- North Korea, in the World Cup for the first time since 1966, were ever so mercifully placed in the group of death (or is it the Democratic People's Group of Death?) including two of the top 3 teams in the FIFA rankings and a dangerous Ivory Coast squad. Keepin' the North Korean way alive, Kim Jong Il has announced that FC DPR's matches won't be televised unless they win. Well, for the sake of the North Korean people, they better hope that their country is as good at soccer as their dear leader is at golf.
- I jumped the gun in saying that Tim Howard looked like a creamsicle. Sorry, Ivory Coast, I didn't mean to steal your thunder.
- Cristiano Ronaldo has been his vintage self so far today. That is, he almost got in a fight with someone who would stomp his goofy ass if there weren't multiple millions of witnesses across the world. I don't get it. I mean, what's not to like?
- Lalas Alert! Alexi Lalas, in being unnecessarily aggressive about everything, has finally hit the nail on the head about SOMETHING: 'Cristiano Ronaldo is a total baby.' Yup.
- A wild Drogba appears: Drogba, sporting his version of the Pat Riley hairdo, makes his 2010 World Cup debut. Fortunately for the audience at home, he's wearing a long sleeved jersey so you can't see his ulna peeking through the skin of his arm. Good call.
