Draws and jock itch.
The first three days have seen our share of draws so far. But there has certainly not been any lack of excitement. Seven games have been played (one in progress now) and I have watched each of them. Thanks must go to espn3.com for serving up streaming coverage of the matches. I'm sure work productivity will be down in the month of June.
Yesterday brought a wonderful surprise in the way of draw between England and the USA in the first match of Group C. This was fabulous news. What I was hoping for was a draw between Algeria and Slovenia this morning to tie up Group C with 1 point apiece. However, Slovenia had different ideas when the keeper mishandled a shot to allow the final score of 1-0 (I shouldn't complain however, as the same thing happened on Dempsey's shot yesterday for the USA to tie up the match 1-1). We will have our work cut out for us as we take on Slovenia, the current group leader, on Friday.
On a side note, I found it hilarious each time the announcers mentioned anything about Slovenia's defender Bojan Jokic. Before you spend too much time wondering why, I'll cut to the chase and remind you that the ending "c" on the names of these players is pronounced "ch". Hahaha! Jock itch :)
(not quite as funny as the German and Bayern Munich's player Harry Koch ["hairy cock"] from the 90s, but still worth a chuckle)
