1. Vuvuzelas. Gotta get me one

Re 11: Uruguay. Seriously. Especially the first twenty minutes of the game they played against Mexico. Holy shit, that was some fantastic teamwork football going on. They've also switched strategies successfully multiple times--I really love watching them play. And, well, Brazil when they get their shit together, but obvious answer is very obvious.

The lack of teamwork has been STUNNING in these opening matches. And USA I'm talking about your last two games. Don't even front!

I could probably be persuaded to at least clue in for the hotassery if you lied to me and told me the average height of a World Cup player was 6'1" instead of, what, probably 5'6"?

What can I say? I'm heightist! *pouints to ASkars' longass legs*

Baby, soccer players ARE tall (no, not lying). The ideal height is probably 5'10-6'0* and average goal keeper is probably 6'1-6'3 and these men? ALL LEGS. Perfectly defined, long, lean muscled legs.

*Everything can be compensated for with skills.

Hey, bb! Is that url in the subject line pertinent?

I'm actually thrilled to hear this news -- almost as thrilled as I was to hear that USA pulled out a miracle win! Woo hoo! Now that I'm here for hotassery, I actually care! ;)

I do not know where that url came from! Strange business indeed! But I promise you, I know lots of hotass soccer players and none of them would I refer to as short or even middle height.

the icon has the wrong football, but the right idea

I'm delighted by your priorities.

Except for the vuvuzelas because they really do seem overwhelming.

But I've recently discovered the appeal of rugby after strenuously ignoring it for years (Grownups in shorts on tv are much more appealing that the hungover college guys who would take over our practice field. What a difference a decade makes. Well, and not fighting for the field.) and so points 8 and 12 are particularly personal right now.

The very first match I thought that noise was feedback from the TV, but no, it was the vuvuzelas. I've become rather partial to them. Can't quite say why, but they add a certain ambiance that I enjoy.

Rugby! I LOVE rugby. The man kind, not so much the hungover student kind.

3; i'm french and i'm uterly ashamed by my fu**ing team. you may be right about, it would have been better if we never went to that world cup.

4. me too i'd like to read that. (damn i missed the part with the ref.) because yes, i'm rooting for USA. i loved their match against Slovenia.

12. and yes, thanks heaven for the end time.

3. Your team. Whooooooooooooo boy. But what is the World Cup without drama? We do have to thank you for that ;-)

4. When I saw the ref moment it was like my slash goggles clicked into military mission mode. I heard this *click click* in my head.

7 1/2. WORD.

3. you're welcome but to be honest i would have preferred to avoid that. but at least they were useful. :)

4) I find that lately its become impossible for me to turn on the tv without suddenly needing slash

and

12) YES THAT IS THE WHOLE REASON WHY I'VE BEEN WATCHING

[hackthis]

4) That's how I'm feeling. All the kissing and hugging and groping and more kissing and the jumping around and frottage. I mean wow.

12) I am a huge football fan, but the basic animal appeal cannot be denied.

[dimwit90]

Haha thats actually the only reason I find to watch any sport
