I can't really disagree here. All our best athletes go into football and basketball - then maybe baseball. I think even lacrosse is becoming more popular in HS than soccer. I don't know how we ever get past Brazil, Germany, Italy, England, etc.
On June 24 I was quoted for WNY area:
$90/month guaranteed for two years for Prime HD + 15/5 Internet and land-line.
$80/month guaranteed for two years for Prime HD + 15/5 Internet (no land-line).
I didn't inquire about a cell phone because my contract for that has a year left.
I think a regular HD box was $6/mo while a HD DVR was $16/mo
"By 10:00 AM, power had been restored to most of the customers in Quebec, and by 11:00 AM all but 3,500 of the 842,000 customers were back in business"
The horror. The horror.
Had Johnny Cash on my mind on the car ride this morning
after hearing the new Jeep Grand Cherokee commercial and
popped into my head. I don't know how I didn't think about it before.
I got the same as Sage and SDS using the following process of elimination
1. PHON - e. loudness unit (know this from my engineering studies)
2. FEME - h. wife (female - femme fatale)
5. GROT - a. cave (grotto)
6. BACH - f. live like an unmarried man (bachelor, bacchanal)
4. FISC - b. royal treasury (fiscal)
3. COCO - g. palm tree (coconut)
7. DEFI - c. a challenge (defy)
8. GRUE - d. shudder of fear (last left)
My thoughts:
- You folks are being a little harsh on the US for ball control. I thought their's was better than Ghana's.
- However Ghana was quicker to loose balls and easily won the aerial game. Very identical to the '06 game
- I have no idea why Bocanegra slowed down/pulled-up/gave-up when Gyan scored that goal. Awful.
- And yes, Altidore was terrible in this tournament. Official stats are: 8 shots, 3 on target, 0 goals in 357 minutes played
Absolutely. It really churns my stomach sometimes. It's very hard to defend a sport where players being dishonest, having no integrity, and cheating is so widely accepted.
Yep - two 15 min halves - then, if still tied, on to 5 rounds of penalty kicks (shooutout) - then single elimination rounds of penalty kicks if still tied after the first 5 rounds
