QUOTE (LDF @ Jun 26, 2014 -> 03:06 PM) I remember a movie in the 70's that came out, the critics destroyed it, and mentioned that the white and black of the army reminded them of hilter the Nazis. the critics were siskel and ebert. (sp) move was Star Wars. Star Wars was nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars and Ebert's review of the film was positive.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jun 26, 2014 -> 01:27 PM) BTW, the US will beat Belgium or Korea in the next round. The USA can only play Belgium or Algeria. And it is really unlikely that the US will play Alegeria because that would require South Korea to beat Belgium and Alegeria to beat Russia.

Yedlin is just insanely fast. He's still raw but you have to like the potential there.

Outside of the first 10 minutes the USA played pretty well that half. Bradley continues to struggle, he has been really awful during the World Cup except for the first half against Portugal.

Portugal on the board first against Ghana. That's good for the USA.

I obviously could be wrong but I'm not a big fan of Payton and I can't believe he has become a likely top 10 pick. I really don't like guards who can't shoot and he is just dreadful at that aspect of the game. And the fact that he is a 60% free throw shooter indicates that it is pretty damn unlikely he ever becomes a good shooter.

So there are still only 8 reviews on Rottentomatoes for Transformers 4 just a day and a half before it opens which means the movie is obviously terrible. I'm shocked.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 25, 2014 -> 11:23 AM) If you add a Stauskas / McD, add Mirotic and then get an Afflalo that isn't a bad off-season at all and that is a much improved Bulls team. I don't really see how the Bulls are getting Afflalo if they use their picks this year?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 24, 2014 -> 12:46 PM) Someone needs to beat the s*** out of Suarez one day. What the f*** is wrong with that guy? There is absolutely no way he should be permitted to play again in the World Cup. And was I the only one who thought the straight red card against Italy was excessive?

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jun 23, 2014 -> 04:28 PM) Two penalties in a sequence of 3 seconds and dat ref called not one. Insanely obvious handball that shouldn't have been missed but Hernandez flops constantly to the point I would never give him a call unless its about the most obvious foul of all time. And that was a much deserved goal by Mexico on the corner.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 22, 2014 -> 06:57 PM) Michael Bradley sigh That giveaway at the end was inexcusable. He has f***ing sucked for two games now.

Michael Bradley has been f***ing terrible.

Jermaine Jones! f***ing awesome shot

Bradley has to put that in the back of the net there.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jun 20, 2014 -> 11:45 AM) Wow, CR just got screwed out of a PK. Blatant foul in the box not called. Yep, but we get justice a couple minutes later since Costa Rica just scored.

Costa Rica takes a 1-0 lead on Italy. They have looked really good again today.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 20, 2014 -> 11:08 AM) http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/prospects/watch/y2014/#list=int MLB has a top 30 rankings out the July 2 prospects. The guys that have been linked to the Sox are ranked as follows. Ynoa - 17 Nunez - 26 Alfaro - 28 I like how the Yankees are linked to like half the kids on that list. The Yankees are planning on breaking the bank for the international free agency class but it will be interesting to see exactly how much they decide to spend.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 15, 2014 -> 11:58 AM) 4 hours of shaky camera 4 hours of shaky camera work, poor characterization, and no humor or fun whatsoever.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 19, 2014 -> 03:59 PM) I meant Uruguay... Didn't that ball that made it to Suarez bounce off the head of an English defender? Just bad luck this game. England was the aggressor, by and large, and Rooney alone had 3 quality shots on goal. Game of inches...the missed Rooney attempts, the ball that almost skidded off the head of the English defender before getting to Suarez for the first goal, the ball skipping the wrong direction off the head of the defender to Suarez...and then finally the Suarez shot that barely cleared the right shoulder of the goalie before he could react and get his hands up a bit. So now it comes down to Italy-Costa Rica...then England/Costa Rica and Uruguay/Italy and possibly GD. Wonder if England will totally throw in the towel for their 3rd game? I think England's effort level will depend on the result of Italy-Costa Rica today. A draw or a Costa Rica win in that game and England is eliminated and likely throws in the towel in game 3. If Italy wins England still has a small chance of advancing.

Twitter rumors that Ronaldo's world cup is over.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jun 18, 2014 -> 09:44 AM) I'm one who generally thinks that our society has gotten too PC, but I'm on the PC side on this one. Good job by USPTO. No need for this name to exist any more. I agree with this. I think people are way too sensitive these days but no matter where you draw the line, Redskins should be on the wrong side of it.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 18, 2014 -> 10:24 AM) Would he learn how to shoot if he was on the Bulls? He has shot basically the same percentage from 3 every year so far in the NBA. He wouldn't be quite as efficient playing for Chicago as for San Antonio because the Bulls roster lacks guys who can shoot and create but he would still be a really good player.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jun 17, 2014 -> 03:30 PM) As bad as they were in the hex, they still only gave up 9 goals in 10 games. Of course, they only scored 7, so it's not surprising that they've had a 1-0 game followed by a game that is scoreless with under 20' left. As well as Ochoa has played, they still have needed to get really lucky multiple times today for it to still be 0-0.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 17, 2014 -> 11:33 AM) They have 2 championships in the last 4 years, I'll be the Heat in a heartbeat. Yeah, 2 championships and 4 finals appearances in 4 years? Sign me up for that please.

The USA is getting badly outplayed in the 2nd half so far. They really need to start doing a better job keeping possession.
