The US men are playing Canada right now, we are not having a great start. Both US and Canada are 2-2 so it’s a very important match for both teams in terms of their chances of getting into the medal rounds. The announcers just called it a “trainwreck” of a second end for John Schuster. So instead of fretting too much about what’s happening in this match, I’m going to show some pictures of some of the teams and say what type of role they could collectively get in the entertainment industry as extras.
Sweden – Doctors in a medical drama where everyone is a little too good looking to be realistic.
These are the cocky doctors, or maybe surgeons, that are a bit of a foil to the protagonist of the story. They are only by the books and can’t wait to clock out and go to the bar and tell people they are doctors while the protagonist of the story is still at work getting to know the patients and helping them overcome medical challenges, and also life challenges because they go the extra mile. Maybe the show is called CardioRx: Prescriptions for the Heart and it’s basically Chicken Soup for the Soul in tv show form.
Russia – Deatheaters in a Harry Potter Movie
Dude in the middle is clearly in the Malfoy family tree and the dude on the far left probably thinks the unforgivable curses should be taught alongside the ABCs. All of the teams have their arms crossed but they somehow figured out how to do it extra menacingly. Maybe they are the founders of Durmstrang Academy in a prequel that shows how all the schools of magic were formed? I would watch that.
USA – Commerical for a Men’s Health Product
Colin Hufman, on the far right, is really throwing me off here. He’s the alternate but just got subbed into the match and the USA just got 3 from a final amazing shot by John Shuster to stay in the game so I’m fully in support of him now. But as a group for the entertainment industry, I think their strength is how different they all look so they can appeal to lots of different people. They would be great in a commercial for some type of men’s product for guys in their 30s and 40s like erectile dysfunction pills, weight loss programs, a dating app for divorced guys or maybe hats that look good with any amount of hair you have left? Lots of possible product placements.
Great Britain – University Acapella Group
Their arm crosses and smiles/smirks seem to be more of a preparation to break out in a synchronized acapella version of a 90s boyband accompanied with very mild dance moves. They’re no One Direction but they make a good background group that is in a Pitch Perfect FreeForm tv show?
Italy – 2 MMA fighters, their 2 coaches and their crazy friend who is along for the ride
We’ve got 2 super tall dudes, 2 shorter dudes and the wild card on the far right. Do you know what that means? A montage of the hero of the story defeating two larger, more experienced opponents in his quest to win the money he needs to get his grandmother who raised him the surgery she needs to beat cancer and also rebuild her home for wayward children that suspiciously burned down the same time the hero of the story returned to his hometime after getting out of jail for a crime he clearly didn’t commit but he never talks about, maybe the wild card friend secretly had something to do with it? Obvi.
