Ecuador v. Poland

* futbol ole @ 15:09

Two yellow cards, one awesome goal, and an unlikely leader. I think I'm impressed. Ecuador is leading Poland (though I insist on writing out Polonia) by 1. At the same time the Univisión announcer can't decide whether he wants to use English or Spanish.

Quick lesson: offsides = fuera de lugar

I'm following along at the New York Times blog where they seem to be having fits watching the ESPN telecast. Apparently, it's not recommended.

update: It's about 15 minutes into the second half and Poland is desperate. This equals dangerous, and in some cases can mean stupid. So far there's been one ugly foul, and a few close calls.

final: Ecuador 2 Poland 0

I'm thinking that Germany and maybe Costa Rica will advance from this group because even though Ecuador won, it wasn't that impressive.
