I’ve got a fever and the only prescription is more VUVUZELA

Am I slightly World Cup obsessed? Why, yes, yes I am. Let’s put it this way, when my 5 years of free mystery cable disappeared in March, I was ok with it.

Then, I couldn’t get the cable installed fast enough.

And thank the baby jeebus, World Cup 2010 has not disappointed. I’m not talking about the games, though they have been thrilling. Until the 12th, I was excited about the games, but not completely invested in any particular teams since Colombia didn’t qualify.

But then, during the national anthems for the UK/US match, the cameras panned over the US team and introduced me to this:

I have never felt so damn patriotic in my life.

Never one to be chained down by one country, Uruguay is also receiving some support:

Diego Forlan

I might even cheer on France:

Yoann Gourcuff

Oh, soccer. Americans don’t know what they are missing.

And once more just because:
