hope springs eternal 2006

In today's espn.com poll, 39% of American residents picked the US to win the World Cup in 2006 while only 33% picked Brazil, proving once again that Americans are the world's most optimistic people. Or the most ignorant about soccer. I suspect it's mostly the latter.

183 days until the World Cup. Huge.

12 hours until the World Cup draw is announced, at which time I'll be stuck in front of my AGU poster. Not so huge.
