If you’re a red blooded Canadian like myself, a connoisseur of hockey, beavers, great open expanses of raw natural beauty and, of course, poutine, double-doubles and bison burgers, then you know one thing with absolute certainty – the Vuvuzela is an African knock off of the Hockey Horn.
That’s right, I’m claiming the Vuvuzela for Canada folks – if you’ve ever played peewee hockey in Canada, you know what a Hockey Horn is – it’s usually accompanied by shrieking mothers, rattles and as many video cameras as the trembling hands of the parents gathered can hold on to. But alas, what with Chicago’s beautiful Curse of Muldoon (look it up) ending Stanley Cup victory a few weeks back, there’s no hockey to watch, and little to play.
So then what do we do with a show like Road to the Cup, one of our best, and most watched, programs ever? D’uh – we re-formulate it for the purposes of the World Cup!
That’s right – we have soccer (football) fever – and we’re going to be tearing up the virtual pitch by offering you Road to the Cup; the World Cup edition - the fastest paced, lowest scoring, passing-intensive specialty sports chat show we’ve ever had!
But will there be any Vuvuzelas you might be asking?
Absolutely not! Considering that we can’t hear you, and no one’s going to bother spending a quarter texting in ‘bahzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz’, we can offer you all the excitement of a Mexican sports-caster without the annoying cacophony of a stadium filled with proto-trumpet players!
And wait – if that’s not awesome enough – I can personally guarantee you we will stop all other programming for MOD messages that read: gooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllll!
The world’s sport is now in its cup mode, and no one cares about cups like us.
We don’t just use them as containers for various liquids, we also enjoy hoisting them up over our heads! The whole wide world is watching the elegant ballet of the third most important sporting event of the year, and you can get in on the ground-floor with all the soccer related chatting and texting you can imagine. The awesome number of lazy-boy refs and couch-surfing soccer jocks will make your eyes tear up in utter joy as you discover just how little you actually know about this amazing, death defying sport!
Road to the Cup (Soccer Edition) premiers Wednesday June 23rd 2010 at 6:30 pm, and will air nightly at this time until the end of the competition. Enjoy watching TXT-TV!
