"Nobody serious about political change can shirk the fact that the game has to be abolished."
well done, terry.

Yeah, we need to abolish music, theatre, cinema and literature as well. They're just distractions, can't have people ever enjoying themselves. Being politically radical has to be a dour, joyless business dedicated to a world without fun.
Or on the other hand we could listen to Emma Goldman instead. Hmm, tough choice that.
The referee in the Chile - Switzerland game was brutal, some great calls like booking Valdivia for diving but with some of them it was hard to work out what the card had even been given for. It ended up a scrappy but compelling affair, Chile kept pushing and deservedly got a goal but they could have done better and may have needed to. If both Spain and Switzerland can beat Honduras the places for progression could end up being decided by goal difference if Spain beat them, and their slender victories might not be enough.
amok:
I think Chile's gung-ho football will play into Spain's hands so as long as they beat Honduras (ESP that is) they'll be fine.
edit;
Spain: 1-Iker Casillas; 15-Sergio Ramos, 3-Gerard Pique, 5-Carles Puyol, 11-Joan Capdevila; 22-Jesus Navas, 14-Xabi Alonso, 8-Xavi, 16-Sergio Busquets; 9-Fernando Torres, 7-David Villa.
Spain is starting with two strikers and a somewhat baffling midfield for the Honduras match (Xavi on the other wing opposite Navas presumably?) as opposed to their usual 4-5-1; nice to see a stronger team adapting their strategy to an underdog rather than playing a habitual conservative formation and crying when they draw. Hope it pays off for them.
negative creep:
It did, apparently.
