Day 76: It’s Day 76 of BP’s Oil Disaster. I wonder if the media will have a lot of “The Oil Spill at 100 Days” stories like they did for Obama. They could look at the spill, see if it’s kept its promises, etc.

Juninho Busts on Dunga: A member of the 2006 Brazilian National Team, Juninho Pernambuco joined in on the bashing of former Brazil coach Dunga.

Uruguay and Holland: So it’s Holland vs. Uruguay with the winner earning a shot at the golden globe. Uruguay has a “team of destiny” thing going on while Holland is just a very good team.
