Just watrching USA playing football against the Czech Republic in the FIFA
World Cup (soccer to those in the US, and incidentally USA is currently
losing 2-0), and it got me wondering how the team came about. We don't hear
about it being played in schools, only American football and baseball.
I love the Budweiser adverts peppered around the two halves of the game.
Budweiser are obviously part sponsors of the whole tournament and are poking
fun at the US generally not understanding the game. It's two US "sports
reporters" commenting on it, eg (1) "Did you know that this Fifa World Cup
has teams from different countries playing?" Obvious reference to the US
World Series. (2) "Did you see that? The ball hit one player on the head,
bounced and then hit another player on the head! What are the odds against
that happening?" (3) "Those rookies look as if they've just left
kindergarten." "They're mascots." (4) "4, 9, 7, 1, 8" "Are you working out a
play strategy?" "No Soduko."
