Seeing as the World Cup starts next week, I thought I’d pick my favourite teams now. Since I don’t follow soccer any other time, my reasons for my choices are based on random reasons. Here are my favourites:
1) Saudi Arabia – Wait, what? They didn’t make the cut this time? Oh. Crap. I guess they were full up with guys laying down on the field and rolling around with one knee up as soon as the game started. Or at least that’s how I remember Saudi Arabia soccer in the 80′s. That and the announcer screaming, “HATHA GOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!”
2) New Zealand – because that’s where the Flight of the Conchords come from, of course. And the All Blacks rugby team. Don’t forget them! I mentioned the All Blacks to one of my friends once, and she thought I was being racist. She doesn’t know about rugby, I guess.
3) Netherlands – Just for the record, that’s Mike’s number 1 choice. For me, I’m choosing them because I love the Amsterdam airport.
4) Slovakia – Ever since I took the photo of some of the Slovakian Hockey Team members during the Olympics this year, I’m a big fan of Slovakia. It also doesn’t hurt that’s where Pavel Demitra is from.
So those are my choices!
And here I thought this wasn’t a sports blog.
A big thank you to Vera for the use of her Cheburashka – the little brown mascot shown above holding the soccer ball. That little guy plays his theme song when you press his hand.
