Worldcup tidbits

Edge of seats

Actors Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson shared a family photo on Twitter that showed everybody on the edge of their seat for the US-Belgium match - some with crossed fingers, others with clenched fists. Baseball's Arizona Diamondbacks and Los Angeles Dodgers and the NFL's San Francisco 49ers all posted photos of their teams on half the screen and the US World Cup squad on the other half. Each was captioned: "Are you ready?"

The San Diego Chargers put up a photo featuring the Stars and Stripes covering the football field at Qualcomm Stadium with the words, "Go get 'em!" while Boston Red Sox pitcher Jon Lester posted: "(hash) I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN!"
