If you don’t understand soccer football as much as I don’t, you should be sure to treat yourself to this enlightening and humorous post from CBS Sportsline, “The Ignorant American’s Guide to the World Cup.”
Learn how to pronounce players’ names ahead of time. Do not refer to English team captain David Beckham as “Mr. Posh Spice,” unless you’re watching the game with Ginger or Sporty. Finally, be forewarned: yelling “GOOOOOOOOAAAAALLLLL!” and running around the room with your arms flapping goofily will get you stabbed — justifiably, I might add.
