The First US Game
As the US played dreadfully, and the Czech team played wonderfully, I can’t even bear to link to a game report. Just a sad, sad performance from the US team.
So, instead of linking to a game account, check out the World Bank’s collection of economic analysis of the World Cup. It includes:
- economic predictions of who will win the World Cup;
- the possible economic impact of the World Cup;
- the relationship between sports and international development; and
- programs and initiatives that are trying to leverage sports as a development tool.
