Snuck out to watch the last fifteen minutes of the World Cup opener between Costa Rica and Germany. Saw an amazing curving shot go in for Germany from about 40 yards. Fantastic. Have to agree with the NYT's play by play soccer blog that ESPN's factoids are going to be a bit annoying. In addition to watching some amazing foot and head work I learned that Costa Rica is the first nation to disband their army. I missed the Poland/Ecuador game where I would have learned that the first oil well was dug by a Pole.
