Sports are intense and the World Cup is basically sports on steroids (except for not because that would be illegal.) Regardless, it's not surprising that today's game between the U.S.A and Germany was fierce. Players were running, yelling, and most of all: sweating. But then it started to rain. They don't cancel soccer for rain, no that's reserved for wimpy sports like baseball. Instead, these athletes keep going in rain or shine. In fact they might have even enjoyed the rain as it cooled everything down.
But while the real athletes performed in an actual game, the rain made for a fun activity for the folks playing at home. That's right, welcome to the first (and probably last) edition of Sweat or Rain? The fun game where you have to examine pictures of hot men and decide if their hair is wet because it's pouring or because they're overheating.
You better take this seriously because you are being scored and there are prizes. (No, not really but take it seriously anyway because you're already this far in the article, a little more time wasted won't hurt.)
Don't worry, I'll start you off with an easy one:
SWEAT OR RAIN?
Answer: It better be rain because otherwise that's a pretty disgusting way to start off this quiz, am I right?
SWEAT OR RAIN?
Answer: Rain. The German team won, they're not sweating anything.
SWEAT OR RAIN?
Answer: Trick question, the answer is actually tears. The U.S. coach is drenched in the sadness of his loss.
SWEAT OR RAIN?
Answer: Rain. Also the German coach looks a lot like John Stamos, someone should tell him that.
SWEAT OR RAIN?
Answer: Sweat. Shedding sweat for the U.S. is what he lives for. That's what this flag is telling me.
SWEAT OR RAIN?
Answer: Sweat. Rain batters hair down, sweat gives it a mousse like quality. P.S. I'm digging this funny hairdo, sweat or not.
SWEAT OR RAIN?
Answer: Sweat. Someone get this man a terrycloth headband stat!
SWEAT OR RAIN?
Answer: Both. You can see the rain drops, but also this is an intense game and the U.S. goalie is wearing a sweater on his face so you can bet he's sweating.
SWEAT OR RAIN?
Answer: Rain. The umbrella was the giveaway. It also would make for a good sweat guard too though. Someone get on that marketing angle, STAT.
HOW DID YOU FARE?
Add your points and find out your score here:
0-3: If you were on the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards and you got slimed I could ask Slime or Sweat? and you'd still probably get it wrong. You should take a liquids course ASAP.
4-6: Eh, you gave it a shot but my trick questions probably (unfairly) tripped you up. Please accept this shot of of water and or vodka as my apology. Hopefully you can taste the difference between the two.
7-9: You know the difference between rain water and sweat so well you should probably join Gwyneth Paltrow in her whole "water has feelings" campaign. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if you're already a member.
That's all! Thanks for playing this edition of Sweat or Rain? Now go do something more productive with your time. (Might I suggest you watch several High School Musical parodies? That is always a good use of your precious minutes.)
