World Cup

Looks like the United States has a very favorable draw for the World Cup:

England
United States
Algeria
Slovenia

The US could wind up 1st or easily 2nd in this group.

Tom said...: Supposedly, Donovan said, when seeing the pick, something to the effect of "It never ends."

It'll be a great matchup, and will definitely make for some interesting headlines. It's almost too good of a pick, if you ask me ... though I don't want to sound all conspiratorial. It does happen though, to be the single best story guaranteed to create some buzz in the US.; 1:28 PM

Who is this joker?

Thomas Joseph
Professionally I am a bug hunter (aka microbiologist) and a gene jockey (aka molecular biologist). I started my career as a med tech, but now I'm a research scientist who studies environmental microbiology. When I'm not answering scientific questions about the roles that microbes play on climate change and/or water and soil quality, I'm an amateur astronomer and play racquetball. I'm also a sports nut, though my liking of both the NY Metropolitans (baseball) and NY Jets (football) tests my devotion to these sports on a continual basis. Fortunately, I'm also an OU alumnus (PhD, Microbiology) and we usually have a pretty good football team. Boomer Sooner!
