As it is apt to do, the World Cup creates soccer fans seemingly overnight, a phenomenon that is often multiplied when the United States is involved in a match with England (and playing with a good chance of moving on to the knockout stage). With new supporters comes questions, uncertainty and a general lack of knowledge. Fortunately, SB Nation has Sounder At Heart, a Seattle Sounders blog that created reference cards for all 32 teams in South Africa, designed to "give you a look at how a team is supposed to line up, formation-wise, as well as give you the pertinent roster information."
Now you can be just one click away from learning about why one of DPRK's forwards can only play as a goalkeeper, why Chile could make for some of the tournament's most entertaining matches and why "dogged and organized" will translate to "terrible soccer" for Greece.
