Half-Time: Denmark 1 Uruguay 0
A couple weeks ago, Uruguay came up for a friendly against the USA, and I was less-than-impressed with their thug tactics -- enabled by a seemingly impotent Central American officiating crew -- and I told myself I wouldn't mind seeing Uruguay go through without a point.

Well, this one got off to a great start, with up-tempo play by both teams, and Uruguay looks to have opted for creative play for the tournament. It was a well-played, technically proficient, and creative, first 30 minutes, with Sand coming gut-wrenchingly close to scoring on a picture-perfect header off a superb cross. The play inevitably became more methodical later in the half, and the Danes began to dominate, finally coming through when Tomasson finished a scintillating play by Gronkjaer up the left side of the penalty area. The wide play of Denmark has been a delight to watch.

So, if you use that BabelFish site to re-translate the Spanish paragraph back into english, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. In fact, it's quite amusing, I'm going to have to play with that some more.

I've got potstickers going, and went to Kinko's earlier so I've been applying a few beer labels as the evening has worn on. I think i need a beer.
