Oof! I spent 3 hrs last night picking teams for Mr. M's World Cup pool entry.
I suggested we just pick based on the prettiest boys in The Non-Football Fan's Guide to the World Cup (Thank you
chantefable for that lovely link)
but he insisted that we trudge through sports sites from various countries and see what everyone had to say about EVERY TEAM and make intelligent guesses with calculated risks. Well, he has been watching Merlin with me, so it's kinda the least I could do. :D
Still, I just know that the person that knows nothing about football and picked based on flag colours will always win. *sigh*
But! YAY!!! Football fever is here!

As per Brazil in the world cup, I'm sad to say I don't believe in the hexa this year, but I sure hope we get to the final game. I'm still pissed at the elimination in 2006, because that fucking team wasn't playing properly. Besides, I love Dunga, and I don't want him to get fired after the Cup.

Date: 2010-06-10 01:19 pm (UTC)We should compare notes. :D who's in your final?
no subject
Date: 2010-06-10 01:29 pm (UTC)Umm, but perhaps we have no idea how pools actually work? lol. Mostly it's just an outlet for my small, sweet-looking S.O. who is actually roaringly competitive at heart and loves having bragging rights over any sort of victory, lol. I tend to be more Hufflepuff about these things, so I'm indulging.
I don't even remember who I have for now, except I do know I ended up with both North Korea and South Korea. :/ I think I have Brazil and Argentina, though, so that might be good...

Date: 2010-06-10 01:37 pm (UTC)But yeah, we picked all the way through to the final last night, so if Italy get eliminated in the first round, our chances are pretty much hopeless.
But still, it's totally fun.
*squishes indulgent!you and competitive!S.O.*
that's just adorable.

Hot men, indeed. ;)

Date: 2010-06-10 02:51 pm (UTC)I have no idea who could win this year. Usually I have this gut feeling, and whoever I gut-feel about ends up second. LOL. But this year? Blank slate. Never mind, though, we're just here for the sweaty, muscled thighs...

Date: 2010-06-10 05:21 pm (UTC)I'm keeping my fingers crossed very tight for England this time, but I suspect the quarter finals is as far as we'll go. My money's on Spain to snatch it. But I'll be happy as long as I get to gaze at Steven Gerrards thighs *happy sigh*

Date: 2010-06-11 12:39 pm (UTC)you never know... *snickers*
I would like to see England do well. We've got them making it to the semi in the pool, but I do hope they get further. :D
My money's on Spain to choke, with the Netherlands finally doing well. *crosses fingers*

I'm more worried about how to avoid being attacked by protesters/police in two weeks while I attempt to go to school during the week of the G20. The most amusing part is that my school's opening our auditorium to watch the soccer matches but wants to charge $5/non-student. It's like..uh, why wouldn't they go to a bar instead?

Date: 2010-06-11 12:45 pm (UTC)We went to see the final two years ago in a movie theatre and it was pretty cool, but yeah. a bar, totally my preference. (even at seven in the morning. *g*)
