Even if you don't like the World Cup, you'll like this

The best goal of the tournament so far, scored by Argentina and Esteban Cambiassio, after a 24 pass move. This goal is in fact related to Shanghai. Honestly.

Shanghaiist will just take this moment to note who is leading the chase for a Shanghaiist t-shirt (oh yes) in the ESPN World Cup Pick 'em:

• T. Kruemmer
• T. Vanderbilt
• Nick Withycombe

Yes, that was shameless.

In absolutely definitely China-related World Cup news:

• The World Cup has achieved the impossible in improving Beijing's traffic situation.
• The German consulate in Shanghai is showing a World Cup art exhibit.
• Australia's women's team lost 2-1 to the China women's team in Shanghai -- they play each other one more time, on Monday the 19th of June, at the Shanghai FA Training Centre ... we have searched and searched in vain to find out where that actually is, does anyone know where exactly the game will be played?
