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

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...
