Read in the FT that the US won their worst team prize for 1998.  Spain won this year.

We didn't win it in 1990?  Yeah 1998 was a bad WC for USA.

[Admiral Yi]

1998 was the first year they gave it out.

I thought the US acquitted itself honorably, if not commendably, in the hottie competition.  A couple reasonable looking soccer moms.

Surely Cameroon and Portugal have performed worse than Spain this tournament.

I think I've seen that game about 20 times. And still that third Hurst goal doesn't cross the line.

David Luiz. Not exactly great marking there. Joining Paris St. Germain for sixtyfive zillion billions.

[FunkMonk]

Yeah, he's not having a very good game.

[Norgy]

Neymar vs Cameroon 2-1.

[FunkMonk]

Cameroon might have the worst defense in the tournament.

Brazil's ability to play diagonal passes towards marked players in their own half isn't far behind.

I spotted a couple from Iran during their game vs. Argentina on Saturday.  Kept thinking they'd risk stoning to death if they dressed like that back home.

I haven't pulled for Croats this hard since Operation Storm.

That would make sense if by "worst" they mean "underperforming".  I'm sure teams like Iran would probably lose to Spain in a match, even if Spain doesn't replace its goalkeeper.

[Norgy]

Crikey. The concrete pillar scored.
