1. At long last there's a chance Americans will understand why football (er, soccer) is the World's most popular game - now that they've got to the final 16 and everyone's reveling in Landon Donovan's injury time goal against Algeria. (pics 1, 2 and 40)
2. Yet again, the Boston Globe's web site comes up with a hot group of pics.
3. Proof that a $2,500 lens on a $1,500 camera is a worthwhile investment. Oh, and a press pass to every World Cup game.

5. Diego Maradona is a hairy midget (pic 34)
6. I gotta get an iPhone, and /or start supporting Paraguay (pic 18)

9. Having reveled at a fancy dress party some years ago dressed up as Jimi Hendrix (which involved plastering black theatrical make-up all over my face and arms, and despite what it said on the packaging it taking me DAYS to get the make-up off), I can only pity the ardent fans who paint their flags on their faces.
(pics 6, 11, 20, 33)
10. Every time I look at this pic, I think I see vampire's fangs. Then I check again and they're gone! (pic 35)
