Well I'm English so obviously I have to believe that, really, this time, we've got a chance. And absolutely refuse to contemplate any other winners until we get knocked out.

You are placed in the toughest group.
Honestly, if you make it past this group, I'm sure you will be able to quite well this World Cup.

Here in the US we crown champions as World Champions (baseball, football, basketball) even though we don't participate with the rest of the world. You're idea of "World" Cup including many different countries is such a silly idea.

American by birth, but German by heritage. I go with Germany.
Germany finished a strong third in 2010. I liked their patient, methodical play.
What we got here is a failure to communicate

A man staggered into a hospital with a concussion, multiple bruises, two black eyes, and a five iron wrapped tightly around his throat.
Naturally, the Doctor asked him, 'What happened to YOU?'
'Well, I was having a quiet round of golf with my wife, when at a difficult hole, we both sliced our golf balls into a field of cattle.
We went to look for them and while I was looking around I noticed one of the cows had something white at its rear end.'
'I walked over, lifted its tail, and sure enough, there was a golf ball with my wife's monogram on it - stuck right in the mid dle of the cow's fanny.
Still holding the cow's tail up, I yelled to my wife, 'Hey, this looks like yours!''
'I don't remember much after that'....

"...stuck right in the mid dle of the cow's fanny."
Really?
That must have been some shot.
Or perhaps you do not know what a fanny is.
It isn't what you think it is!

Huh, I didn't actually know the US and British English got out of sync on that one. Seems like quite a cockup.

I remember seeing a bugs bunny cartoon in which bugs was a customer in a diner and daffy duck the waiter.
At one point bugs yelled out "Hey, get your feathered fanny over here".

A lot of the American cartoons of the time had a lot of strange language for something intended for children to watch.

I would agree with you but then we both would be wrong.

I have a different one regarding a cow's tail.
Two peasants meet on the street. One of them has a black eye.
The other one asks: "Hey, what happened to you?"
The embarrassed explaination from the first one: "I was milking a cow. She was constantly waving her tail hitting me in the face. So I figured that if I bound a brick to her tail, she wouldn't be able to wave it anymore. Unfortunately, I was wrong."
The good thing about pessimism is, that you are always either right or pleasently surprised.

I saw a beautiful young farmer's daughter walking down the road with a bull.
This buxom wench looked so nice I asked her if she would like to come back to my place for 'a good time'.
She said she had to take the bull to impregnate the cows.
"Can't the farmer do that?" I asked.
"Oh No", she said, "It has to be the bull".

Movie Quote Of The Day
Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into our side, Chief. We was comin' back from the island of Tinian to Leyte... just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in twelve minutes. Didn't see the first shark for about a half an hour. Tiger. Thirteen footer. You know, you know that when you're in the water, chief? You tell by lookin' from the dorsal to the tail. Well, we didn't know. 'Cause our bomb mission had been so secret, no distress signal had been sent, huh. They didn't even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, chief. The sharks come cruisin'. So we formed ourselves into tight groups. You know it's... kinda like 'ol squares in battle like uh, you see on a calendar, like the battle of Waterloo. And the idea was, the shark goes to the nearest man and then he'd start poundin' and hollerin' and screamin' and sometimes the shark would go away. Sometimes he wouldn't go away. Sometimes that shark, he looks right into you. Right into your eyes. You know the thing about a shark, he's got... lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eye. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin'. Until he bites ya and those black eyes roll over white. And then, ah then you hear that terrible high pitch screamin' and the ocean turns red and spite of all the poundin' and the hollerin' they all come in and rip you to pieces. Y'know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men! I don't know how many sharks, maybe a thousand! I don't know how many men, they averaged six an hour. On Thursday mornin' chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player, Bosun's Mate. I thought he was asleep, reached over to wake him up. Bobbed up and down in the water, just like a kinda top. Up ended. Well... he'd been bitten in half below the waist. Noon the fifth day, Mr. Hooper, a Lockheed Ventura saw us, he swung in low and he saw us. He's a young pilot, a lot younger than Mr. Hooper, anyway he saw us and come in low. And three hours later a big fat PBY comes down and start to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened? Waitin' for my turn. I'll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went in the water, three hundred and sixteen men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb.
