Everyone's Played At The World Cup. What Do We Think We've Learned?
With the completion of yesterday's matches, we are through one full rotation of the World Cup group stage. (Brazil and Mexico have played two.) Certainly that's sufficient action to make sweeping, premature pronouncements about the rest of the tournament, no? ...
