Hey guys! How was your Fourth of July? Was it totally awesome in a celebration-of-our-Independence type of way? Assuming you followed my Fourth of July mandates, it most certainly was as American as apple pie and Jack Daniels. In un-American news, the World Cup is still happening, and people still care about it. There are […]
This morning, Brazil was shockingly knocked out of the World Cup by the Netherlands, after a 68th minute header by Wesley Sneijder. Our favorite player of the match, though, was Felipe Melo, for being a huge douche — not only did he assist the Netherlands with an own goal, but then he STOMPED (seriously, stomped) […]
You guys. YOU GUYS. This is really important. Shut up. We have to change allegiances. I love the US of A (re: previous post) but right now, we all need to take one for the team and start cheering for Paraguay. I don’t care where your loyalties actually lie (better be America, patriot), we have […]
A few weeks ago BCU reported on the news that English World Cup team was forbidden from hooking up with their WAGs (wives and girlfriends) due to debaucherous partying and distracting behaviors in 2006. It gave us at BCU the impression that maybe these ladies are a little bit… well, inconsiderate, perhaps. Then we looked […]
Well, it’s over guys. We’re done. 110 minutes of hard play on Saturday morning and the US of A lost their chance at World Cup glory, as well as any chance of us caring about soccer again until 2014, when we’ll begrudgingly wear US flags and pretend to understand “offsides” if only to be allowed […]
You read right. Marathon man, record breaker, obviously awesome John Isner, 20 hours after his unbelievable 11 hour match win, lost after 74 minutes into round two of Wimbledon. With disastrous losses of 6 – 0, 6 – 2, and 6 – 3, the worn out Isner made no attempt to hide his exhaustion. It’s […]
It looks like everyone is getting in on the World Cup fever… even Americans (gasp! AMERICANS!) are tuning in at the god-awful hour of 7 am to watch 90 minutes of running, fake injuries, bleached hair, and OH YEAH, AWESOME DISPLAYS OF AGILITY AND ATHLETICISM. Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, and other notable Americans have been […]
I began this World Cup season believing that soccer was boring and tedious and difficult to understand. While it’s definitely still tedious and difficult to understand, I get now that it can be just as nerve-wracking and heart-poundingly awesome as football or basketball or hot dog eating contests. The next sport I plan to try […]
I have two words for you: Landon. F***ing. Donovan. Okay, that’s three, I don’t care. He pulled through after a scoreless 90 minutes and scored that goal in a way that said, “THIS IS FOR THAT STUPID STUPID HAIRCUT, ALGERIANS.” (seriously, what was up with those haircuts? Hassan Yebda looked like the friggin’ Last Airbender) […]
Did you know the World Cup is still going on? Crazy, right? I mean, there are like, 4 matches every single day. No, dude, I’m not kidding. Every single day. The reason you probably don’t know this is because the majority of the most anticipated matches start at like, 4 in the morning (or 6, […]
