Meh, Wade is s*** and Bosh has regressed with LeBron. Even if they get Lowry, that doesn't change the dynamic all that much. San Antonio has shown us the importance of depth. I don't see how they're gonna upgrade their biggest weaknesses, their lack of a quality big and a decent bench. San Antonio is basically intact, they are a much bigger threat to repeat than the Heat to be top dog again. Also, let's be honest, San Antonio should've won 2 years ago and this year they blew Miami out. The Heat aren't that good once you get past LeBron, they wouldn't have had four straight NBA Finals if the East wasn't total garbage.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 28, 2014 -> 04:50 PM) Haven't lost a competitive international game since 75. I am rooting majorly against them but they have the talent and ability, they have been choppy though. The two teams I can't stand winning are Mexico / Brazil. Thanks alot Seriously though, this Brazilian side is the least talented WC team I can remember, if I were a betting man, I'd put money on them not making it to the Final. About Mexico vs Netherlands, I'm cautiously optimistic but the Netherlands are insanely good, I don't think we'll get past them tomorrow. Just hoping for a good showing by El Tri.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jun 28, 2014 -> 02:24 PM) It's real easy for people who have never been in a situation like that yell "choke". It is what is what it is, bruh.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jun 28, 2014 -> 02:06 PM) No one choked Um, yeah. A good shooter should almost never miss PK, the goalie is at a great disadvantage. It's been proven that missed PKs is a result of a kicker wilting under the pressure, thus it is fair to say they choked.

Not taking anything away from Chile but I'll be shocked if Brazil makes it to the Final.

Dat choke job

Brasil just going with long balls from their own end, that isn't their game.

Solid work by the ref so far

Both teams with boneheaded turnovers

Two flops, one by each team, ref didn't bite, great job.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 28, 2014 -> 09:35 AM) I get it. I think Chile gets Brazil today. I hope your right but I wouldn't be surprised at some home cooking from the refs. Brasil and Colombia pass today IMO

We should all just forget Anthony, he's playing us and the other teams he's 'interested' in for leverage.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 26, 2014 -> 09:13 PM) At the risk of 2k5 calling me a bandwagoner, Heat got themselves a baller. You also were talking up Beasley and Oden when the Heat got them so...

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 26, 2014 -> 09:05 PM) Adam Silver is at least in the picture for world's biggest ears.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 26, 2014 -> 08:42 PM) Denver has absolutely killed this draft. Yeah, but they got players who'll leave as soon as they hit FA, lol

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jun 26, 2014 -> 08:32 PM) Maybe we should trust the organization on the draft front? They've done a pretty good job with drafting over the years. Since I don't follow college ball, God I hope you're right.

Gotta feel bad for that kid

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Jun 26, 2014 -> 01:28 PM) Korea yes. Belgium is really a toss up, it will be a tight game. IMO As a fan of El Tri, I'd take playing Belgium over the Netherlands a million times over. The US will beat them, stop underrating them

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.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 26, 2014 -> 12:14 PM) Lol Mexican fans cheering for Germany. No jobs for you Lol, you do know there are well off Mexicans that live in Mexico, right. Typical 'murrican comment, SMH.

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
