Our Man Stretford Is Pumped and Primed and Raring to Go
What the title says, really.
While we agonize and wonder who’ll get the bids, The Stretford End will be here around 9.30a ET tomorrow to liveblog the entire proceedings. He’ll keep an eye on the voting, the ESPN coverage, and your comments!
Despite all our pessimism and complete lack of faith in the FIFA process, we’re all thinking and rooting for a World Cup in the USA in 2022—maybe a couple of us hope for England in 2018, but we know that’s not happening. Two English-language World Cups back-to-back? Pfft. And this time tomorrow, we’ll either be celebrating or commiserating. At least we’ll be drunk either way.
So join us whenever you’re able. Bring your best Sepp Blatter jokes, apocalyptic rants, and generally flawless banter.
We will?! I will?! CRAP!!!
/surprised how close to reality that photo is
Cousin bids winning would be great.
TSE looks like he wears sock garters–something Sepp supports wholeheartedly.
Time?…
I’ll be online at 9:30 a.m. EST/6:30 a.m. PST.
Will Stret be wearing tighter shorts with the garters and suspenders? Bad idea #10 lives!
@TSE: at least you’re not liveblogging the presentations: thought I saw where some of them start @ 3 am
@OM: I would just stay up if I were stupid enough to do that. I am not, so I won’t.
.
@Goat: In fact, I’m wearing sock garters now… and NOTHING ELSE!
@TSE: Why do you want to make Baby Jesus cry?
I’m gonna wake up tomorrow to news that will shape my future… that’s pretty cool.
I’m not gonna go to some reputable news site for the news though. I’m not even gonna read TSE’s liveblog (no offense). I’m gonna scroll through the comments on this fine website.
@Tno: EXTRA DEAD TO ME!!!!1!!!1
WOO, BELGIUM-NETHERREGIONS’ PRESENTATION BEGINS IN 14 MINUTES.
liveblog will NOT be staying up for the next 4 hours to watch this. I’m on Pacific time. See you at 9:30. Oh, and listen to the podcast. Special overnight posting!
Blech. I can’t even watch more than 5 or 10 minutes of these things. So overly sentimental and fake.
I’ll be with you on LA time, Stretford. World history class tomorrow, but this is it for the day. Christmas wish: May I be able to travel to the lucky two countries.
That is exactly how I’ve always pictured TSE.
