Jimmy Kimmel: World Cup Play of the Day + Soccer in Space

Jimmy Kimmel: NBA Finals

Jimmy Kimmel had his late night show after his primetime Game Night show again tonight. The audience cheered. “You’re gonna make me cry if you keep doing that,” Kimmel said. It was another big night of basketball on ABC. Nobody was watching apparently because nobody clapped. The Heat and Spurs go back and forth for their games “so the Spurs can feed their turtles between games.” The NBA finals teach us an important lesson: we’re short. I loved that.

Jimmy Kimmel Live: World Cup Brazil Wins First Game

While America was focused on basketball, the rest of the world was watching soccer. The World Cup started in Brazil. Brazil beat Croatia three to one. The first goal the home team scored in the home country was against themselves. They accidentally scored in their own goal, “so we’re off to a flying start,” Kimmel said. That’s not a good sign.

Jimmy Kimmel: World Cup Stadiums

There was a lot of concern about the World Cup being in Brazil. They were not prepared. Yesterday the Chief Sports Administrator there said, “Wait. It’s here?” That’s not a good sign either! That was hilarious. As of yesterday five of the 12 stadiums weren’t finished. Spain is scheduled to play the Netherlands in the parking lot of a home depot or casa depot.

Jimmy Kimmel Live: World Cup Play of the Day

Today went off without at hitch at the World Cup. Kimmel played a clip that he called “World Cup Play of the Day.” Some guy gets the ball, looks around, and kicks it.

Jimmy Kimmel: Jürgen Klinsmann Pessimistic

Kimmel said he’s going to make a real effort to watch the World Cup this year. It would help if the American team did well, but nobody’s expecting that, not even the coach. The coach Jürgen Klinsmann said, “It was just not realistic” for them to win. Kimmel said it was a great pep talk.

Team USA has a German coach. “Do we really need a guy in there who thinks David Hasselhoff can sing?” Kimmel said the way he talks isn’t exactly inspirational. He played a clip. It was depressing and hilarious. He talked about how the thought of winning anything in life is just a cruel joke. He was very poetic. He was having a real crisis. Everything’s meaningless.

Jimmy Kimmel Live: Soccer in Space

The astronauts are even excited for the World Cup. Kimmel played a video of them playing soccer without gravity. “It was all fun and games until someone broke a window and they all got sucked into space,” Kimmel said. That was great. “Who knew the sequel to Gravity would be a sports movie?” He said.

Jimmy Kimmel: Guillermo Soccer Game

Kimmel had the official World Cup soccer ball. He played with Guillermo. He loves soccer. They used the doors as a goal. Kimmel kicked it through before he was ready. They kept playing. It looked like they had a lot of fun. Then they switched positions. Kimmel got hurt. Guillermo apologized. “And now the wave of pain comes,” Kimmel laughed. “This is the ‘cup’ part of World Cup that I forgot,” he said.

Jimmy Kimmel Live: Father’s Day

Kimmel went on to an “appropriate topic” after he got hurt. Father’s Day is this weekend. Kimmel said he won’t be having any more children after he got hurt, but you should call your parents. He said that nobody cares about Father’s Day. It’s the Microsoft Zume of holidays. That was great. Kimmel thinks it’s important though. “Without Fathers, who would we disappoint during Little League games?” he asked. He suggested giving your dad what he really wants: a bottle of whiskey and some fireworks.
