colbert on the world cup

the colbert report is easily my favorite show on television right now. the man knows how to embarrass someone.
just before the u.s. was eliminated from world cup contention, stephen invited alexi lalas onto the show to help him trash-talk some of the other countries. AND…it was fucking awesome!

watch the whole segment at youtube, or just read this transcript of my favorite part (speaking to the czech republic, who defeated the united states in the first match of the world cup):

“turn up your hearing aids, grandpa! ’cause i’m only gonna say this once.
the only reason you beat us in the first match was because our players were too busy thinkin’ about the sacrifices their grandfathers made to save your asses back in w-w-ii. yeah!
and look…look, czech’s mix. i’ve been to prague, i’ve been to prague. i found the architecture trite.
why don’t you go home and cry to slovakia – oh wait! they’re not part of your country anymore.”
