Just a terrible performance. Yes Argentina is good, but the U.S. made it so easy for them. More unforced errors than I've ever seen in a game. Bradley was an absolute horror show, the worst player on the field by a wide margin. Overall, a scared, panicky effort. No joy to be had.

**** awful first half. As soon as I saw Klinsmann's starting lineup, I knew all that "let's take it to them" lip service was a bunch of bull ****. And what's up with Bradley? He's gotta get his head fixed. He's turning the ball over with his first touch every single time he gets the ball.

Good one

Good point, but it's a relevant distinction in terms of whether you see Jon as more of a Chosen One or as a Mr. Magoo. I think it suggests that the popular subjective view of reality is as neither random nor deterministic, but as Wonderfully Purposefully Magical.

Damn, now he's doing his Boyst. Bravo!

Maybe this thread should be merged with the Beerball homage fetish thread.

Soccer legend / master impressionist Cristiano Ronaldo does one of his most popular impressions. "Oooh, look at me. I'm Beerball. I like to prance around like a pretty little girl," he says as the crowd roars with laughter.

The best ever was Meadowlark Lemon. None of these other jokers ever made it on Scooby Doo.

Cheers!

USA is up against it vs. Argentina tomorrow (6/21) night at 9pm on FS1. It's hard enough playing a red hot Argentina, but with three of our hardest working players (Wood, Bedoya, Jones) suspended, it becomes a real long shot. I'm hoping Klinsmann decides to go more in the direction of Pulisic and Nagbe as opposed to Beckerman & Wondolowski.

Man, Portugal can't catch a break. They still will be in to the knockout round if they can beat Hungary.

Wow, that was a nervy one and an outstanding game. USA will be without Jones, Wood & Bedoya for the semifinal.

Almost time. This is a big one. Go USA!

Might as well use the likeness of Gary Busey too. Basically indistinguishable at this point. Actually, they could just turn on a webcam inside Busey’s house, call it “The New ALF” and it would probably be a hit. GARY: Ok, boss, what’s my motivation? DIRECTOR: Well, you’re an alien being from the planet Melmac. You crash landed on planet Earth, in an upper middle class neighborhood in California. You’re stranded and confused, but you can’t help being so loveably ridiculous, so you’re accepted as a part of this Earth family. And…hilarity ensues. GARY: Right, sure, I know. But what’s my motivation for this show we’re doin’?

No, it's a simile, dipschitt

My favorite Deep Thought: "One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. “Oh, no,” I said, “Disneyland burned down.” He cried and cried, but I think that deep down he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late."

We don't dodge balls in this thread. We kick 'em!

That is good news

Brazil just fired their coach, Dunga. http://sbisoccer.com/2016/06/brazil-fires-dunga-after-underwhelming-copa-america-finish

Sorry, CBF. Portugal should have won. Birkir Bjarnason scored Iceland's first ever goal at a major tournament and got the draw.

Rettata will be entering that awkward phase and starting to feel those strange and wonderful stirrings from down below.

It surprised me. Although, I don't think Brazil has been dominant since they collapsed so shamefully in the World Cup two years ago.

Kill...Coldplay (the future will thank me) Marry...Tom Petty (sorry, Tom) F***...Ramsey Bolton (it wouldn't be boring)

I never liked this quote. It's just another dull & not very precise aphorism, trying to sound noble and badass. Paul should have stuck to paint'n & sculpt'n.
