The Argentinian defense really got exposed. Those were some of the simplest finishes I've seen in this WC.

Losing Muller for their game against Spain really sucks.

Oh, oh, oh Spain should be losing.

Talking to myself here.

Now Spain gets a PK!!!

And no goals for either team.

Bill Simmons did a nice piece on the World Cup. I'm not as optimistic as he is about America embracing soccer. I do agree with him, however, that a great way for us to progress is Simon Cowell starting a show called 'American Striker.'

And I agree with him about the Ghana game. For the love of God, just use a clock that can stop and restart (they have those). It would make games better at the price of what? If the clock stops so does the writhing in fake pain that can only be cured by a stretcher.

AWESOME, o_red!

I love the grass flying out of Caceres' cleats.

That looked like a Street Fighter 2 sequence.

Germany 2014!!! Oy, I'm a little bummed.

Spain on Sunday.
