World Cup=The Bomb

Although I mentioned two posts back about my hatred of sports and athletics, being the hypocrite that I am, can’t help but be enthralled by the FIFA World Cup 2010 (gotta love that corporate sponsorship in the title). Regardless of the fact that my boyfriend, Cristiano, is playing this year and need to watch in his support, soccer is a fast, exciting game, and is especially suspenseful when it is on a global level. And while everyone says they want the US to win, you can’t help but develop a fanfare for one of the foreign teams. And for some reason, I’ve definitely seen a pattern between personalities and fan bases of each of the World Cup teams. Below is my list of what kind of person you’ll be seeing with pom-poms for each soccer team:


• France: The power-hungry CEO who doesn’t let anyone get in their way and could give a crap about anyone. They’re a type A personality, orderly, and when they make a mistake, just can’t seem to admit ownership for their wrong doing.

• Brazil: The funny person who loves potty humor (Hello? Their lead player’s last name is Kaka. Let’s be honest).

• Greece: The guy who breaks all of the rules and doesn’t understand why people get mad when they do. Their debit account is totally empty and getting audited is an expectation during tax season. Anyone who supports Greece is also usually very good looking (usually).

• North Korea: Do you pay for your friends? Like to eat dukbuhka? Are a commi? If you answered yes to any of these, you’re probably a North Korea supporter, and we probably know very little about you.

• Paraguay: The person who never finishes a task until it’s done. They’re super fast, very high energy, and will do what it takes to get the job finished. Think marathon runner. They also love rocking out to Daddy Yankee.

• Italy: They’re probably from Rhode Island and cried when they won last year. They gel their hair, drive an old Lexus with an Italian flag emblem, and did laps around Federal Hill after their glory four years ago. They then got hungry, and proceeded to sit down for a full meal at Gepetto’s at midnight.

• Slovenia: No smiles for this fan. They’re rigid, straight, and probably some sort of chemist.

• Portugal: Also probably from Rhode Island and cried when they lost (if you watched the news, they actually lowered flags in Bristol and Fall River, funny enough). If you’re watching this team, you love hot guys. But, sorry ladies, the boy is mine.



And while everyone is debating who will take the Cup this year (is there literally a cup?), I think it’s a safe bet to say that Brazil is going to kill it. But, don’t worry, I’ll be there to comfort Cristiano.
