Some World Cup ground rules

Wherein let's get this out of the way now so I won't have to yell at anyone later


Consider this either a warning or a heads up, but this site will be almost exclusively World Cup posts for the next month. As such, I have a few rules in place to maintain order. Failure to follow these rules in the comments will result in deletion or mockery. Probably deletion, because it's just faster.

• Say ZERO. If you are an American currently living in one of the 50 states, it is ZERO, not NIL. Speak American you pretentious queen-sniffing twit.
  
• Likewise, it is field, not pitch. A pitch is something thrown at a person holding a baseball bat.
  
• I know soccer is boring. We all know soccer is boring. So don't bother. Just because the comments are open doesn't mean you have to leave one.
  
• Andrés Cantor is dead. Find a new catch phrase.
  
• It is acknowledged that ESPN sucks. Move on. However, you may acknowledge particularly egregious examples.
  
• As I expect plenty of people will be watching the games on tape delay or TIVO, I'll avoid spoilers in the titles. Spoilers are allowed in the post body and comments, so read at your own risk.

That's it. For now.
Tomorrow, I'll reveal my picks for group play. Thursday, it's my picks for Round 2.
