With the first couple days of the 19th FIFA World Cup underway, the festivities have lived up to the hype. South Africa scored the first goal of this year's tournament (vs. Mexico) and quickly followed it up with a cheeky celebration dance seen here.
France, led by Mr. Handball (Thierry Henry) and Sloth (Franck Ribery), played Uruguay to a rather uneventful draw –– even with Uruguay being a man down for the last ten minutes of the match.
In today's matches, South Korea put two away vs. Greece, Argentina could only get one on Nigeria...and Sam's Army (USA) survived a battle to tie England. Even though most analysts called for an easy win for England, the Americans managed to stay in the game thanks to a lucky bounce off of the opposing goalkeeper and incredible stops by Tim Howard.
With the first few members of our group touching down in Johannesburg right about...now, they'll be able to give you more of what to expect from here on out.

Great match today between USA and England. USA must do more in future games to score. TV commentators could be better, like be honest about all those bad passes and horrible spacing on defense.
