I really hope this doesn't piss anyone off, but I find it humorous. Kind of supports Spooks' view of Americans as selfish and arrogant - except for this one guy. For those that may not be familiar with The Onion, it is supposed to be satirical.

For the record, while I will not be getting up early to watch, I will be rooting for the USA under-dogs with my 9 year old who is showing signs of being a very talented goalie.

And more on the vague Shrek theme introduced by Lukyan Lyubof.
As if it weren't bad enough they are poisoning our kids with sodium and fat content. They haven't heard of product testing I suppose.
