Burundi.......unfortunate.

@larsiu i just love the african countries and always root for them. not north. heart of darkness countries. and i love how so often they land a dapper white coach who looks like the most interesting man in teh world. Sebastien Desabre, former arms dealer and french trained sommelier, led the congolese to a semifinal in the african cup of nations in just his first season....

Guardian commentary on the Ghana-Panama match is just brutal.
22 min Was Colin Robinson, the energy vampire from What We Do in the Shadows, present somewhere in Toronto? The energy has been drained from this match.
29 min Center … passes to wing … back to center … holds it … holds it …
33 min ESPN stats show Panama defender Cordoba has already completed 43 passes out of 45 attempts. Impressive, but it also shows how little Panama have managed to move forward in recent minutes.
41 min Rodriguez makes a few moves on the ball, then sends a pass skipping out of bounds. Oops.
45 min We’ll have five more minutes. Not sure we really wanted them. Ghana will need to sort out their sputtering attack at halftime.
45 min +4 No pressure from Ghana. Andrade dribbles tentatively up the left side, nearly to the midfield line.
Then he passes it back to Cordoba. Sigh.
EDIT: Second half is much more exciting. One of these two teams has to break through soon.
I was wondering how Iran was being handled for the World Cup here.

@bar-down What's with these washed-up actors becoming soccer coaches? First, Russell Crowe takes over the American side, and now Kevin Kline is coaching Panama.
Wow. Asante is an impressive specimen. The speed on that dude. Incredible.

It was actually a pretty nice goal. On a counter, Ghana pushes it fast, and Semenyo one-touches it down the left side to Asante, who is honestly a good ten yards back when the ball is played, but by the time he gets to it, he's burning down the pitch so fast, he's in the lead, and at the last moment, he crosses it right in front of goal and Yirenkyi just pokes it in like it's nothing.

England look strong. Probably strongest team so far.
The Euros have discovered the best pizza on the planet.

@snarlcakes I never bothered to try one, but I know a lot of people who swear by that pizza.
