Remember the discussion about Budweiser as the official beer of the World Cup?

"It's Missing the Taste of Beer"
Czech Republic may have defeated the USA on the field on Monday. But the real action was outside the stadium. In a taste test, Czech Budweiser thouroughly whipped American Bud.

To anyone watching the Czech Republic national team dismantle the United States in the coal mining town of Gelsenkirchen on Monday night, the balance of power in the soccer world was clear. America's super-power status reaches its limits as soon as the US boys step onto the football pitch. But off the field and behind the polished metal counters of the concession stands, another contest was being waged -- one in which the US seemed to have the upper hand.

Let's call it the Bud Bowl.

Well, it seems like our predictions turned out true. The Czech beer also known as Budweiser is making a strong showing - understandably.

Does anyone have the official sales figures?

And might this make US-Bud rethink its brewing recipes?

PS: What an excellent title for a thread...:D

Predicting that European beer is better than American beer? God, you must have needed a fucking crystal ball for that one.

Our super power status is reaching its limits because our beer lost to a crappy country who play a decent game of soccer?

psshhh

Predicting that European beer is better than American beer?
I never had either. It was everybody else in that thread who made the predictions.

I agreed that if it was available, people would choose European beer over American. And that football fans won't be able (nor willing) to avoid getting to know German beer while there.

Meh
It sells in America and I bet it's cheaper to mass produce than Czeck beer.
Besides, who the fuck would buy American beer in Europe?

I doubt a great deal of Americans were there...

What a great quote: "It's Missing the Taste of Beer"

I think it sums up Bud perfectly.

There are some damned fine American beers. However, they're just not mass produced. Perhaps we're just a bunch of masochists or something.

No, we're losing our super power status because of our shitty government policies. But Czech beer is still worlds better than ours. And so is Czech soccer -- sorry, football. And while I'm at it, the Czechs make prettier Easter eggs, and they really know how to paint a house, too. :D
