The Manaus field looks awful. I really hope it can hold up for all the games.

Here is The Haters Guide to the 2014 World Cup. If I didn't know any better I would think Sage wrote it, though there would probably be a lot more drug references if he wrote it.

I don't think Croatia scores on them without Mandzukic. I'll say 2-0.

Such a joke to build a stadium there. $250 million in the middle of the Amazon, a city without a team. It's going to host 4 games and never be used again.

Also, Brazil 3 - 0 Croatia

First match...best kits in the entire tournament. Maybe even best in all international soccer.

Yup, Croatia kits will always be one of my favs.

I'm pissed I'm stuck in an office. ESPN.com streams all matches, correct?

I'm hoping for a Croatia win so Brazil riots. I wouldn't be surprised if they burned down the stadiums if they don't at least make the finals.

Is it poor form to wear my Brazil Varejao jersey when watching/cheering for them?

As have I. And did my picks up through Monday (will wait a bit...or completely forget about it...to do more). I believe my style of picking, which with my lack of knowledge equates to going with who the masses picked (or a draw if that was picked by enough people) and then a random score that winds up being 2-1 or 2-2 half the time, will lead me to the promised land.

Hence the name, Heretic's Epic Fail.

It was $10 at a Ross in, of all places, Tucson. I practically had to. I've gotten some compliments from the undergrads at the patio bars lol.

They were already zooming in on some dimepieces on the ESPN feed. Good god, I need to go to South America.

That be a goal for me, too. Even though I'm the sort of derptacular idiot who'd likely blunder out of "hot chick tourist resort" South America into "real" South America and get shivved a few times.

Brasil in a 4-3-3 w/ Hulk - Fred - Neymar. Their attack is gonna be vicious.
