What about the Other Guys, Ay?

Andrew OliveriSo many people are excited about the ever-approaching World Cup. When I talk to friends (the ones who like soccer), they go into a frenzy about 'Argentina this', 'Brazil that', 'Italy whatever.' I am no true fan, but more of a mild appreciator of the game- I like to watch sometimes, but I know nothing of stats or what Ronaldhino ate for breakfast the day of a game.
   I always hear the big names come up in conversations- France, Argentina, Brazil, Germany, etc. No one seems to care about the little guys though- the ones who's lesser abilities will make it possible for a a team to hold up the cup and gain the world's respect; the unsung heroes. What about the teams who didn't even qualify for the tournament?!
   Recently, CR was fortunate enough to talk with the Canadian National Team's and the Montreal Impact's(CNSL) very own, goalie
Andrew Olivieri.
CR: So Andrew, how are you doing? Or should I say 'how are you doing, ay?'
AO: Haha. That's just a stereotype. Although a lot of Canadians do talk like that- but whatever, I'm doing fine.
CR: Now that Canada didn't qualify in Mexico for the Worl d Cup, you must have a lot of time on your hands. What have you been
        doing lately?
AO: Well, it's like with all this new time and freedom, it's funny because I just don't know what to really do. I plan on catching up  
        on shows I tivoed when I was playing soccer.
CR: What shows?
AO: I like Curb, 24, and a show we have in Canada called Cheeky Monkey and Friends.
CR: Sounds interesting. Any other plans?
AO: I also plan to wirte a short novel about a sushi chef who falls in love with a mermaid but struggles with the fact that she is 
        half-a-fish.  I want to wash my car eventually too.
CR: Wow, sounds like you're busy. Do you plan on watching the tournament?
AO: Maybe. I'll watch the big games definitely.
