after a disappointing showing (burnout) in South Africa 2010, France appears to be coming back. Vive les bleus! 
Germany vs Ghana should be entertaining today.

That was an entertaining game, well at least the 2nd half was.  Here is hoping the US can get the win tomorrow and lock up a spot in the round of 16.

20 seconds, all we had to do was defend for 20 more seconds and we would have advanced .......  I'm sick to my stomach right now........

Yeah, so disappointing....they started the game like crap and ended the game like crap...that first goal they gave up was insane, that defender didn't seem to put much effort into clearing the darn ball....

Gonzalez left a guy running in behind him while ball-watching across the field...  stop me if you've heard that one before.  :buck2:

True, but if Bradley hadn't turned the ball over near midfield so easily and just cleared it to the corner flag we wouldn't be having this conversation.  >:(


Also this game further confirmed my dislike of Ronaldo, for all of his skill he is a lazy soccer play who doesn't play as part of the team.  Even him having the assist on the equalizing goal he looked all upset that it wasn't him scoring the goal....  :tickedoff:

There's always a comparison over here between messi and ronaldo and the saying always goes that messi plays for barcelona and ronaldo plays for ronaldo

Toonces - Don't ask me, I just close my eyes and take it.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

That's a shame, I think the US is doing for the spot they are in.  It's the World Cup, Canada hasn't been there since 1986, if we were there I'd be ecstatic!

I heard players in general aren't big fans of having a World Cup in Qatar in the summer.  It will be crazy hot (unless its indoors I guess).  They might consider the US as a future option.  Sweet!
