So, y'all excited about the FIFA World Cup?

One of those competitions with the word "World" in their name where the entire world is actually invited to participate.

@falstro ready to see how much money was wasted building a dozen stadiums in the jungle that will never be used again

@ratchetfreak Did they ever finish building those?

I think they did

under protest from the general public wanting that money for something else

you know boring stuff like better schools and such

public, schmublic

@Federico brilliant, too bad I don't get HBO

@ratchetfreak Something Something Mayan Temples?

@voretaq7 Will you be watching the world cup?

you're in an appropriate time zone at least :)

@falstro Soccer? No.

Soccer is a sport one plays, not a sport one watches.

(and I don't even like playing it)

@voretaq7 :)

the rest of the world tends to disagree with you ;)

@falstro The rest of the world is stupid :-P

@voretaq7 evidently

especially the french

@falstro Never trust a man who drinks so much wine he'll eat a frog!

@voretaq7 Or has a non-profit with a billion dollars in the bank... although, that's the american way, isn't it? :)

(see the John Oliver youtube clip that @Federico posted)

aaand now I have to go to my pre-audit. Send Booze.

@voretaq7 sounds like fun

@voretaq7 I've the same belief.

Though they have the same opinion about me.

That should probably read "italian soccer players..."

lulz

@falstro I beg to differ

@Federico of course you do ;)

@falstro Are you supporting Germany in soccer?

@Farhan only when there are germans around ;)

@falstro And whom when you are alone?

@Farhan Usually Sweden. I like losing. ;)

@falstro You are Swedish?

Also a big Blue Jays fan, but they seem to have turned it around this year

@Farhan On paper yes

Sweden isn't in the Worldcup

@Farhan Yeah, so I've heard. People around here take pleasure in pointing that out :)

Got knocked out by Portugal in the final round of qualifiers

Yup, that's very heartbreaking.

Not a big soccer fan though, usually watch the big events like the world cup and the european championships. As good a reason as any to fire up the barbecue.

Some people are super crazy about sports.
