The utter collapse of excitement and the Swiss victory can only be explained by the effing vuvuzela problem. We can't help the situation in South Africa but a creative German hacker has come up with a way to avoid the problem in your own home: http://lifehacker.com/5564085/how-to-silence-vuvuzela-horns-with-an-eq-filter
In other news, I knew the Swiss would win. My friend Carin is Swiss and I like her.
My favorite thing to happen so far in the World Cup was actually on NPR. Apparently, last week, one of the announcers said that British fans were very excited by the match against the US. She got a smack down from her English boss who came on air yesterday to read her a pointed email he sent about her error. He then proceeded to lecture her about St. George, the U.K., Britain, Northern Ireland, and pubs in Scotland aggressively rooting against England.
I almost fell in love with him but then remembered he is the enemy.
