WORLD CUP!! Stanley Cup?

It's ON!!!

It's been so exciting these past weeks ever since the FIFA World Cup started. My German roommate is even more pumped, and has his Team Germany jersy on standby for any games played by Germany ever since. This event has really helped root out all the different ethnic groups that come to UBC, as you can see them filter out into the student pub whenever their country is playing. This is nice, because for the rest of the time, I'm starting to think that 75% of the entire student population is Asian and the rest are White.

Oh wait, there's a Stanley Cup going on, isn't there? Oh, it was Edmonton vs. Carolina. Well, Edmonton isn't playing that well, so there goes my hopes that the Stanley Cup is going home to Canada. Well now that the World Cup is going on, I'm more excited about that, as it's the only truly international sporting event other than the Olympics. It's certainly not like Major League Baseball, which calls their playoffs the World Series - by "World", they mean they have one Canadian team in the league, and a bunch of players from Japan and Latin America.

But most of all, the fans of the female persuasion are much hotter (e.g. wear less clothes) in soccer!
