How Do You Say "Goat" In Spanish?

World Cup powerhouse England snuck by Paraguay, 1-0, in first-round action yesterday. Of course, if that were the big story, who would care? The big story is the probable bounty on the head of Paraguay captain Carlos Gamarra. Why? Read on:

"England took an early lead, courtesy of an own goal by Carlos Gamarra. David Beckham curled in a free-kick from the left flank and the Paraguay captain inadvertently flicked the ball into the net with his head, beating the despairing dive of goalkeeper Justo Villar." (Yahoo!)

Wow, that's gotta suck.

  4. Do they shoot people in Paraguay for scoring own goals?
