In Ibero-America (Latin America and Iberia), the Americas is considered a single continent, and Central America is considered a subcontinent separate from North America comprising the seven countries south of Mexico and north of Colombia.

And did you know that, geologically, parts of Iceland belong to North America?

In a geopolitical sense, there is no such thing as 'North America' or 'South America' or 'Latin America'. They are whatever you define them as in a legal document. You can include Japan in any of them if you so desire.

In a geologic sense, Central America is part of the North American continent, in the same sense that India is part of Asia. None of this subcontinent horse hockey.

It is. Because of the colonial influence, 'Ibero-America' is any of the countries on this side of the Atlantic where Spanish and/or Portuguese are spoken today. I think this is sort of a preferred nomenclature because of our habit of referring to ourselves as 'Americans', to the exclusion of everyone else that lives in the Americas.

Arsenal just signed G Bernd Leno (Bayer Leverkusen), most likely to replace Petr Cech as their No. 1 goalie.

Beyond the total absence of goalless games, there have been a couple of other encouraging trends. Own goals are objectively the best things that can happen on a football field, and the record for a single World Cup is six, in France 1998. We’ve had five so far. This is going to be historic.

I actually think Morocco will tie this up in the second half.

Iran is easily the most annoying team in the tournament. If Spain doesn't score soon, we can expect to see the first cramps at about the 60th minute.

81% possession for Spain. Iran definitely playing for a 0-0 result
