World Cup Fever

it was an amazing world cup game between the usa and italy this morning. not quite as riveting as the gargantuan upset by ghana of the czech republic, but damn entertaining nonetheless. three ejections, horrible officiating and an american team that refused to give in to a european powerhouse despite playing the second half with one less player. so, kudos and here's hoping our team actually scores a goal of its own next time against ghana.
however, those of you who have not been following the world cup, let me show you some of the highlights via a pictorial essay:
