My two bits on the World Cup so far...

The third round of group play has begun and that means there are still 28 games left. No, it is not nearly over yet. And I'm glad. Much more, and possibly better, to come.

The vuvuzelas aren't that bad.

If you don't like soccer, that's ok- I don't like baseball. But please don't pretend you represent all of America by hating soccer and the fact it's on American television.

The jabulani affects this tourney, yes. But its the same ball for every game, every practice, every team. The outcomes are not being affected, only the goal count (yes, there is a difference).

ESPN's gamecast is definitely the best.
