Hump Day at the World Cup?
Wednesday being “Hump Day” at the World Cup for a number of reasons.
The first being of course England and the US trying to get over “the hump.”
Second being, since the English coach has forbidden any extracurricular events involving sex and/or alcohol for his team so far in the tourney, either result may put the Brits “over the hump.”
–
With France out, England hopes they can salvage their own World Cup first round with a win Wednesday. The English coach, however, has banned alcohol from the team’s accommodations and training facility. Doesn’t he realize for that Brits, beer is a performance enhancing drug?
–
Au revoir “les blues.” Can we say the French team just handed matches to their opponents?
–
Or as Gary Morton says, “The French are toast.”
–
Will the theme of the once highly rated French team at this year’s World Cup be “Waterloo?”

–
Okay, since he basically committed premeditated career suicide with his Rolling Stones’ interview, anybody want to lay odds on how long it will take for General Stanley McChrystal to sign a contract as a commentator for Fox News?
