Altamira was watching SkySports in the common room, as Argentina jumped out to an early lead over the Americans...

"Motherfucking son of a bitch!" Rachel shouted at the television "Johnson you moron, you're supposed to catch the ball."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Feb 02, 2011 10:14 pm

"You might be a little outclassed here, Rachel," Altamira smiled.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Wed Feb 02, 2011 10:17 pm

"Well see about that." Rachel said "Their defense is sloppy and ours is pretty good. The only question is if their offense is good enough that it doesn't make a difference. Plus, it doesn't help that our mid-field is getting long in the tooth."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Feb 02, 2011 10:33 pm

"And the coaches son is still starting for you, hrm? It's like rec league!

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Wed Feb 02, 2011 10:34 pm

"You did see the friendly we had against Spain in '19, right?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Feb 02, 2011 10:36 pm

"That was like three years ago, and we didn't have de Gea in goal OR Pedro at striker. Just you see.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Wed Feb 02, 2011 11:15 pm

"I'm aware. I'm just saying that the 2 goals he scored show why that taunt is pointless."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Feb 02, 2011 11:16 pm

"I think it's cute that you guys pretend to care every four years."

"Where are you getting your sterotypes from?" Rachel asked "1992? Soccer may still be a niche sport, but its got a good following. I mean, FC Phoenix sells out most of their games."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 12:01 am

"I suppose I should know about that, shouldn't I?" she giggled.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 12:09 am

"Yeah, you should talk to them about doing publicity." Rachel said, giggling "Or else just start wearing their jersey."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 12:20 am

"Somehow, that seems like a bit of a misuse of my powers," she laughed.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 12:24 am

"Are you saying that futbol isn't of cosmic importance?"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 12:29 am

"I'm afraid so."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 12:38 am

"You're probably.......holy shit!" Rachel said "Come on! Come on! Yes! You can do it!"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 12:41 am

"I haven't noticed a holier aspect there," she teased, as the US made a quick series of passes down the field

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 1:01 am

"Come on, come on....." Rachel said, willing the ball into the net. Which, sadly, was not her secondary mutation "Fuck! Jozy! Its called the back of the net!"

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 1:09 am

"The day Jozy finally learns how to score, I think the world might in fact end," Mira teased.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 1:49 am

"Yes, yes, mock my pain."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 1:56 am

"OK!"

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 1:59 am

"I'll remember this when Spain goes down like a cheerleader on prom night."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 2:07 am

"Do you care to wager on that, my friend?"

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 2:15 am

"Why not." Rachel said with a grin.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 2:18 am

"What shall we say the stakes are, and what are your terms?"

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 2:27 am

"How about....if Spain is knocked out first, you have to wear US colors for the rest of the Cup, and vice versa."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 2:28 am

"Ooooh, that might conflict with my uniform...

Still, it won't happen, so you have yourself a deal!"

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 2:29 am

"And if they get knocked out at the same time, we'll just go out and get drunk."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 2:39 am

"I am afraid we would need it, if that were to happen."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 4:01 am

"Yeah." Rachel said "Honestly, if we make it to the round of 16, I'll be happy."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 4:23 am

"Really? You did better in 2018--of course, that was in Los Angeles..."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 4:28 am

"Happy in the sense of we were successful, and can go home with no shame." Rachel elaborated

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 2:36 pm

"Ah, yes, the 'Participation' trophy."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 6:36 pm

"Personally, I count it as a win that we can be disappointed if we don't make it to the round of 16." Rachel said "I can remember when winning our group was fucking awesome. And yes, yes, that was the year that Spain won. The boring, boring Spanish team."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 9:44 pm

"The VICTORIOUS Spanish team, thank you very much. Conquering heroes."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 10:54 pm

"Yeah, they won, but they were, and are, boring as hell to watch."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 11:36 pm

"Of course the American would say that."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Fri Feb 04, 2011 12:14 am

"So would anyone who likes interesting play."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Fri Feb 04, 2011 12:40 pm

"Interesting, like 'spot the other team five or six goals'?"

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Fri Feb 04, 2011 3:44 pm

"Interesting like playing with passion and creativity."
