Five things I've learned on the first day of the World Cup

1. A yellow-colored stadium can be intimidating; it means you’re playing the real local team.
   
2. Orange shoes seem to be the latest fashion statement. The jury is still out on this…
   
3. Horns need to be banned from stadiums; they’re beyond annoying being a constant noise all-through-the-game. They have single-handedly caused me to almost drop this goal.
4. No networks in Mexico broadcasted the Vancouver Winter Olympic Games; yet, for the World Cup, you have a choice of five different networks that broadcast all matches!!
5. The French team is HOT!!!
