I have a bunch of friends from the Twin Cities area. My mom is from Willmar, about 2 hours due west from the cities. I hope you're a huge Twins fan, Travis!!!
 
@Travis, Cool map!  I was up by Rochester last year-- we go up and watch the National Motocross up there, at Spring Creek in Millville.
 
Thanks, dude!  Tho, I expect them to not make the playoffs.... so, this year looks pretty slow for my teams: KC Chiefs will be (at best) 5-11, Cubs will finish out of the race... tho, seems the Blues may not be too bad...

And a teenage daughter with a see-through blouse
Who loved to grunt and ball... and her name was Magdalena"

Somehow, I suspect those young chaps will do better than these guys:

Before you laugh too hard - the guitarist on the right is now playing with Foreigner.
 
Ouch. The vuvuzelizer ...

By the way, a famous Norwegian trumpet player was interviewed by NRK today and challenged to try to play a vuvuzela. He actually managed to get a variety of notes from it, like a signal horn. He still remarked that he found the vuvuzelas "very annoying".
 
I really don't mind them. Probably I would more if I was there.

I am seriously hoping the US wins the bid for 2018. I would love to go to an England game.

Isn't it time for a European country again in 2018? Three consecutive World Cups outside Europe would be a record. And the US hosted as recently as 1994. I hope England gets the tournament (because it will be much, much cheaper for me to go there than to the US  :D)

As for the vuvuzelas - I don't have a problem with the sound of them per se, but the fact that they drown out most other atmosphere in the stadium annoys me. In some matches one can't even hear a difference between a goal and the ball being passed around in midfield.

It is like a swarm of angry hornets.

There is no continental rotation any more. The only prerequisite is that the continent chosen cannot have hosted the World Cup in the preceding 2 tournaments. For 2018 only Africa and South America will be ineligible.
