In 8 Short Days…

It begins.

The kickoff to the World Cup in South Africa. I had to remind a friend that it is winter down there while he was packing shorts and t-shirts. It definitely ain’t winter in New York City, dust off the ol’ kit and reserve a seat at the pop-up indoor stadium in NoLita and start thrusting your hips like Shakira or don’t.  Either way, you can pretend to be enraged at the poor officiating even though you still don’t understand the offside rule.

My prediction:

The Flying Dutchmen although Spain come in a close second.

The biggest flop of the tournament will be Italy.  Have you seen their roster?  The worst set of strikers ever assembled.
