Winners and Losers of the World Cup Week
Two weeks until the start of the World Cup and we’re so excited that we just can’t hide it. The past week was an eventful one with teams beginning to train and one exhibition match after another. Along the journey, we introduced you to the players’ significant others, reported on the soap opera known as France’s training camp, broke the news that Oliver Kahn can’t come into your bedroom and helped you learn all kinds of medical terms and injuries. We also talked a bit about football. Here are the winners and losers from the past week.
Winners
Scan machines: Those medical marvels are working non-stop, bringing such joy and sorrow to players and fans around the world.
Significant others: It is not easy being a football wife, but we salute those who give it a try.
Sharon Stone: She gets a ringing endorsement from Portugal’s players.
National Anthems: Please rise and sing along to some of these catch and not so catchy World Cup tunes.
Physicists: We don’t understand a word they say, but thankfully there are videos that do all the talking we need.
Losers
Gregory Coupet: You’re the backup. Get over it, man. Life could be worse.
The Roundest Ball: Doesn’t get much love from the keepers, but boy is it round and hypnotizing.
Couples everywhere: You can’t count on the Olli K. anymore to spice up your love life.
The Geographically challenged: You have no excuse not to be able to locate Angola on the map now.
