This news that I heard earlier from the BBC earlier today cracks me up. Apparently, some women in the Netherlands and the U.K. are so against their significant others who will be spending time watching football (or soccer) during the World Cup that they are launching online websites to publish their opposition to the upcoming football fever. See websites, www.wegmethetwk.nl and www.stoptheworldcup.co.uk. From these websites, anyone who are opposed to football or the World Cup can select to participate in auction bid for trips to the one place where they can get away from it all, New York City, U.S.A - where football isn't very popular.

Speaking of the World Cup, anyone who will be hosting a World Cup party in the Boston area or know of someone who does, please let me know. I grew up playing soccer but for some reason I am still not a fan of watching 22 men running all over a big field. Nevertheless, any excuse to hang out with mates over beers and TV is a good enough reason to like the World Cup.
