BTW, the US will beat Belgium or Korea in the next round.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 26, 2014 -> 12:55 PM) So I know nothing about soccer, but on a scale of 1-10, how surprising is it that the US advanced? 1 being not at all, 10 being shocked beyond belief. A 6? 7? I think the US crowd underrates Team USA, the elite teams like the Netherlands, Germany or Argentina don't roll over Team USA anymore. Are those teams a tier above? Yes but the gap is getting smaller.

Melo wants to see the money, he's staying.

Bradley sucking so far this first half

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 26, 2014 -> 10:46 AM) 3-1 Germany 1-1 draw

I understand, all I'm trying to say is going for big name FA is overrated, really, only LeBron right now is the big name player that can instantly make you a contender. Anthony to me just isn't a player that'll lead you to a championship. Great scouting and elite player development is the way to go.

It would be cool that instead of going through the routine 'try and grab a hot FA' thingy most clubs do, we should try and emmulate what SA does. They never make 'splashy' moves but somehow the way they run their organization, they're always contending, and to think that the main cog piece in that machine was picked in the 90s...

I keep watching that Suarez biting incident and while the Italian player is totally the victim here, funny how a bite to the shoulder sends both guys tumbling to the ground, lol. Like a bite to that area somehow takes your legs away. Then, Suarez drops like he got shot in the mouth. I guess I'm just pointing out just how flopping in soccer is so embedded in these guys pysche, everytime I see a player go down, I'm there trying to see if it really was a legit fall or not

You gotta admire Suarez, he plays with a lot of hunger...

Stephen A. Smith this morning said Melo's priority is money, but the Knicks and Phil Jackson have made Melo believe that they're not going to offer him max money. More like 100 million (a little more than the 96 max he can get with another team), not the 120+ million max deal. If true, money won't be a big factor in his decision. doesn't sound like he's leaving to me Meh, not a single f*ck gven by me if he doesn't come to the Bulls. I have him figured as someone who would take the money over a chance at a title. He's just using us as leverage and as much as we like s***ting on the FO, if a player you're targeting just doesn't want to be here, really, what can you do?

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jun 23, 2014 -> 04:47 PM) lol@ do they have enough time now. I dont mind Moreno(sp?) but the PBP guy isnt that good. Yeah, Palomo should just narrate in Spanish.

Nice goal by Croatia but this game ovah

Crap, Brazil got another one

One more gol and we avoid the Netherlands

Well deserved

Two penalties in a sequence of 3 seconds and dat ref called not one.

That f***ing ref is blind

So many corner kicks and not one decent scoring opportunity

That was my reaction to Mexico's shot that hit the cross bar.

Crap

Let's do this

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 22, 2014 -> 06:57 PM) You jinxed it! Sorry Seriously, the US can hang with Germany, mark my words.

Well, there's a Spanish phrase that says, "un empate con sabor a derrota", which means "a draw that's feels like a defeat"... Kinda sucks to have to chase points vs Germany.
