I'd finally like to segue from obsessing over the world cup every four years to keeping up with professional leagues. I'm not very interested in the MLS, so what's a good starter league or upcoming tournament to dive into first?

Does anyone here at metafilter have the influence to encourage the sound engineers of the World Cup broadcasts to use a notch filter or phase cancellation on the vuvuzela horn drone?

Equiped with nothing but an iPhone, how might I listen to the USA vs Australia friendly match that's due to start in a few hours? English language is a must, but I don't care what flavour.

I've played soccer my whole life, compared to my European brethren I know very little about the sport (and its stars). Anyone know a good book about soccer/football that will allow me to speak with authority when someone references Michel Platini, Franz Beckenbauer, or even Cisse or Ronaldinho?
Also, if you've been watching the World Cup, you've probably seen
this great commercial (different from the question below). Does anyone know what the song is?

I'm thinking of organizing an office pool on the World Cup. I'm based in VA. I'd probably set up something similar to what gets done with NCAA bracket pools. My question is though:
Is this illegal given US gambling laws?
