World Cup - Let The Games Begin!

Filed under: Korea — Jeff in Korea at 1:29 pm on Friday, June 9, 2006

In the final hours before the start of the 2006 World Cup, Soccer (aka Football) Fever is taking hold at my office.  Here are a few of the World Cup - related insights shared during lunch today by some of my office workers:

  1. Ghana beat Korea because Africans are taller.
  2. Brazil would have a difficult time beating Korea.
  3. America got a lucky break because they have an easy group.
  4. Korea will either win or be #2 overall.
  5. The secret to being a good soccer team is eating pork…Brazil, Germany, Korea are all great soccer teams and they eat pork.  Turkey and other Muslim countries don’t eat pork, and they are not good at soccer.  The connection is obvious.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!!

Here’s something from my book. Any team from America’s Group E could take at least second place when placed in Group G. Amen.

Wow! I see that your coworkers take lots of mind-altering substances before they come in…

6. Kimchi related flatulence allows Koreans to jump higher in order to head the ball before their opponents have a chance.

I guess the Korean team lost to Turkey last time out because they didn’t load up on samgyeopsal before the game.
