggeration, another ad explains soccer's peace-building qualities in more detail: "After three years of civil war, feuding factions talked for the first time in years, and the president called a truce. Because the Ivory Coast qualified for the World Cup for the first time. Because, as everyone knows, a country united makes for better cheerleaders than a country divided."

What makes sense? The fact that people can war over pathetic shit day in and day out, but when their nation's soccer team makes it to the World Cup, all is right? Okay...

His sentence, retard. Stop trying to act clever or witty...you're neither, so be quiet.

I'm just responding, so if by responding to you is an attempt to be "witty" or "clever", then sure, I guess. Suit yourself.

You're writing like a smartass, shithead. Now stop posting...it's not like morons like you have anything important to add, ever.

I'm not writing like a smartass. I'm just responding to you in a nice and coherent manner instead of, "LOL STFU." If you want me to sink down to your level, I can do that as well...
Why the fuck won't you shut the fuck up and piss off? You're just a god damn troll who isn't adding shit to this thread, either. You're just another pot calling the kettle black.
whoa.

Oderint, dum metuant.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt
