World Cup Haircuts

*sigh*

Japan fucked it up.

Yanks won.

*sigh*

It was comical. The pre-game commentary was dominated by talk of how arrogant the American team has always been. They even brought on an Aussie girl who played against the Yanks in this tournament to confirm that they're still as arrogant as ever. I believe her words were, "Of course, it's that arrogance that makes them America."

Then they came out and scored twice in the first five minutes.

Then they scored twice more in the next ten minutes.

And that was Japan pretty much fucked.

Amazingly, it still turned out to be a pretty decent game. Even though the result was never in doubt, the Japs never stopped fighting, which kept things exciting. At the very least, I didn't fall asleep, and that has to tell you something.

I guess it's something of a consolation that the Krauts beat the Poms for third place.

A very small consolation.

The other positive thing I'm taking away from this tournament is a small collection of players' haircuts which caught my attention.

Whadda'ya reckon 'bout short back and sides come summertime, ay?
