Dan Shaughnessy with a scorching hot take today: http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2...yWI0W4KK/story.html?p1=ArticleTab_Article_Top

"1000 Words on Why I'm Not Watching a Sporting Event."

I don't understand why people who don't like soccer think that soccer fans care. It's not that you dislike soccer, it's that you have a burning desire to tell us about it. No one cares. Shut the fuck up.

Belgium have been talked about as underrated for so long that they became overrated.

So you're saying they are the Boise State of soccer?

No, Boise St has actually beaten good teams in their history. Belgium is Gonzaga, living off that one tournament run back in 1986.

Group stage third leg bets are now live for Groups A-F.

Fuck Shaughnessy and his ginger fro.

Also, time for Korea!

May his feelings of disappointment and inadequacy continue...

Btw, the Bomb Pop jerseys have certainly grown on me and they were in full force down in Natal. Actually looked good.

Will continue to look better when we grab 3 points from Portugal. I BELIEVE!

Some photos from the pre-match party:

And then we marched the hell of that city to the stadium. Absolutely INCREDIBLE.

Yes, it goes back BLOCKS towards the top of the picture. Yanks went marching.

Seriously. Time of my life.

Algeria putting on the best performance in Group H so far. Group H sucks.

 

[jlb1705]

South Korea charging hard toward Cameroon and Spain (LOL) for a possible last place finish.

 

[jlb1705]

That may have been the most crap non-own goal in this tournament. South Korean attacker luckily trapped a speculative longball with his back. Algerian keeper gets beaten five-hole. At least it has injected a bit of competitiveness into this one.
