Indeed. I turned it on because I'm watching as much of the World Cup as
I can and because there wasn't anything on which would override watching
this one, but I didn't expect such an entertaining match. It is a shame
that the Greeks aren't as interested in playing well as the Koreans are,
but no matter... the ROK fellas are doing a fine job of entertaining.

FT: 2-0. Greece started lobbing some high balls and suddenly the
Korean defense looked brittle. Both sides had more chances to score
but neither did. Greece is perfect place to match their '94
accomplishment.

Is it too late to let the Ukraine replace Greece? Maybe they'd play a
soccer game and not just be happy to be there?

I suppose they're depressed, makes sense.

The country is Greece, not Grease, just in case you can't spell.

But if you can spell, well that means you just made an "ethnic slur" towards
a population, which isn't very intelligent.
