WCS

World Cup Scarf.  Bunny is making scarves in team colors* for some of the teams in WC2010. 


*"team" colors do not always equal flag colors.

Captain America

Landon Donovan, captain of the USMNT, and attacking mid for the LA Galaxy.  Famous for completely shanking what could have been the game-winning penalty kick of the 2009 MLS Cup Final.  And for feuding with Beckham.  And for attempting to raise his profile by spending the MLS winter break warming the bench during short term loans to European teams.  Everton, this year.


And for this photographic atrocity:

ew ew ew ew ew!



 Lo, how I loathe him.

USMNT

The United States Men's National Team, official name of the USMN soccer football team. 

Listen.  I want to be fair here.  The USMNT is pretty decent and has a few top notch players.  But the rah-rah boosterism of the press coverage they generate makes me wanna hurl.  And certain of the players are inordinately self-important for their talent level.

I hope they do well in South Africa.
