miss of the world cup

even my grandma could prod it in. or maybe not. but i'm sure an overweight ronaldo can get his fat foot to it properly.

besides argentina's 6-0 victory over serbia and montenegro, this year's world cup hasn't set too many hearts pulsating. with england just through to the quarter-finals thanks to a mundane 1-0 win over ecuador using even more mundane tactics choreographed by an ultra-mundane manager (sven goran e-dick-sson), i don't have much hope that it'll turn into a firecracker of a tournament. most of the excitement surrounding the world cup is built around intensive media hype. i do hope the adventurous teams win the ultimate prize. by that, i mean germany, argentina, probably spain, and of course my fav team italy. which, i know, is an irony. if you know football, you'll know what i mean. ;)
