This one's entirely about sports so feel free to skip.
Not that anyone else cares about CONCACAF (and I certainly wouldn't if I were you, it's horrid) but I was looking at WC2010 qualifying groups earlier, and:
Oh god Mexico nooooo. I knew we'd end up with them but somehow it hadn't clicked that this meant we have to deal with SVEN now. I hate you Sven. >(
(So the best we can hope for is coming in fourth overall -- hahaha, that's likely -- and then winning the play-off with the fifth place South American team. *facepalm* I should really stop caring about our men's team, at least our girls are consistently much less shit than them. I know that if we ever make it to the World Cup again we'll just get massacred but it'd still be nice, and then at least some effort would be put into making the team slightly less embarrassing.)
ETA:
The Frenchman says he is deeply saddened that England have not qualified for Euro 2008. "It must change," he says. "You need good coach. Very soon I will be the manager of England and then they will have a chance to win something. They will not lose with me in charge of the team. I'll win many things. When I have gone far in acting; when I feel I will never get better; then I stop and do something else. I will try to win an Oscar, then, if I'm still alive, I will be coach of Manchester United and stay maybe as long as Fergie - we'll see. Then I will become the manager of England."
LOVE. HIM.
