man, micko, you got issues. let go of the injustices of the past, and allow me to create new ones for you.

1.) Team America (Fuck Yeah!) doesn't deserve the Cup. Yet.

2.) Portugal has a shot at it, and we all love a winner, or at least a contender. it's also my little tribute to the supermodel, yes, even though she doesn't yet know where my rooting interests lie. 

3.) Perhaps i'd root for the fearsome Shire team...but they didn't qualify. at least not for the Cup tourney...although i understand a few players were painted orange and used as traffic cones outside the stadiums, so that's something.
