Saturday U.S. World Cup Gathering

Saturday is the World Cup match between Italy and the U.S. and I am inviting The Lodge to come watch the game at my place, followed by some time kicking around the soccer ball a block away in the Greenlake grass. We can BBQ some lunch at halftime & see if Goose's half-Italian blood turns on his country. I'll supply the beer & whiskey. Hell, Jayne is even welcome to root on his home country.

USA vs. ITA
  • Kick Off Time:
  • Venue: 2.0 Condo
  • What To Bring: Meat for BBQ
Great article about the U.S. squad's first round loss on Monday by the Onion. Man, they do it right. But seriously, this Saturday's match is a must win game if the Americans want to move on in the tournament. Hopefully Arena will shake up the lineup and maybe Landon Donovan will show up more than just in spirit this time around. It'll be interesting to see if Totti plays after leaving Italy's last match.

nice pic as always... unfortunately I'll be watching from my cottage/hotel room in Walla Walla as I prepare for serious Vino intake this weekend...I still want to experience the international flare of kicking around the football a la lac de vert

Joe...My 1/2 Italian 1/2 Irish background taught me how to cook and fight....however my loyalty always runs red white and blue.

Unless Jamaica is playing, as I now have enough Appletons Rum in my blood to make me 1/32nd Jamaician.

It is the Spirit of Jamaica
