Top 9 reasons B-HED Loves World Cup Soccer

Welcome to World Cup 19 ladies & gentlemen... who is your pick to take home the phallic, yet coveted trophy?  B-HED not only follows the series, he is emotionally invested in the outcome.
 
Top 9 reasons why B-HED Loves world Cup Soccer (there are 9, as that’s a typically lucky number for players):
 
9.  Unification.  Global scale sports unite people nationally... and gives them the freedom to be angry with people from other countries, for no reason at all.  Precious.
 
8.  Profitability.  It's only once every four years that we can see the sales of mini-car-window-flag stocks take off.  Buy low kids, sell high.
 
7.  Slackers rejoice.  World Cup games in North America air between 7:30am EST and 2:30 EST when most of us slaves to the 9-5 are working.  All of a sudden, no one cares if we watch t.v. All day long.  At work.

6.  Emotional freedom.  Men can finally let loose and cry.  Sure, that's normal.  Your dog dies, your house burns down and your wife leaves you and you stand strong.  But when Ronaldo scored that goal, you weep like a little girl!
 
5.  Acrobatic feats.   It's rare to see such macho men gloriously leap through the air, in the event that another player comes within 1 ft of them.  Where's that yellow card?
 
4.  Open displays of affection.  Most men feel uncomfortable groping other men (not that there’s anything wrong with that).  World Cup soccer is one of the only forums where head holding, hugging and face caressing are not only permitted, they are encouraged.  Play on boys.
 

3. Lessons in sharing.  Most players exchange shirts after the game.  Can you just see it being played out?  "Wow, that was a full 90 min game.  That other player did really well & worked up quite a sweat.  Maybe I should ask to take his shirt home...No, it's ok.  No need to wash it.  I'll take it right off your back."
 
2.  Facebook updates.  What did people talk about before the tournament?  World cup brings people together!  It helps them argue with each other in groups, as opposed to on an individual basis.
 
1. Cheaters & pumpkin eaters.  It's quite refreshing to see professional athletes win at all costs. I thought that was just me.
 
PEACE
