Pop Culture Cuisinart

will commence in 10 days. The World Cup, which most Americans regard with a level of interest somewhere between curling and competitive eating, will get under way in Germany. I suggest that this is an occasion for us to get hip to the thinking of the rest of the world. The US is ranked 5th in the world in the most recent FIFA rankings and has an excellent chance for a fine showing at these Cup Finals. Hey, we Americans love a winner and this team just might take us farther than we've ever gone before. So hop on the bandwagon before the team starts winning and impress everyone with your foresight. And while you're at it catch some of the Cup action on TV as all 64 matches will be televised in the US.


Can striker Landon Donovan lead the US to Cup glory?
