I will be the first one to admit that the World Cup is a wonderfully fun and compelling event that deserves the attention of every nation that competes and many of them that don’t. \u00a0I will also be the first one to admit that, as Americans, getting hip to the developments of international soccer would require a cram session the efforts of which would probably far outweigh the benefits. \u00a0ESPN Soccernet put together a quick cheat sheet<\/a> that may help sell you as an expert. \u00a0If you’re not trying to pass as an expert, read it anyway. \u00a0It’s got some good points and may help you decide where to focus your attention.<\/p>\n

Our friend the internet has dutifully provided Cliff’s Notes for the drama to take place in South Africa, so sit back, enjoy the games, and let the experts do the heavy lifting while you pound another one of those Godless American light beers.<\/p>\n
