World Cup Fever

I was all set to write up a short, angry post about the World Cup and how moving to 48 teams has ruined all my Christmases forever.  Germany dispatches Curacao 7-1, and that's that -- mediocrity reigns.  But then Spain immediately shits the bed against (checks internet again) Cape Verde in a scoreless tie and here we are.  And despite losses, Iraq, Haiti, and Jordan have all put in worthy performances

So what the hell do I know?

And America and South Korea (my two teams, basically) are off to fantastic starts.

Update:  Congo just tied Portugal.  What even is football?
