World Cup Photo: One man's silent protest

OK, OK, we realize this photo has nothing at all to do with Shanghai or China, but when a photo like this arrives in your inbox, you just have to share. Besides, soccer is the "world's game" ... so we'll let this one squeak by the Shanghaiist censors.

In Seoul, South Korea, the man pictured above was apparently unhappy with the refereeing in South Korea's 2-0 loss to Switzerland on Saturday, and he expressed his displeasure the same way we all would -- by stripping down to his underwear in the middle of the street ... and just standing there. That'll show 'em!

In slightly more localized news, here are the leaders in the Shanghaiist World Cup Challenge as we enter the round of 16:
