Obligatory World Cup Post
*If you can’t tell, the images are mostly unrelated to the text
Ridiculously amazing photos of WC2010 buildup on Boston.com's Big Picture
- (UPDATE) First things first: The World Cup, Translated into American.
- Slate has the scoop on the secret history of American soccer in the first quarter of the last century (i.e.,the Roaring Twenties), featuring the Boston Wonder Workers, the Brooklyn Wanderers, and, of course, the infamous Fall River Marksmen.
- Even the New Republic has a soccer blog, where you can find gems such as Tom Vanderbilt’s on-point “Meditation on Loyalty.”
I hope I encounter this in real life at some point in the next month...
