Man on the Street - Volume 3

I got another email from Travis this morning.  It concerns America and Glory.  Read on, read on.

Day Thirteen Wrap Up.

It's all happening now.  As you may or may not have heard, the USA is FUCKING AWESOME.  Ignore the images and listen to the song.  Yes.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

U-S-A!  U-S-A!  U-S-A!  U-S-A!  U-S-A!

U-S-A!  U-S-A!  U-S-A!  U-S-A!  U-S-A!  

Day Two Wrap Up.

Oh, we're in it now.  I can only assume that Gooch's shirt is referring to the ethereal, transcendent talent that is Tim Howard.

Day One Wrap Up.

Day one is done. Group A games finished with two ties, one boring and one quite enthralling.

Judge Dread.

So, as you may or may not know, the USMNT B Team got Euro-Served last night by the ultimate threat to soccer in America:

Republicans.

Granted, these were Republicans of the Czech variety, but I still think my analysis holds.  

Based upon our individual and team performances last night, I am prepared to predict what the US Final Roster will look like.  And, in some strange coincidence, I'm putting out my version only HOURS before Bob Bradley will announce his final cuts at 1:00 PM EST today.

Go Round and Round.

The World Cup is filled with silly little things.

Below is a list of the slogans to be featured on the side of each country's team bus for the tournament.  Some of them are great (U-S-A! U-S-A!), and some of them are terrible (I'm looking at you, Greece).


If some of these translations are wrong, and for some UNAMERICAN reason, you speak one of the FOREIGN languages used below, feel free to be that SUPER-PRETENTIOUS guy/girl and let us all in on how much "smarter" you are than the rest of us.  Just know that you're officially a TERRORIST if you do so.  This is America.  We speak English.

One Month.

Friends and Lovers-

Declarative sentence: The World Cup begins in less than a month. Additional declarative sentence, followed by a sentence fragment: This blog will mostly be about the World Cup. Mostly.

In paragraphs to follow, my prose will soar to great heights. It will glorify the people, the places, the world and the game. But do not expect such things today. Instead, in this opening post, I will employ a cheap literary device.
