"World Cup off to a good start ..." Topic

The one player the cameras focused on during England's national anthem said "King" at the end.

Which is what he should have said, nicht wahr?

Yeah, and it's been time. Still, singing the national anthem is one of those things where you may or may not be thinking as much as on autopilot. And everyone's autopilot has the wrong word.

It's like writing the wrong date on your checks (for those of you who know what a check is) after the new year. Most people don't have that problem in January, because they are very conscious. In February, you go back on autopilot and mess it up.

It's a more interesting thing to talk to about than a 6-2 win.

Even at 2-0, the Dutch game was tense up until the last fifteen or so when Senegal went into panic mode, down 1-0.

And I'm not a fan of talking about not sports during sports. Partially because depending on how far off topic the French and Spanish announcers go, I lose the thread easily…

Is this the thing where you can't have beer?

You would think a beer ban makes Budweiser safe but I would have completely pulled sponsorship immediately and headed home.

What about Brats? I'm from the Midwest and we like our tailgating and Brats.

The venue backed out of a number of promises in the last couple of days.

And everyone's autopilot has the wrong word.

Doesn't the National Anthem start off, "Jose can you see?"
