We aren't covering every match—we're not crazy—but we're covering most of them, and because everyone here at The Stranger is kind of a moron when it comes to soccer, we've brought on some of Slog's most knowledgeable soccer commenters (Fnarf, Abby, Jubilation T. Cornball, and Bryan T. Bissell) as guest commentators. Here's what we'll be covering the next three days:

Argentina vs. Nigeria
CHARLES MUDEDE and FNARF liveblog the match from the 5 Point.
Saturday, 7 am

England vs. USA
ELI SANDERS, CHRISTOPHER FRIZZELLE, and others blog from whatever house parties they're at.
Saturday, 11 am

Algeria v. Slovenia
BRYAN T. BISSELL and FRIZZELLE stay up all night, get suuuper wasted, then roll down the hill to the 5 Point for bacon and eggs and soccer. (Join us?)*
Sunday, 4 am

Germany v. Australia
FNARF, ABBY, and ELI SANDERS liveblog from Kangaroo & Kiwi Pub in Green Lake.

All of these matches will be shown on ESPN or ABC if you want to follow along.

*Due to potential unforeseen circumstances, this might not happen. Life is complicated. But we're gonna try because Bissell says this match is important.
