For those of you who aren't fans of the world cup... you may become fans during the tournament. You've just got to be around a nation that passionately wants their own team to win, and doesn't even recognize the quality of any other teams. After hearing about how great the Korean side is from each and every Korean in the country... and upon hearing how they are the best in the world, and are a team that should never lose to an African side (as some player said recently)... despite the team 1) taking dives without being touched, or only slightly touched whenever the opportunity arises. 2) jumping on the heads of opposing players attempting to get to balls they have no business getting too. 3) having one of the ugliest looking teams of any teams competing.

I say you'll tune into the games and begin cheering for each team the Korean team plays against. Watch and see... you'll probably be doing it too... and none will be happier than you and I when those opposing teams find the back of the net. Those will be the great moments of this world cup.

'I could care less'

a mistake that has a place in the western world, kind of like the overuse of 'like'

He was like, so I was like, and it was like, you know, like,.....

or the obviously wrong 'irregardless' or 'unthaw'

It's sarcasm, fellas.

The intonation in "I could care less" is similar to the intonation in some Yiddish phrases that use sarcasm to express one's point.

So yea, literally, "I couldn't care less" would be correct, meaning, "there is nothing in the world I could care less about." BUt if you're trying to be sarcastic, one can say "I could care less," which would end up meaning, "Yea right, as if there is something in the world I could care less about."
