England, Algeria, Slovenia: How to Hate Them

The 2010 World Cup draw is set. The United States is in Group C with England, Algeria and Slovenia.

It's on the U.S. national team to beat these countries. But it's on us as a nation to hate these countries with everything we have. Here is some material you can use to tell these countries how much they suck.

Algeria

Hey, Algeria ... about a quarter of your population lives on less than $2 a day. You're poor!

Hey, Algeria ... you're president is named Abdelaziz Bouteflika? Bouteflika. Sounds like a sexual harasser to me!

Hey, Algeria ... rainfall in your country is fairly prevalent along the coast, but more sporadic inland. Ha-ha! Your weather is NOT temperate! And your vacations probably are often interrupted by rain!

Hey, Algeria ... in your country homosexuality is illegal and punishable by imprisonment. Are you sure you're country's not named Alabamageria? ZING!

Hey, Algeria ... you're Africa's second-largest country? Ha! Wait, since when is Africa not a country? Really, this is an honest question. We Americans are horrible at geography.

Slovenia

Hey, Slovenia ... one of your primary industries is zinc smelting. The country who smelt it, dealt it!

Hey, Slovenia ... your flag has three horizontal stripes. Where did you come up with that idea?

Hey, Slovenia ... many of your towns are quite picturesque! Not very practical in a modern economy, now is it?

Hey, Slovenia ... your plugs are British-style round plug attachments. Good luck getting your electronic equipment to work here without an adaptor!

Hey, Slovenia ... your prime minister, Borut Pahor, isn't nearly as funny as one might have expected!

England

Hey, England ... you're England!

Also:

There.

ROASTED!
