unbelievable
I'm in Boston, at a conference, on lunch break from listening to dry biopharmaceutical talks, and right now Group E action is on. Ghana, up 1-0 over Czech Republic in the 37th minute off a goal in the 3rd! This could totally change the math in Group E. The U.S. still needs to get at least a point today, preferably three, but this makes the group a whole lot more interesting...
i've been watching world cup games at lunch while at the gym. the other day i was watching angola vs mexico, and embarassingly it took me a long time just to figure out who is who. you'd think you could do it from racial composition, but the angolan team seemed to be filled with all races and nationalities. i guess it's like the olympics or something?
angola seemed a bit overmatched-- here's a country coming out of decades of civil war, and this is the first world cup they've played in since maybe ever... and they're against MEXICO? GOAAAAAALLLLLL
i like watching futbol because there's no time outs for ads
