Watching the World Cup final match this afternoon. I'm not exactly sure why. Maybe it's because the announcers claim the game is being broadcast to over a billion viewers worldwide. A BILLION viewers!!!

I'm not really sure who to root for. I don't know anything about either team, so all I have to go with are the countries they represent...

**Italy**
Every player's name ends with a vowel
Beautiful country
Great coffee and wine
Fellini

**France**
Most of the players seem to hail from former French colonies
(I didn't even know France was a soccer powerhouse??)
Beautiful country
Great coffee and wine
Truffaut

I must be a typical American...I don't see the appeal of watching a ball being kicked around a field for 90 minutes.
