Ice, ice, baby, Part Deux

Remember the other day, when the Blob said if you were looking for a team to root for in the World Cup, you really ought to consider Iceland?

Well. Here is your score from Russia for today:

Argentina 1, Iceland 1.

Yes, boys and girls, in the first World Cup game ever for the Icelandics ... Icelanders ... Guys With Viking Names, they tied one of the world's premier sides. Tied a team led by one of the world's two greatest players (Lionel Messi). Which of course means they didn't actually tie at all.

No, sir. Given the circumstances, I think the headline (stolen from an old Harvard-Yale football header) should read "Iceland Beats Argentina, 1-1."

Told ya.
