Who I am rooting for in the World Cup and why...

This one should be pretty obvious. I'm not a total communist.

I work with a guy from Côte d'Ivoire and he's awesome.

The Lord of the Rings, Flight of the Conchords, and the most peaceful place to live (that's NZ, not Australia by the way).

I teach a bunch of Mexican kids and they were going nuts for the World Cup months ago.

Perhaps if one of these two teams win it may draw new attention to a very crap situation and maybe, just maybe, it will push their political relationship in the right direction. Plus, these short Asian guys are always getting bullied!
