We on this side of the pond aren't allowed to see the first video. The ball
boy's goal is the strangest thing. According to the NPR blog feed--those
without cable t.v. must fall back on such sources--the U.S. are currently
taking an uphill route in the game against Sweden; they gave away two penalties
before scoring themselves.
Browsing NPR, I came across this, "Equatorial Guinea has also come under
scrutiny for its players' eligibility. Just before the team's first game, FIFA
suspended striker Jade Boho on the grounds that she had played for Spain within
the past five years. And as sports analyst Stefan Fatsis told All Things
Considered host Robert Siegel, "three of their players have been accused of
being men."
Since those accusations arose during last year's African championships, two of
Equatorial Guinea's players — who said they were sisters — have been left off
the World Cup team."
Also they have a photo of the opening ceremony:

How would you describe the white balloons exiting the big inflated thing?
Literary answers preferred.
