    When we were 33-1, the only team behind us was South
    Korea at 60-1.  Now they've leapfrogged to the top of the
    "2nd tier", and we're the new longest shot.  Suits me fine.
 
    Too bad Brasil and England have to take each other out.
    Senegal vs Turkey is so odd -- pundits probably expected
    that one to be France vs Belgium.
 
    Too bad Japan doesn't televise any of the matches played in
    Korea.  Isn't that the most pitiful policy you ever heard of?
    Korea is more enlightened, and televises every match.
    Live on 7 different channels.  With multiple entire replays
    later that night.  :)
