World Cup Final
The World Cup final is over; some ludicrous number of people watched some team beat the other team. The next tournament will be held in Germany in 2006. If you haven't watched the game for whatever reason, obviously you might want to avoid clicking through (or reading any other news site, or talking to anyone...). Neither of those two links should be a spoiler, though.
And for those that did click through, the final standings are up, as are lots and lots of reports about the game.
He gives everyone different gifts; theirs happen to be being good at football.
And here I was thinking hard work and practice is what gave them their "gifts", thanks for setting me straight.

I've had enough abrasive sigs. Kittens are cute and fuzzy.

They should have crocked Ronaldo... Sure that would have looked bad, and I probably wouldn't like to see it happen.
BUT DAMN IT. I WOULD BE PARTYING RIGHT NOW!!!
Instead I'm here reading Slashdot. This so sucks.

football is a far more accurate name for "soccer" anyways, since you are kicking it with your foot. i read this hiliarous editorial in TIME. says that Americans dont seem to care about football due to the lack of education in international geography. "the only countries Americans know are they ones that attack them." this is stereotypical... but still funny "you live in canada?, what state is that?"
Great Atrocit
I watched it on UniVision here. The best was hearing (in Spanish) "It's a bird, a plane, it's SUPER-KAHN!" and I don't even speak spanish either.
