In 2014, I was with some friends watching The FIFA World Cup and they asked me to pick a team. I had no interest in soccer. I picked Uruguay, because I really liked their light blue uniforms. Everyone said Uruguay really... They went on to do pretty good.
shareI almost won the Euro 2004 office pool. I picked Greece as the winner and they won. I came second. Another guy had both the finalist. Portugal was the losing team. Greece winning was a big upset and I have no idea why I picked them as I have no idea about soccer.

Where's the emoji for "vomiting"?
EDIT: Found it. 🤮
Taking my young son to a college (where I worked) football game on his birthday when a snafu occurred and a ref accidentally got tackled. I'll never forget his hilarity at that moment. Plus, I surprised him with a genuine Swiss Army Knife on the way home from that event. Just one of those memorable dad/son bonding moments.
shareI've been to Spain during 1998 FIFA World Cup. I had no interest in the matches, so I went out to buy groceries. All of a sudden, the main street was full of Dutch people, all wearing orange colors, all eager to get drunk as fast as possible. Countless free drinks followed, only because my shirt happened to be orange too.
shareThey had a sweepstake where my wife works for one of the World Cups and one of the young girls got Chile. She was convinced that it didn’t exist as a country and that it was all part of a joke. The staff couldn’t believe what they were hearing.
sharelol that too funny.
And theres plenty of countries with funnier names than that she can not believe in , most didnt qualify for world cup though.
I was in stitches when my wife told me. The girl in question insisted that it was a spice and not a real country. My wife (originally from Indonesia) said, “don’t they teach anything in your schools.”
shareThere's a growing percentage of Americans who can't locate New York on a U.S. map. The dumbing-down of our society continues.
shareI was on the tennis team in high school. We were like the Bad News Bears of tennis. We never won a meet. After one particularly savage rout we were all laughing and having a good time on the bus trip back. Our coach lost his shit and rebuffed us in high dudgeon. "How can you guys laugh when you just lost so badly?" Chastised, we hung our heads ... for maybe 5 minutes before we were right back to being happy and having a good time. Our coach quit after that. We went through 3 coaches in one season.
