My apologies for not posting in the past couple of days. Over the weekend I was helping to work at a beach soccer tournament in Daytona Beach, Fla. I was at a hotel that did not have wireless. Still, I hope you guys had a chance to catch all of the exciting World Cup action!

At the moment, the tournament has gotten a little more interesting with some story lines starting to crop up.

How about the disaster that is the French national team? Is England about to implode? Can the officiating get any worse?! After watching the United States get shafted this past Friday, this will be tough to top.

Here are some links to keep you updated with what's going on:
