Warning: Quasi-Soccer Blog Overload
It's past midnight here in Beijing as I write this. I've just returned from an all-day men's soccer doubleheader at the Worker's Stadium, where Nigeria beat the U.S., 2-1, and Argentina beat Serbia, 2-0.So here's the warning: the last 12 hours have produced some immensely bloggable content. I'll be scattering much of it over the next two days. If you do not like any of the following topics -- Nigerians getting defensive about their trumpets; creepy synchronized chanting; dancing blow up mascots; underpriced (not a typo) beer; poorly executed interviews in foreign languages regarding the nature of Eastern European soccer; or Rocky bloggers leading "Ole!" chants to the masses -- you might just want to come back Friday.
You've been warned.
