I watched the World Cup Soccer game between England and Uruguay Thursday night with my friend Mark (see photograph above). Mark works at the University of Denver's Anderson Academic Commons, which used to be Penrose Library before DU remodeled the place and changed the name (evidently DU students are deathly afraid of any place where a lot of books might be located). Mark is a big fan of England's soccer team, and explained all the rules to me during the game, although the fact that England lost big time and was eliminated from the tournament needed no explanation. In baseball, Chicago Cubs fans are able to say "wait until next year." However, in World Cup Soccer, fans will have to wait another 4 years for England to start losing again. If only Cubs fans had that luxury.
