Running, all-purpose World Cup thread

Thanks ABC, we're very happy you delayed your coverage of the Nameless Open for the world's most-viewed sporting event. Now quit beating your chests about live shots being seen by a billion and a half people. Honestly...

 

i can take no more of Foudy and wynalda....did i just see Kobe Bryant in a soccer commercial?

 

NAMELESS, try the best name of the entire tour. CIALIS Western Open.
And of the billion-plus people watching, we'll be the only ones with the top 1/6 of the screen covered up.

 

Riveting pre-game show. Come back from break, 10 seconds of Brent, break, 10 seconds of Brent, break.

 

All that and they missed the start of the Italian anthem.

 

it is a good thing the italians are good futbol players, because they can't sing

 

A better pre-game show would be:

Come back from break, 5 seconds of Brent, break, 5 seconds of Brent, break.

 

finally....KICK OFF!

Let the cards fly

 

thierry henry just went to sleep on the field

 

Henry KO'd

 

He looked real bad, too. He's back now, but who knows how effective he'll be.

Ooooo, PK for France!

EDIT: Holy shit, Zidane almost missed that!!!! Oh, but it's definitely in. Bounced right in off the crossbar. 1-0 Frogs!!!

 

Zidane with the sand wedge goal.



So ... are we now in for 84 minutes of bunkering by France?
