Bleh... stop blathering and start drawing little balls.

 

I'm good with 45 more minutes of delay.

On your passed out friends face?

A giant red and black sun just crashed in South Africa.

i've had the tv muted for about 15 minutes now. definitely don't give a [expletive] about this ridiculous looking band or dance ensemble or whatever the hell this is.

Come ON, South Africa's group

I really don't fear France at all.

I don't fear them either, but I'd rather avoid them than Slovakia/Slovenia/Switzerland/Greece.

 

I suppose as long as they avoid Portugal, it's not bad.

 

EDIT: And the draw is starting...now!

 

EDIT 2: Never mind, ESPN lied and it doesn't start for 45 minutes.

 

I wonder when the actual draw starts. Mostly curious to what will be going on in 80 minutes when I leave for lunch and if I can catch any of it on tv.

According to the live draw chat, the actual draw starts at 12:45 ET and will last 3 hours.

 

Three hours!?!?!?! How's that even possible? Is there going to be a dissertation regarding the relative strengths of each country's GDP compared to the football club?

Pretend you have the runs, tell your boss you have to leave to get some meds. Then hit up a sports bar.

 

Right now I'm on fifa.com just to watch the gamecast version of it.

google image search "charlize doesn't look as good anymore", picture a mashed up episode of deal or no deal and secret password, then just let us tell you what happens.

is this the technical emmy's or something?

[TruffleShuffle]

apparently it takes 75 people to pick balls out of a hopper or whatever the hell they do.

[TruffleShuffle]

ahhh [expletive] mexico

[USSoccer]

OH COME ON

It's a three hour show on ESPN so I'm guessing the actual draw won't start until at least 2 p.m. ET.
