Ah, football. Eleven men on each side fighting it out on the gridiron. The pinnacle of human endeavor. Sadly that's not what this thread is about.

Instead we're here to talk about soccer.

Yes, it's World Cup time and the :911: is competing. Yes, my fellow Americans, apparently this is thing. Foreigners with functional governments seem to like it so it can't be that bad. I even hear that it's played by professionals in some of our larger cities. And our smaller cities too. Yeah, I know, right?

All kidding aside, there's not much to remember about Team :911: in the World Cup. In fact, I'll show you the only two moments where we've ever mattered. Both involve Landon Donovan.

FORWARDS

Was thinking of a way to make an epic geopolitics joke about beating Iran then realized that I don't actually want to do that.

It's interesting watching American responses to just being not very good at a sport.

Look, give us a break, we can't possibly live up to English standards of failing at soccer. And especially not the moaning that comes afterward.

You only adapted being poo poo at footie, we were born into it, moulded by it.

It's true, we can't possibly develop anything on the level of 2006 Wayne Rooney any time soon.
