If there’s one thing that will really stick with me from this morning’s World Cup action, it isn’t Mexico spending 90 minutes stress-barfing all over themselves.

Grateful Mexico Fans Are Treating South Korea Fans Like Royalty<em></em>
Despite a 3-0 loss to Sweden, Mexico fell ass-backwards into the knockout rounds because of some late heroics from an already-doomed South Korean squad.

Fraud-Ass Mexico Dodged A Bullet Today
After looking commanding in an opening-day beatdown of the World Cup’s defending champs, then slick and deadly in an easy victory over South Korea, Mexico proceeded to completely shit the bed today.

Diego Maradona Explains His Wild World Cup Behavior: "My Neck Hurt A Lot"

Iranian Goalie Who Exposed Ronaldo As A Fraud Went From Being A Homeless Runaway To The World Freaking Cup
Portugal was denied the full three points in their 1-1 draw against Iran today, thanks in massive part to a save from Iranian goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand on a Cristiano Ronaldo penalty kick.

Iranian Defender: "Diego Costa Cussed Everyone In My Life"
Diego Costa can be a huge dick.

These transgressions, combined with his constant scowling and general grumpines...

Panama Got Their Asses Kicked And Still Won

Toni Kroos's Last-Second Goal Looks Even More Incredible From This Alternate Angle

How Did James <em></em>Rodríguez Make This Pass?<em></em>
Colombia rebounded nicely from a 2-1 loss to Japan with a 3-0 shellacking of Poland in their second World Cup game today.
