Drinking From The Cup

Yesterday the US Men's National Team won the CONCACAF Gold Cup (that's Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football) going to penalty kicks and beating Panama. Our boys were stoked, especially Frankie "Duuuuude" Hejduk, after Brad Davis converted the game winning PK, to have won the title and the privilege of calling themselves the Best Team in North America (take that, Mexico!) but, as one of the coolest movie characters ever once said, "Well, let's not go sucking each other's dicks yet." (for 5 I-66 Blogger points, name that character [first and last name] and movie, 7 points if you're a female)

We scored nary a goal against an inferior Panama side in 2 full halves and 2 extra times (that's 120 minutes of soccer, by the way). The defense looked a bit dodgy at times and the attack didn't seem to have a lot of flow to it. I wouldn't call the group of guys The Bruce (coach Bruce Arena) put out there the B-Team, but it wasn't the A-Team - call it AB - and we know that the best we put forward should be significantly better, but this was still a little disconcerting to see the Panamanians creating so many chances. Hopefully The Bruce will get it all sorted out before we face Mexico in World Cup Qualifying.

And Kenny Arena sucks.

7 points for Sara, well done. Ladies with knowledge of Pulp Fiction are much appreciated. And The Wolf was absolutely cool.

So pretty please, with sugar on top, clean the f--king car.

Robin, you'd be surprised. I've more women that haven't seen it/liked it than ones that have -- the reason for the women getting more points on that one. There will be other opportunities to win points... only I haven't yet figured out for what they can be redeemed.

So what about you, Lash LaRue? Think you can keep your spurs from jingling and jangling?

I never said Kenny Arena was good.

And can I get 2 pts for Pulp Fiction? Hah.

I know, you never did say he was good but, as pertains to any mention of Kenny Arena, Chris Albright, Brian Carroll or David Stokes, I must offer the opinion.

More opportunities to earn points will be had... I still haven't decided what they can be redeemed for.
