Represent

Weezer

Song For The Moment

“Represent” by Weezer

This isn’t a great song.  It isn’t even a great Weezer song.  But Rivers Quomo, #1 soccer fan, wrote it specifically for the US National Team’s World Cup appearance.  So, I figure that’s got to count for something.  The players themselves love it.  You can download it free from iTunes.

Myself, I’ll be pumping myself up with a little Street Sweeper Social Club on the way into the office today.

Win and we’re in.

UPDATE: They’ve put together an official video for this jam.

Target Anxiety: The Penalty Shootout Reconsidered

The beautiful cruelty of the World Cup is that it is held every four years, and four years is a purgatory of a time to wait for reincarnation. Every game assumes an unreasonable importance, which is what makes it such fun.

Great article discussing the World Cup, Soccer, Penalties, and the psychology behind the sport.
