World Cup Observations

World Cup observations thus far:

*How can a team with a 105 ranking in FIFA standings (North Korea) be as competitive as they were with Brazil?

Conclusion: FIFA standings mean nothing in World Cup play.

*South African man was killed for trying to watch the World Cup while his family did not want to change the channel. Sad but still kind of amusing...Read Here.

*South African goaltender, Itumeleng Khune, gets a red card during the Uruguay match for nothing. USA doesn't get 3rd goal in today's game versus Slovenia for an unknown call by the ref. And there are so many more instances of bad calls.

*South American teams look pretty strong thus far. Please Italy and US: give me more confidence!

*The vuvuzelas (or horns) have a bit of a Rorschach test on people. Some say they sounds like bees, others like Indy racers. I think we can all agree they get annoying.

*South Africa isn't as warm as we would've thought.

*Italians don't like to lose. If Italy doesn't do well from here on out, they are at risk of rotten fruit being thrown at them and having tvs be thrown out windows throughout their country. More fits of anger may follow.

*Slovenia has white Charlie Brown jerseys.






















*Whoever is in charge of the national anthems being played before the games ought to be punched. The speed is quickened too much. Does it really hurt to spend an extra minute or two listening to the real time of the songs?

*We still can be hopeful for the US.

World Cup Soccer is like Christmas in June.
