As I've said before, I love the World Cup. I love Fútbol as a sport---there isn't another one that compares. So what do I know as the second round of qualifying matches draws to a close?
1) The US team did good against Ghana--no matter what else they take away from this, they broke the back of the Ghana curse.
2) Spain? The King is dead---long live the new king--yet TBD.
Bryan Ruiz of Costa Rica
Guillermo Ochoa of Mexico
3) Some little teams that weren't expected to do much have played with such heart and gusto: Go Mexico, Go Costa Rica! There has never been a minor nation winner in the history of the World Cup.
4) Some teams just aren't up to the competition in a way that is nearly embarrassing: I'm looking at you Greece, Australia, Japan....
5) Brazil, in the end, in spite of the critics, pulled this even off.
