What a world cup!

The excitement is building relentlessly. Puts the American football playoff to shame. Only sporting event this extraordinary is the Olympics.

Two great games this morning, France beat Argentina and Messi 4-3 and Uruguay beat Portugal and Renaldo 2-1. So two superstars are going home.

Uruguay could go all the way.

I still don't understand penalties. A crash is not called, a relative nudge is called. It seems so arbitrary and if committed close to the goal, with a penalty kick, it can determine the game. An aspect of the game I don't like. Or probably I just don't understand it.
