It's still Monday in America, right? So I'm still updating on time, right? Because it's 00:30 here - ugh.
Came home at 10 PM because a friend of ours was playing his first chess tournament and the boyfriend said we should go with him for emotional support or something. And after he was done (lost, unfortunately), they analyzed the game, which ended up with 5 different people playing at the same time. Yeah, I kinda lost track of what exactly happened...
Anyway, that left me with only 2 and a half mindblowing hours to make this strip - fortunately, we turned on the TV and guess what was on? SOCCER!
I don't like soccer. Tried to like it. But that's just never going to happen. I really don't see the appeal. But really, take all the bitchin' with a grain of salt. I don't hate it THAT much. I'm just not that much into the fuzz everybody is making about the world championship lately :)
The joke basically wrote itself, funnily enough. While I scribbled around and was at panel 3, thinking about a proper punchline, Mark was, in fact, blurting out the line-ups for tomorrow. Yay coincidence.
Going to bed now. Enjoy :) Have a nice week!

I was under the impression that the entire population of the USA (aside from those actually on the USA team) agree with the point you are making here.

I totally agree. My opinion of soccer can be summarized in this short segment of one of my favourite TV shows, The IT Crowd. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=711h25l8EjQ&feature=related

I don't dislike soccer, I just don't follow it. Or any sports, really. I can only really enjoy them if it's in person, I get bored watching them on tv. It was actually somewhat of a shock to me to see everybody getting all excited when I was in Australia four years ago while the last one was going on. The only thing I know about this world cup is that England's keeper let a really weak shot get by him in the match against the USA. Don't get me wrong, I love my country, but if our soccer team can even TIE with yours (as USA and England did), you know it sucks.

It's okay, I guess. I mean there's nothing too interesting about it. It's not like it's slamball or anything.

I'm pretty much in the same boat as Prower, but replace Scottish with Welsh :D! On the plus side, it's not like they went out of their way to make it annoying, you know, like maybe they could have introduced some sort of loud obnoxious horn thing for people to blow for no real reason... oh, wait...
Stig Hemmer at 3:50PM, June 14, 2010
Soccer is fun to play. Watching, not so much. But that is why we have Drunkduck. :)
Martin Prower at 3:50PM, June 14, 2010
I'm not a football fan either But being Scottish, it's in my blood to root against England But otherwise, I'm with you on this. Don't like it don't really want to hear about it

Yeah, all this World Cup stuff gets pretty annoying.
