Zzzzzzzzz

Mercy.  I've just watched the first half of the US v Malawi U17 World Cup game, and the announcer correctly called it "tepid."  I know from the report that the US wins courtesy of a complete mental moment by the Malawi GK, so I'll watch enough to see that, then it's bed time.

The most interesting part of the first half was watching the players try to deal with the center referee, the Swiss veteran Massimo Busacca.  They're flop and dive and rant and rave, and he just couldn't care less about their amateur theatrics.
