Second verse, same as the first

Oh, England. Suck a little harder, why don't you?

IDEK. I guess there's approximately zero chance that we'll win against Slovenia, so I probably need to pick another team to support for the rest of the World Cup.

Wow, I'm stunned. I can't believe Slovenia's at the top of that heap. O.o

I remember being so pleased when I saw who we were in a group with, because I thought for sure we'd easily win the group. HOW WRONG WAS I. :(((

Of course it should rightfully be the USA at the top, but what can you do.

LOL God, don't remind me. That call! But, yes, what can you do. WHAT A STRANGE WORLD CUP. Serbia beat Germany, too.

Serbia beat Germany, too.

LOL, that's been my favourite result so far. But, yeah, lots of teams you'd expect to do well have been losing, like France and Spain, so who knows who'll end up winning. (Probably someone super predictable like Brazil, actually.)

I think Argentina's been doing really well? IDKKKKK

[identity profile] botherd.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Gah, NOTHING would suck more than Argentina winning.

HAHAHA I understand. ;)

Do other countries hate Argentina too? THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY.

For some reason there's the impression of...arrogance?

[identity profile] old-wp.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
HAHA Mary, I'm trying to be diplomatic, okay? I'm certain there are very lovely Argentinians out there.

I think there is some magic effect where the minute they cross the border during the summer, they forget all about politeness and/or having any regard for Brazilian traffic laws. NUMBERS. YOU CAN READ THEM, COME ON NOW.

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

[identity profile] botherd.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
That makes sense! I mean, obviously England has been wishing death on Argentina since the Hand of God, but I didn't know how other countries perceived them.

Well, my mom's from Mexico, and she's always held that impression, too. It's WEIRD. I mean, I don't like painting with a broad brush, it's just this reputation they seem to carry around with them.

THE RIVALRY BETWEEN BRAZIL AND ARGENTINA MAY OR MAY NOT BE EPIC.

[identity profile] botherd.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
LOLL I HAD NO IDEA. *fails* They're probably England's most-hated team too, or maybe joint-most-hated with Germany.

[identity profile] old-wp.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
LOOK, AS SOON AS MEXICO IS OUT, I'M SUPPORTING BRAZIL, JUST FOR YOU

[identity profile] fivewhatfive.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
THE WAY THINGS ARE GOING, I WON'T BE SURPRISED IF BRAZIL SUCKS TOO. I'M CHEERING FOR TEAM ANYONE-BUT-ARGENTINA

THEY WILL NEVER BE FORGIVEN

IF ARGENTINA WINS, MARADONA WILL BE THEIR HERO AGAIN. I can't believe he made a "comeback" from all the drugs and stuff.

UGH I CAN'T BEAR THE THOUGHT.

[identity profile] supergoodtimes.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah definitely! I've quite enjoyed Mexico (only because of the atmosphere when their supporters are around). I also quite like Portugal (although, probably only because I love the country) and Holland. The overall quality of games will probably remain sketchy until the knock-out period from the groups are over. Grrr it's so frustrating supporting England!
I can't believe Slovenia's at the top of that heap. O.o *dies inside*
