That's the most disturbing logo I've ever seen. Anyway, the World Cup final is under way. Italy vs. France. Pizza vs. Beignets. Espresso vs. Evian. Leaning Tower of Pisa vs. the Eiffel Tower!
I played soccer as a kid and loved it. Center forward, bitches! The scorer. Hells yeah! I even was a referee for years in my youth. I was really into the sport and watched the World Cup and international matches when they aired. This was the time of Maradona in Argentina. Arguably the best player in the world at the time. Over the years, and probably because I live in the U.S.A., soccer lost it's charm. It's the most popular sport in the world. Except here. If we didn't invent it, then we don't want it!
Whom am I rooting for? Well, I work in a French restaurant. I was not one of those idiots who wanted to change the name of french fries to freedom fries. (Even though fries are Belgian in origin.) I love wine from Bordeaux. Crepes. Mmmmmmm. However, love pizza, spaghetti, history of the Roman Empire, etc.
French are stereotypically rude, smelly and self entitled. (Yet someone always bails their asses out in war.) Italians are stereotypically sexist. Probably due to the fact that they ruled the world so many years under the Roman Empire.
I'm gonna go with Italy. That's all we need. The French to win and think they're ever more superior than they actually believe they are. Don't hate on me! I'm not the country whose Board of Tourism put up signs asking the natives to be nice to tourists. And, there's a little town in Italy called Aquino. St. Thomas Aquinas is from there. Hey, I could be the descendent of a Saint! I'm holy! Plus. Monica Belluci is Italian. That settles it.
Viva Italia!
VIVA ITALIA! what a great game! 48 months until South Africa 2010! Cya all again then!

Yeah, the logo's either really psychedelic or really gay. Is there s’pposed to be a ‘2’ in there somewhere? Cause I held it 6 inches from my face & looked at it w/ my eyes crossed & everything. All I got was a headache, but I still couldn’t see the ‘2’ for the ‘2006’!
