I'm afraid I have to go with Ecuador over Poland today. Even if I thought they didn't have a snowball's chance in iano's hell, I'd still have to go with them. The last time Ecuador lost in the opening rounds of the World Cup, they overthrew the president. I DON'T feel like living in the middle of a revolution caused by a stupid football game, thank you very much.

Re: Kick the ball towards the net!!!!!!!!!!
And in yesterday's game (Ecuador vs. UK), I saw one of the extremely rare instances where both a goalie and a fouled player (not the fouler, the foulee) got yellows for basically fooling around trying to kill the time on the clock. In US football, it would be a "delay of game" penalty. In world football (aka soccer), it got 'em a yellow. Damn good call from the ref in both cases, IMO.
