I’m going to admit something that may well get me beaten and shackled within the confines of my cubicle here: This weekend, I forgot about the World Cup. I just forgot it existed. There was basketball on, and drinks to be drank, and I just plum forgot that the world’s most watched sports tournament was a mere week away.

And now, look! As I’m sitting here writing, we’re a miniscule 4 days away! 4 days away, guys! AHHHH! Right?

Anyway, as promised, we like to post each day a countdown to WK2K10, and fortunately for you, dear reader, we’ve decided to combine your two favorite things! Soccer and animals! Now go grab your mom cause she’s gonna LOVE this.
