Ukraine and Spain reign plainly in their games

Today’s World Cup results.

OK, I really only linked to this as an excuse to write that headline.

PS — tomorrow at noon, Trinidad and Tobago, the smallest country ever to make the World Cup, has its last game in pool play.  If they beat Paraguay and England beats the crud out of Sweden, the Soca Warriors actually have an outside shot at advancing.  There will be rejoicing from Guayaguayare to Tunapuna if that happens.

OK, I really only said that because it’s fun to write "Tunapuna."

Even so.  I will be thinking of absolutely nothing else between noon and 2 p.m. Pacific time.
