The Most Overrated Event in Sports

The World Cup sucks. I said it. I don't care who I offend. The World Cup just sucks.

I can't stand the fucking horns that are blaring for 90 unfathomably unbearable minutes.

I can't stand the flopping. Fuck Spain especially. Don't think I forgot what your basketball teams did in 
北京 2 years ago.

For my female readers...if I have any.

Regardless, after much soul searching, I have finally formulated my rooting interests. The United States and South Korea. My rooting for the United States is pretty obvious. Gotta hold it down for the Red, White and Blue. My rooting for South Korea is fairly mind-numbingly predictable. Basically, South Korea is the closest country to China and we both share the historical commonality of being imperialized by Japan. While North Korea is actually geographically closer to China than South Korea, I cannot rationalize the notion of rooting for a country run by someone who is probably dead and a country that has butchered Karl Marx's ideology regarding communism. I'm a Marxist at heart, what can I say.

Speaking of bibimbop... as I was watching the ESPN broadcasting of the North Korea - Brasil game, I ran across an interesting anecdote. Supposedly, Chinese actors were paid to be North Koreans for the duration of the World Cup and root unabashedly for the North Korean squad. My roommate and I laughed vociferously. Such is the reality of an isolationist, totalitarian regime.

Seriously though, the vuvuzelas need to fuckin go. They are annoying as fuck.

For my male readers. If you focus enough, you can find a flag.
