2014 FIFA World Cup - Brazil

[BengalsAndBucks]

The Spain Chile atmosphere was insane. Didn't see them rushing the media center from where we were but there were tens of thousands of Chilean fans trying to scalp outside, and inside it was equally nuts.

Holy crap, fans stormed the media center, broke through the wall and are headed for the field and locker room. Total chaos!!!

At least the rioters at the World Cup have made it easy for the reporters to cover them by invading the media center. #StaySafeAll

It just wouldn't be soccer without a good riot or 3....

Mexico is being investigated by FIFA for discriminatory chanting. It concerns the "puto" chant.

HA! Really on top of things eh FIFA?
USA soccer goalies have been dealing with that crap for decades.

England and Uruguay both need a win desperately today, obviously.

It's not discriminatory. They universally chant that at everyone.

US Soccer: Jozy Altidore has strained left hamstring, not available Sunday, hopeful will be back during WC. Besler OK.

Like-for-like replacement for Fernando Torres.

ESPN keeps scrolling this as "breaking news" but did anyone really expect he would play less than a week after that injury? Hammies don't heal that fast. I doubt he plays at all the rest of the WC.

I love these ESPN radio guys...they tell it like it is.

Chelsea: Where strikers go to die.

Rooney is about the most unlucky player when it comes time to play in the World Cup.

EDIT: And just a few minutes after I post that, he finally gets his first World Cup goal.
