After much anticipation, the 2006 World Cup is set to begin tomorrow.
In order to whet your appetite, here are a couple video montages from YouTube. (Please note: The visuals are amazing, but the music is a little too Eurotrashy for my tastes. Proceed with the mute button handy.)
First, an amazing set of clips highlighting the skills of Ronaldinho, the best player in the game today.
Second, a montage of the Brazilian team, the reigning champions and the odds-on favorites to win again.
Last, but certainly not least, a nice set of highlights from Team USA.
The U.S. has a really tough road ahead of them, with a placement in the Group of Death alongside powerhouses like Italy and the Czech Republic, and it's a real possibility they might not advance out of the first round. Of course, that's what it looked like last time, too, and they stunned the world with an impressive run.
If I were any more pumped for the Cup, I'd probably stroke out from pure joy.

Alright, I've watched the US one three times now. Let's do this thing.
Add this video to the list...
Hilarious.
That's it for me on the World Cup, I officially don't care...
I think I will pump myself up by watching the Pele/Cain/Stallion classic soccer movie "Victory" and then the holigan movie with Elijah Wood "Green Street Holigans". From that cue I will then go throw old batteries at some tossers who root for Arsenal.
Where I'm sitting, the World Cup starts a little over than half an hour, and I'm stoked. (I never thought my team would be in the Stanley Cup Playoffs at the same time as the World Cup started, but I guess the sporting gods have smiled upon me.)
I'm saving my batteries for Saturday morning, when we go watch the England match at a Brooklyn pub. It's a little known fact, but the worst hooligans have been deported to Williamsburg.
