The most one-sided match of the World Cup tournament is expected to be Brazil vs. North Korea on June 15th, with the chance of North Korea winning just 3.7%. In the 1966 FIFA World Cup, North Korea made it to the quarter finals. Brazil was eliminated in the first round. (The Eighty20 Predictor, Wikipedia)

Do we really have nothing else interesting to discuss as fact of the day. The world cup is just so boring.
Personally, I think soccer is boring. But I am amazed at how excited I am about the world cup in spite of how much I hate FIFA. It is going to be one of those historic times in South Africa that remind us all how miraculous this country is. I can’t wait – and I am even thinking of going to a game (for the last 15 minutes anyway. I wonder if you are allowed to come late or if that would violate a FIFA rule)
