I seem to be doing pretty decently in the office footie pool--out of the last eight games, I've only failed to call the winner twice, which isn't too bad, really. Especially as I made my guesses based on which team is slashiest (see: Melle's Theory of Football) and/or which team I dislike the most, as well as some utterly random guesses for teams I didn't know anything about.

Also: Fandom is like soccer football, a highly accurate analysis. Heeee!

Also also, happy birthday to wibbble

Thanks! :o)

Oh: I happened to see you from the window where I was being exposed to really dull training - you looked really dressed up. Anything scary happening in your department?

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Dressed up? o_O It's the same skirt I was wearing last week, just that now I could actually be arsed to iron a blouse, and it's cold enough that I'm wearing my jacket. That's not dressed up!

[wibbble]

Well, it looked really smart - although I did only catch a quick glimpse from the window. :op

You're just not used to seeing me in a skirt, I think. :p

[wibbble]

Probably! :o)

I love the football analysis! =)

It's so very, very true, man. :D

Augh. Nobody's airing it on a channel that I get so I can't watch, but I keep up with scoreboards and everything and I just want to say WHAT THE BLOODY FUCK. Landon. Honey. I root for the US team not because I am American, but because you're hot on it and you're a really good player. So WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED?! You and your teammates got your asses handed to you by the fucking Czech Republic! That was the lousiest game you've ever played! These games matter, you know! *headdesk*

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Dammit, they lost? I bet on them to win that game! Bah! :(

Can you watch it online anywhere?

[lightandashes.livejournal.com]

Did they lose? Did they lose?! HELL YES THEY LOST. Czech Republic 3, USA 0. 0!

I haven't found a good source online. :X

Wow, that's ... kind of embarassing, actually. *offers sympathy coffee and biscuits* Notthat England's much ebtter, mind. Sure, we won, but off the opposition's captain's head ...

Want me to ask around? I'm sure I can find one. :)

Landon played one of the worst games of his life. *facepalm* Boy, what is WRONG with you lately? You kicked ass last time around!

Thank you. *munches* I swear, I don't know what's going on this time. The teams that kicked ass last time are SUCKING now, and on the asskickery scale you have teams like Trinidad and Tobago waaaaaaay up there. Until now the best thing one could say about TaT was that their uniforms looked good and they had better hair than most players! Landon! Becks! What happened to you guys?

Would you? You're about the only football fan I know, so any help would be much appreciated.

Dude, T&T are the kicckingest-arse team in the Cup, and so purdy! Not that I don't still hope England manage to get themselves together, mind.

I'll poke the internet for a link. :D
