he said I should pop in on the Pub if for no other reason than to annoy all of you with Soccer talk .Nah, he didn't actually suggest that... that's my idea.
No Italy. No USA I 'get', but no 'Italy'? It's almost like watching the Rams take the field without horns on their helmets.
But enough chit chat... down to the nitty-gritty... my expert prognostications:
England... that's my team. RamUK hails from there, or did... and my son lives there. AND - Belgium... because they brew the best beer in the world. I like Germany but they are the favorites so my relationship is more like 'we're friendly but I don't want to sleep with them'.
Other favorites: Morocco.. they know how to do 'uniforms'. They are 250 - 1 against so if you want to see their uniforms you'll have to do it quickly. Mexico - because nearly everyone I know around my home town is rooting for them and if I don't they'll toilet paper my house. South Korea because they've been in the news a lot lately so I've heard of them.
And lastly - Iceland... because it's Iceland. Yes you read that correctly... Iceland. You've probably heard of their capital... Razorveck. Or something like that.
Who I'm rooting against: France... because it's France. I think France should cater the World Cup, not play in it. Nah, actually I kind of like France... but they're part of that "Top 4" so I just can't make myself root for a favorite.
My prediction to win it all: Argentina. Because I read an article from someone I've never heard of writing for a publication I had never heard of and they said Argentina would win it all.
First game is about to begin... I won't see it. I'll be at the lake drinking Belgian Beer. - JamesJM
My wife and daughters are super soccer fans .I have to admit to not having much of a feel for it. They will have long conversations full of words like "Spain" and "Brazil" and so on, and to me it sounds like they're discussing a game of Risk. My sole purpose during these conversations is to keep grilling and keep the good food coming.
But to be fair, for my sake, la spouse became a dedicated Rams fan and to this day wears a faded Faulk jersey around the house.
Hope all is well with you old friend.
