So, back to soccer. Hopefully, you were able to see the US-England game at some bar or with some friends. Being in Argentina right now, it was a surreal experience to be surrounded by so many Americans and Brits and experience this emotional-rollercoaster of a game. We all know about the infamous goal:
But there have been many other occurrences that have also been newsworthy. With no huge upsets so far (although Paraguay and Italy tying today was a mild shocker), I've decided to compile various videos and pictures together to paint a picture of some of the highlights. I hope that you'll enjoy it:
First off, we have the somewhat funny-looking (okay, disregard the somewhat) English star Wayne Rooney deciding that he wants to act literally in relieving himself of pent-up feelings after the team's disappointing tie:
Next, we have the talented Andres Iniesta of Spain showing his disdain for the infamous vuvuzelas. Well, after this performance, it's not like he really has a choice.
Warning: The next picture reveals the secret to how Ghana won its' game against Serbia on Sunday (it's actually a Ghanian rap group):
And finally, to add insult to injury, we have what many fans in England actually saw when captain Steven Gerrard scored the goal only four minutes in to give England a 1-0 lead:
I think that all of these images or videos just go to show you nay-sayers that soccer (or futbol, whatever your fancy) can most definitely be entertaining. You just have to relate it to something more personally relevant, like peeing.
