Congrats to the Good Doctor

The Good Doctor deserves a congratulatory post for his spookily accurate prediction of the Sweden-Greece match today.

Zlatan indeed scored a stunner, and Sweden triumphed 2-0.  Spot on doc, spot on!

Speaking of predictions...avid reader caetano sent me a prediction of the discourse from an "all-star" broadcasting lineup. After Julie Foudy's display of her continuing reluctance to believe in things such as fact, reason, intelligence, and eloquence throughout Group D-Day, he too appears prophetic (note: Wilson Egidio is a very, very wound-up, hilarious Brazilian soccer coach. Churrasco has something to do with a barbecue/grilling. He once gave a pregame speech about churrascos.):

"To comment on Julie Foudy, she is awful. I think that ESPN should just make an allstar booth of Julie Foudy, Alexi Lalas, Marcelo Balboa, and Wilson Egidio. I think that the pregame commentary would run along these lines:

Foudy:Well obviously the favorite in Group C is Romania, I mean with the solid defense of Adrian Mutu and the attacking prowess of Christian Chivu, they can easily break down the all out attack of the Italians, wear down the impenetrable Dutch defense, and out philosophize/astrologize the French squad

Lalas- I completely agree with Julie I mean what is to stop Romania from getting to the finals. I think that their defense can shift a little bit to play the revolutionary 9-1 formation.

Balboa-(Fixing his hair and comparing it with a picture of Fabio)

Wilson- OK guys, so this team i dunno how u call them the Romans or something like that. but they play a 3-5-2 and i think that it should be countered by a 4-4-3 formation. i mean all the great teams have used it to great effect. just look at the 2006 brazil team. ok guys on three churrasco 123"
