I got the Sunday Ticket To Go last year. It’s overpriced. The picture quality is poor. It cuts out on you sometimes right in the middle of the game for several minutes at a time. There were several games where they didn’t have the links set up properly at game time, so I’d miss kickoff and sometimes even a good chunk of the first quarter. When I called their customer service for help, I was told there was nothing they could do about it and that their policy is to give absolutely no refunds or discounts at all. And I’ll probably get it again this year.

That's the wackest rap I've heard since Vanilla Ice. You call yourself an MC? Ridiculous.

I'm so sorry to hear. My sincere condolences.

Yes

I can't go to reunions for the simple reason that I'm terrified of people. When that day comes, please please capture it on video.

Julie Foudy's no DC Tom. She made similar mistakes in other games she called. By the way, the thinking with the two 15 minute mini-halves is to have the teams switch sides to balance out any weather advantage (sun or wind). I admit, it's kind of silly, but that's the rationale.

You're all out of your element, you buncha Donnies.

I agree about the Golden Goal. They should bring it back. But that's too much extra time. You can’t expect players to hold up for that long. As it is 120 minutes is insane. If you stretch it to 150, you’re gonna have players puking and passing out. If you had a team forced to go that distance in the quarters and semis, they would be completely shot for the final. Especially in hot conditions.

Dude, oriental is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian American, please.

Japan deserves it. It sucks because I got wrapped up in this thing and wanted it for the USA bad, but that's how it goes I guess. I have to say it was an awesome tournament. Pound for pound, more entertaining soccer than what I witnessed last year from the men's WC.

I'm just not feeling the same optimism that seems to be prevailing. I want football, but I'm not so sure it's gonna happen.

Speaking of wine, I'm in a tough situation here. No drinky for gringo. The gf's parents are staying with us. The dad has been ordered not to drink for health reasons. Translation: no drinky for gringo. Two weeks.

Yes, but it would have to be very soon. This girl has a clear case of pre-skank syndrome. Once the disease takes hold, the prognosis is not pretty.

I agree. Really fun to watch. The skill level is really high. Some of the USMNT players could learn some things here in terms of touch and vision.

True, obviously you can substitute and probably not even know the difference. If you order it as a shooter, I think it's understood that it's supposed to be Crown. When you extend the drink to a full size summery thing, it's fine to use any whiskey.

Wow! That was one of the best games I've ever seen. Incredible win. Go USA!

Pretty entertaining. USA vs. Brazil in the quarterfinals on Sunday. Should be a good one.

Very good. I'm a dad and I have a little girl!

So, like, is there gonna be football or what?

I recently listened to Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely" while looking at my brand new baby daughter and it made me lose it a bit.

Thanks, everybody! Really looking forward to taking my ladies home tomorrow.

It's a... GIRL! She arrived last night at 10:16pm. Baby and Mommy are doing great. I am thrilled, exhausted and infinitely grateful. You are a crafty sort.

Ditto. As much as it pains me, I have to admit that they're the better team and they definitely deserve to represent the region in the Confederations Cup. I think Mexico is on the rise and poised to compete with the top nations. They will probably be a top five team when the WC rolls around. Meanwhile, the U.S. is treading water, trying to figure out how not to get sent home by Ghana once again.
