That thing over there

With just five days to go, I have to admit I'm kind of excited for the World Cup. At least, more so than I ever have been before. Not that I'll actually be watching any of the games (everything's happening while I'm at work), nor could I name a single player on the US team that wasn't featured in this week's Sports Illustrated. But I will probably at least pay attention to what's going on. I may even go out of my way to check scores every once in a while. Apparently, I'm not alone.
