    Who knew such a boring sport could cause such violence? Although, I've seen people fight each other with broken beer bottles at Nascar races.

    Shit, I did it again, didn't I? Sorry, leaving now.

    Her opinion on sports is pretty much invalid from now on, right?

    I'm so prepared. Flag? Check. Different jerseys? Check. Boy shorts with german flag? Check.

    Now all I need to do is buy some beer and I'm ready to celebrate.

    But the questions is ... do they look good in tight boy shorts?!

    All I'm doing is praying that some team, any team humiliates the English. I can borrow most jerseys, except for the American one, curiously enough.
