Belgium is damn good, but I think we can take them as long as everyone concentrates for the full 90 minutes. Any given Tuesday!

Pete Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Jermaine Jones is one of the most exciting players to watch in this world cup. He makes stuff happen all over the field
The Big Cat Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Aren't we on the same side of the bracket as Greece? We wouldn't see them in the finals, only semis, right? http://goo.gl/OO6NKI

They also mentioned it on the broadcast, although those announcers were admittedly confused at one point. Scheiße - yeah I did some bad math in my head - I thought we tied Ghana on GF at 2-1 when actually we would've been -1.
KD in CA Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Belgium looks like crap and now playing with 10. Come on Algeria.

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

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?

Mark80 Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) 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. Edited June 27, 2014 by Mark80
eball Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 The Coulter editorial was comically horrible. There's nothing like reading something about sports written by a chick who clearly knows nothing about sports.
