I know that the US is no longer in the running for the World Cup championship, but it was a good, sexy, heart-attack inducing run while it lasted so let's have an appreciation post in the form of a picspam!

Germany appreciation post with a flimsy 'reminder to come back to chat for the game' cover. America fans, we really want them to conquer so they play England instead of us in the round of 16, just sayin'.

US NATIONAL TEAM APPRECIATION POST WOOHOO
I know it is halftime but shut up, a ten minute blitz of pix will clearly give the US the goal we need. IF YOU LOVE THE UNITED STATES AND THEIR RETARDATION, PLEASE COME INSIDE AND SPAM LIKE WE'RE MAKING MUSUBI, BABY.

Sewage spill lays waste to England’s unis
England’s soccer team often has been accused of airing its dirty laundry in public, but at this World Cup it was forced to do it for real.
A bizarre incident at the team’s hotel in Sun City saw the team’s entire kit of jersey, shorts, socks and sweat suits covered in a disgusting mess after a sewage drain overflowed and flooded the storage room where the uniforms were being kept.
READ MORE HERE.
ETA: IS NO ONE ELSE AROUND FOR SPAIN V. SWITZERLAND RN? |

| QUERIES. |
[14th Jun. 2010 • 03:36] |

Have we found any decent resources for catching the matches after live airing? I'll be working during a majority of my "must see" matches and I don't want to miss them so I was wondering if there are any sites out there that will be replaying them. HELP A POOR FOOL OUT. |

In case anyone was wondering, you can buy a vuvuzela here.
I was actually looking for something else. |

Cool tech stuff that I spotted today courtesy of my Twitter and other things:
- VISUAL PLAY-BY-PLAY COURTESY OF NYTIMES.COM GLOBAL: For those of you who can't stream because you're, idk, at the office, The New York Times has a cool widget on the front of its Global Site that splits up the game in an easy graphical format. It shows you how many touch/passes/goals were made at what time, as well as a heat map to see where most of the action has been, a diagram of passes minute-by-minute, and overview graphs of the action. Bonus: their World Cup Coverage ain't that bad, either.
- TEXTING WASHINGTON POST FOR UPDATES: According to its Twitter site, you can text "SOCCER" to "98999" if you want results. (This is for another one for the office-stranded set.)
Also, I can't believe I didn't ask this before: who are you guys rooting for? NGL, I'M STILL TRYING TO FIGURE THIS ONE OUT, but the US (duh), Mexico, and Germany are in my top hearts. I will probably love England when they are not going up ~against ussss~. Anyway: BIG TEAM LOVE DUMP WITHIN? In the interim, I'll go waugh at the fact that the Uruguay v. France is stalling with no scores on either side at the half. |

So as to not spam Allison's introduction post more: you may have noticed me cruising around IJ with stupid-looking icons of people with their nation's flag colors on their faces. This is me trying to be spirited. HOWEVER, I can also make them for you if you want one/some. Please drop requests here! Things to note: I can't make anything for USA #1 (SAD IRONY) because our flag over someone's face looks like red prison bars. |

[10th Jun. 2010 • 23:00] |
Hey everyone, just thought I'd share a post with some useful links that can be found here. Personally, I'm using the ESPN WC app for my iPhone and it's decent. I haven't tried the others.
Also, for those who like Twitter, there is this, which is pretty cool: http://twitter.com/worldcup |
