In case you haven't been paying attention to the world sports scene (I normally wouldn't be, either; it's football season, after all, so what else do you need?), qualifying matches for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa are going on. The week before last, Slovakia and Poland played. Now, the competition between Slovakia and Poland is not nearly what it is between Slovakia and Hungary, but you still always want to beat your neighbor. Slovakia won the match 1-0, and that one goal was scored by...a Polish player. That's right, Poland had an own-goal in about the third minute, and it was the only goal scored the whole game. Because of that one goal, Slovakia will go to the World Cup. Needless to say, people here are pretty excited about it. The slogan that came out pretty quickly thereafter is "Ideme do Afriky!"--We're going to Africa! Only 229 days to go...
