    I think that this might actually be the year that England manages to make it to the finals and then break their fans' hearts.

     

    I was wrong -- they did it one match early... that defensive spaz that led to Croatia's 2nd goal was pretty sad.

  2. I have a Nexus 5 made by LG that's still going strong after 5 years.  (Some mechanical wear and tear like the external power button croaked, but I worked around it.)

    Just ignore any blue crystals that may fall out of my pockets.

    Viagra?

    "You know what the fellow said -- in Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace -- and what did they produce? The cuckoo clock."

     

    Love that movie.

    Don't you worry, and I take no joy in saying this, England will find a way to fudge it up too.  They'll beat a tough Colombia and then trip up against Sweden/Switz.

    Well, I'm locked into Japan for family reasons, but they have a tough row to hoe with Belgium, and then if by some miracle they win, next facing the winner of Brazil/Mex...:death:

    imagine if in football you just punted on 2nd down the whole game,

     

    Or, god forbid, rest your starters in a meaningless NFL regular season ending game if you've already locked your best possible playoff berth. No NFL team would ever do that...?

    Great big :thumbsup:

     

    It's the World Cup!  It's special in a way that nothing else is.  All of the things about this tournament and about the game itself that people complain about...those are many of the things that make it most interesting, exciting, dramatic and fun (and occasionally hilarious) to me.

     

    You described it perfectly.  Thank you!

    It'll go to tie-breakers, which as of now, Japan would advance.

    Samurai Blue are through to Round of 16.  Next monday they will play either Belgium or England depending on results of that match today. If it's a draw, I think it comes down to yellow/red cards.

    Europa Qualifying begins today

     

    i see DRUIDS of Wales (guess there had to be one) is playing today against Trakai of Lithuania

     

    these two would give a run to the Group H pile of garbage at the World Cup.

     

     

     

     

    You should write to FIFA with your recommendations on the proper way to qualify teams for the WC.  I'm sure they'll be very interested in your ideas.
