    Fyi

    The World Cup has begun.

    On going discussion here.

    South Africa is miraculously beating Mexico right now. If you don't follow US soccer, we hate Mexico like the MFY.

    US plays England Saturday at 2:30 on ABC.

    We just do.

    Soccer is the one thing Mexico had that was better then America. Then we took that from them in the 2002 World Cup.

    Also, they really hated Coby Jones for some reason. We took offense.

    If we lose every game from here on out do we get the first pick in next year's soccer draft??

    Kidding aside....I "work" with folks from Mexico and England, in that I speak to them everyday on the phone and also travel there(England only once so far though). So this will be a cool experience to discuss the World Cup with them, especially since we are playing England. They have said that all of England will come to a halt 7:30 Saturday their time.

    I've been to a soccer game in Mexico..Monterrey vs Mexico City....was craaaazy!!!

    I heard that the Mexican fans boo anything USA-related during soccer games.

    I guess they'll be even madder if we end up playing them somehow during the World Cup.
