Back when I first started this stupid blog I did a bunch of posts about futbol<\/a> and World Cup. I haven’t really kept that up but that doesn’t mean I am no longer a fan, far from it. Actually, I haven’t kept up much about this blog so it just fits in with the pattern. I’ve been trying to work on a final post about Grand Central Market, in which I just give up on the fresh pile of poop it has become but it fills me with so much anger that I don’t want to touch it. Anger and poop, not something I want to deal with after a full day at work. And since I work downtown, I already deal with both.<\/p>\n

So here instead is some light fare,\u00a0 a flashback to my fun interests outside of hating and criticizing everything. I went out to see the USA vs Germany game at a bar, how exciting! Above we see the alley way that connects Lucky Baldwins<\/a> and Kings Row<\/a> in Pasadena, the two places were packed but the streets seemed pretty empty. I guess all the American losers decided to go to work instead, always the wrong choice.<\/p>\n

Uhh, does that qualify as hating? Oh well, fuck it.<\/p>\n

We came here recently for another World Cup game, it was a nice setup. But this 9am start must have been difficult for Kings Row since they didn’t open the doors til about 10 min before kickoff and they asked us to wait a bit before we started ordering munchies. Eventually we got our breakfast beers. Nothing beats being on vacation.<\/p>\n

Also a pretty decent breakfast burro with eggs, cheese, and fries. Big enough to split.<\/p>\n

The game was actually quite boring, with the US looking like some AYSO children’s squad, losing the ball constantly and having no cohesive goal scoring strategies other than the sapo kick. Plus they did stupid things like bumping into the ref or your own teammate.<\/p>\n

US team is good at crying on the field.<\/p>\n

\"wc_injury2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Boo hoo. Mommy, can we go get pizza now?<\/p>\n

They let in a goal and Germany was up ahead, as expected. Attention seemed to shift towards the Portugal-Ghana game instead, the only hope of the US pulling into the next round.
