Before re-capping Sunday’s action, a few preliminary matters first.

The Zionist’s Guide to the World Cup (ZGWC) would be the first to state that it does not possess the gift of prophecy.  However, in its review of Group J, the following pronouncement appeared:

“It is difficult for the ZGWC to conjure up anything positive to say about Algeria.”

After the Argentinian team, led by the brilliant Lionel Messi, handed the Algerian squad a 3-nil drubbing. According to a report in the Jerusalem Post, Algerian sports analyst Mustafa Mazzouzi stated on their national TV broadcast that a “Jewish lobby” manufactured the Algerian defeat and insured that the Polish referee favored Messi.  “Messi is protected by the Jewish lobby,”  Mazzouzi said, “This lobby controls the world, they run it however they want as if they were the mafia.”

There you have it, folks.  Algeria’s next game is Monday against Jordan.  The Algerians should be favored, but the ZGWC will begrudgingly look for the Chivalrous Ones to prevail.

The second preliminary matter involves the putative adoption of John Denver’s song “Country Roads” as the theme song for the USMNT.  While the ZGWC is okay with the idea of a national team song to be sung by the crowds before, during, and after US team matches, the ZGWC would prefer something a little more edgy, a little more combative.

How about, for instance, something by The Ramones–a classic American band?  The ZGWC suggests “Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue.”  Imagine, if you will, the entire stadium in Seattle singing this Ramones tune after a stunning U.S. victory.

Not belligerent enough?  Why not “Coup d’Etat” by the Circle Jerks?  If nothing else, this song will inspire fisticuffs between virile U.S........
