Every four years, we North Americans are shaken out of our apathy and drawn into the irresistible world of football—the real football, that is. There's nothing better than waking up at five in the morning to watch two countries you don't much care for battle it out in a 90 minute match for a result that doesn't much excite you. Yessir, the world's greatest game! (Actually, the World Cup is terribly exciting for me but I understand most Canadians don't give a hoot.)
If you are looking for refuge from the constant World Cup coverage, here's our 100% soccer-free playlist.
