Yes, I've been busy. No, the pictures aren't up, and I've decided to leave them be for the time being because I don't have time to sit around for an hour waiting for Photobucket to like me. I do have soccer news though.

First off, let's take a quick look at which teams made the top sixteen: Uruguay, Korea Republic, the United States, Ghana, the ( Read more... )

For added bonus, the little Argentinian coach runs around like a manic hugging and jumping up and down. Almost like a kid on a sugar rush.

Oh my GOD, I hate that fucking douchebag.

...Sorry, brainburst. Moving on.

I'm making myself feel better by thinking that, in both England and Mexico's cases, the other teams scored two more times after the respective controversial moves, which, in my head, means that the ref's bad calls ended up being irrelevant anyway. Yeah, it's lovely this time of year in De Nile.

On the bright side, I am so ridiculously proud of Ghana. Go represent your continent, kids! And you get double love from me for eliminating the US (although I'm torn because I kinda wanted the US to face Uruguay in quarterfinals and be steamrolled. Must be the Canadian in me).

Overall, I think I'm rooting for Uruguay to take it all because, why not. They're like the redheaded stepchildren of the hot-accented portion of South America, they deserve some love.

I love funny coaches. And by funny I mean coaches who always appear to be on one end of the emotional/sanity spectrum or the other. I always love it when the camera cuts to the coaches yelling something in silent slow motion, and I make up my own lines for them ( ... )

Oh I love funny coaches too, just not when they are fucking Maradona because, HAAAAAATE. But that's probably a South American thing.

Angry Coach: WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU RAN OUT OF IPHONES?!?!?!
Happy Coach: OMG! Toy Story 3! It's finally out!!!!! :3

LMAO THAT IS BRILLIANT. I'm totally gonna do that from now on. (Though I love it when I can read the lips of the Spanish-speaking coaches and I realize they're actually swearing and saying stuff like, "Motherfucker!" or "Fuck your mother!")

I'm with you on your top 3. My biggest dream is an all-South American and/or Spanish-speaking final 4 (Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil and Spain/Paraguay), culminating in either a Uruguay - Argentina or Brazil - Argentina final. South America has been KILLING it so far, they deserve it. (And if Argentina gets crushed under the weight of their own egos at the hands of either rival, you know, that would be cool too.)
