Ecuador-Poland up next. Apparently the South Americans can’t win a game below 9000 metres. And the Poles have a forward named “Magic.” Elevation! Magic! It’s the World Cup live on ESPN2!
Wow. Fifteen minutes in, and we’ve already got (3) goals? I’ll admit it: I’m bordering on giddy. This doesn’t look terribly good for the Ticos, but hey, at least they got a goal back. Errr, but, umm, not a lot of defending out there quite yet. But I’ll take some positive football over a grinder for the opener.
The only way I could be more excited about the World Cup right now is if the Eagles were somehow in it.
Back to footy.
We started with 32, and now we have only 2.
