World Cup: I don't ordinarily like soccer, but... →[More:]I'm addicted. Probably because I work from home and I hooked up an antenna. And the Mexico-Argentina game is looking like a shootout, at least from the first ten minutes. I just wish I spoke Spanish.

I hate when he yells that. I guess that makes me a bad soccer fan.

no, goatdog. I always cringe when he yells that. I find there are always a few aaaaa's too many.

I don't like it when it goes to shootouts. Although it is very dramatic!

Oh, I meant "shootout" in the nontechnical "oh my god they're scoring left and right!!!" sense, not the real meaning.

Goatdog, it seems that you (fortunately) have stumbled onto one of the games where the teams actually score. Yay!

posted by mudpuppie 24 June | 15:29

Hehe. Well, all the scoring happened over an hour ago.

PS, Goatdog: Last night in IRC, we called Cokie Roberts. Not prank calling. Just, like, actual calling. It was fun.
