Yeah, I'll totally be rooting for Ghana if they win today.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
It's a hell of a football game. Dayum.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm actually watching the World Cup for the first time, rooting for Ghana out of nowhere.
Sorry US!
Man, I love sports. I really, really do. I can't get over watching people win, and the sadness of watching people lose.
And now, tennis and footie over, I can leave the house, maybe.

Two good games today. It really just seemed like Ghana was everywhere and the US just couldn't get it in the goal.

Ditto.
I think one of the reasons I like rooting for the US futbal team is the unity of it; it's the one time most of the Dodgers fans I know are actually rooting with me.

They were! They had the best speed/agility/ball-handling (heh)/passing and general Being Everywhere I've seen in any of the games I've seen (although that's far from all of them). And their keeper is just beast. Damn.
Also, what ita said about sports. Damn, sports, for all the @@, you make me cry in all the good ways.

Sports gives me a chance to be passionate and silly and biased and ridiculous and nuts and hard-headed without any real-life ramifications. It's where I can lose myself and find myself.

Well, with the five Francophone teams down, and now the US, I guess I'm going back to my old sweethearts from '98, the Netherlands.
