Um, you need to check your facts when you are correcting someone. If we lost 1-0 and Ghana won 2-1 we would have been out on the second tie breaker, goals for. Ghana 5, USA 4. We would have advanced if Ghana won 1-0 on the third tie breaker, total goals scored in games in which tied teams played each other. http://blog.syracuse...kout_stage.html and a reputable source: http://www.washingto...kers-explained/

What separates good players from great players IMO. Yeah he can score, but that's about it.

Kompany?

Can't play Germany till the final. Also miss Brazil, France, Columbia, and Uruguay which is nice. Our side has Belgium, Netherlands, and Argentina as the biggest threats though. In all reality, just getting out of the group stage is a major win for US soccer though. I don't see us making a very big run beyond that though.

Phew. Was watching both games on two tvs. Ghana had a lot of chances and easily could have won that game. At the same time, Portugal had a lot of chances too and could have easily made up that goal differential. Both goalies made some great saves.

I looked it up, it is not H2H, it's total goals scored.

Tie breaker after goal differential?

Manifest Destiny. Let's do this. http://youtu.be/jZUWQdSTQ7Q

Mentioned him earlier as a "when did he become such a great actor" referencing his performance on True Detective. But looking back at him, he's been good for quite a while. Greatest ever, hell no, but damn good, hell yes.

I think it's on like a mofo in Houston and Chicago too. My favorites to land him in order right now: Heat, Cavs, Houston, Chicago, LAC. I think Dirk's age scares him away from Dallas. Carmelo, that's a different story there though.

And don't get me wrong, fellas, I do think he should have received a Red card and a suspension for the bite, I was just saying that I didn't think he should have received a lifetime ban or a one or two year suspension like some of the guys on ESPN and a lot of people who put comments on the bottom of various articles were trying to say he should. I would have put it at 10 games for this (after I would have done 3 for the first and 7 for the second). Ohhh, I didn't catch that part of it. That will be a significant number of total games then. And as a LIverpool supporter I'm now pretty pissed (at Suarez for being so stupid).

I'm on the record as saying I don't think this is such a big deal. However, considering he got suspended 10 games for his last biting incident it doesn't make any sense that he was suspended less games for his third offense. FIFA is so messed up.

I believe that Hackett's development as a play caller and schemer is just as, if not more, important than EJ. He must be put in a position to succeed before he can succeed.

Personally, I don't think a bite is really that big of a deal. It's much better than some of the leg sweeping that goes on that can end guys careers and leading into a tackle with cleats up which basically can act as daggers. Sure it hurts and is a bit weird, but hearing guys clamor for a lifetime ban or a two year ban is a bit ridiculous to me. Additionally, we've all heard rumors of what goes on in the bottom of an NFL / College football pile. Just look at that video of Spikes from Florida basically trying to gauge a guys eyes out. That too, is much worse in my opinion.

Didn't you guys hear? The bite mark was photoshopped! Funniest explanation I've ever heard!

These are the people you should be cruel to man, not some chick trying to help out some ducks!

Wow man, you are exceedingly cruel.

He's won 4 of the last 5 soccer player of the year awards (now Ballon d'Or Award) and finished 2nd the other time. I'd say he's been the real thing for some time now.

Just because you didn't hear about it, doesn't mean it didn't happen with MJ. I can pretty much guarantee you that with the history of the PIstons v Bulls Michael was approached about bringing Rodman to the Bulls. We just get way too much info these days with the sports paparrazish media and social medial.

She was the cutest actress of her time, adorable really...then she destroyed herself with plastic surgery. Such a shame, same with Melanie Griffith.

I always find myself swearing at people who are on the interstate going 45 or 50 when traffic is going 60+. It is a driving hazard just as, if not more dangerous than speeding yet I've never heard of anyone pulled over for going too slow (i'm sure it's happened but probably only on more extreme cases than 10 MPH below). Can't imagine how surprising it was to see a car completely stopped in the middle of a lane. Terrible accident.

Al is good and often great, no doubt. But, he has just as many roles where he is annoying as hell as he does when he's fantastic. Carlito's Way, Any Given Sunday, and Insomnia for example.

For the love of god please tell me you didn't just compare Robert Plant to the Hanson brothers.

All time best leaked selfies perhaps.

Actor - Jack NIcholson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Matthew McConaughey, Paul Newman, Marlon Brando. Leo and McConaughey...see The Departed, Django Unchained, Inception and True Detective, A Time to Kill, and Dazed and Confused as tremendous examples of their talent. Also, probably not a greatest of all time or anything, but speaking of True Detective...when did Woody Harleson become such a great actor? Actress - Hands down Meryl Streep. She's amazing in everything she does.
