Any song that actually shuts down Wall St has to get a nod too. Yeah, it seriously did. Awesome.

Anything by Steely Dan...and...

No one really knows what the potential changes are as of right now so let's not rush to the cliff quite yet. It's just a likely that our Islander's pick next season can have a better chance of being higher with these changes (as well as the Blues if they can't get into the playoffs in a very, very tough western conference but they probably still will). Who knows, maybe the Islanders pick will turn into McDavid because of this change. Just never know.

I know, that is absolutely insane isn't it?

Yeah, but what you guys are failing to realize is the negative influence the likes of her and other's like her have on millions upon millions of Americans. That's why she is worth the title "enemy" in my mind. And I'm done discussing politics in this thread, sorry I know it's annoying.

Know your enemies.

Now that's an animal you never want to come across in the wild. Extremely territorial and nasty.

B's be crazy. I just don't understand why extreme rights try to push away middle of the roads and independents like myself. She gives a bad name to my Alma Mater. But hey, she's getting clicks so it's all good. When will the rest of your party come to realize that these extremist are killing your chances of getting any real power back and they are just money hungry profiteers who will say anything to cause controversy and get attention for better ratings? Probably a discussion for another time as I could go on and on about this. http://www.anncoulte...2014-06-25.html

No contest, Ronaldo loves himself some Ronaldo. We would have been screwed (figuratively) they would have been screwed (literally).

Any given Tuesday!

US - 1-1-1 GHA - 0-2-1 POR - 1-1-1 GER - 2-0-1

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.
