What Else Can You All Care About Less?

As much as I love hockey, I have zero interest in watching the Stanley Cup Finals. Watching two teams play for the Holy Grail of hockey while my team -- the team that should be playing (and winning) if not for a ridiculous-and-almost-comical rash of injuries -- sits at home is akin to watching your smoking-hot ex-girlfriend out on a date with another guy. Who you know, you just know, you're better than. And what's more, watching Carolina actually beating up on Edmonton is akin to watching your smoking-hot ex-girlfriend totally making out with said guy.

So, on to other sports no one in America cares about. Soccer!

At least this year I have the World Cup to take my mind off of all things disappointing. I just selected a Fantasy Soccer Team for the tournament, and for someone who doesn't get a chance to watch a lot of soccer, I'm feeling pretty confident in my team. The stipulations on selecting your team is: you MUST adhere to a 4-4-2 formation and; you are limited to two (2) players from a nation. It's pretty heavy on European players and Premiership players, simply because that's what I know best. So, without further adieu (not Freddy Adoo, he'll play next World Cup) I present Lappin's Rovers:

GK: Dida (Brazil)

FB: Sol Campbell (England) FB: Juan Pablo Sorin (Argentina)
FB: Kolo Toure (Ivory Coast) FB: David Rozehnal (Czech Republic)

MF: Freddie Ljungberg (Sweden) MF: Frankie Lampard (England)
MF: Zinadine Zidane (France) MF: Wesley Sneijder (Netherlands)

ST: Ronaldinho (Brazil) ST: Andrei Shevchenko (Ukraine)
