Two down, one to go. Once the First Stage games are complete, we can see them off with a hearty, "it was real, it was fun, but it wasn't real fun."

The problem with this tournament is that while the First Stage games were reasonably interesting and/or exciting in the 2006 World Cup, the real action begins in the Second Stage of the Copa Oro, and therefore I am disinclined to sit through all 90 minutes at normal speed.

Or really, as it shall be referred to going forward, Copa Oro. All of the coverage is exclusively on the Univision family of TV stations. I can dig it. Let's go live to the videotape:
