World Cup Update
It's been a pretty exciting tournament so far here in North America. Co-hosts Canada and Mexico are already through to the round of 16, while the U.S. plays Bosnia-Herzegovina tonight.
There have some great upsets so far. On Monday, Paraguay beat Germany and Morocco beat the Netherlands, for example.
If you haven't been watching, you might want to tune in this evening for the U.S. game...
[Ok, so an update to my update... I mistakenly set this to post at 11:40 tonight instead of midnight last night. Sorry! But that does mean I can report that the U.S. won its game today 2-0 over Bosnia-Herzegovina. It's the first time the U.S. has ever won three games in a World Cup, and sends them into the round of 16 against Belgium. However, the Americans' star striker, Falorin Balogun (who scored the first goal in the game) received a red card for stepping on an opponent's leg. That means he will miss the game against Belgium.]
