  1. Yeah I think he's the kind of guy the Jackets could use. Gritty, ugly goal scorer. Pain in the ass type guy.
  2. Old article, but provides the answers ye seek: http://goal.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/06/19/fifa-and-the-drawing-of-lots-a-brief-history/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=0
  3. So these commenters just had a short conversation on the proper way to dive. Jesus. I love the World Cup in spite of it being soccer at this point.
  4. Sweet. Then draft and free agency in quick succession.
  5. Right on the heels of a giant eye roll by the announcer. Awkward..... My volume is down, what did he say? "Oh look, another Uruguayan injury"
  6. Right on the heels of a giant eye roll by the announcer. Awkward..... Yeah that was funny.
  7. Well they are British, one of which played for England. Well yeah but it's like a local announcer calling his team's game on a national broadcast. Usually they go out of their way to be impartial.
  8. Are these announcers showing a little England bias here? Maybe I'm reading too much into it.
  9. One of the few (only?) legitimate soccer bars in Milwaukee, Nomad, built their own favela adjoining the bar for the games. A bunch of people lost their [expletive]. http://www.jsonline.com/news/milwaukee/nomad-world-pub-blasted-for-world-cup-replica-b99289714z1-262804281.html http://deadspin.com/milwaukee-bar-celebrates-world-cup-in-most-tone-deaf-wa-1589971863 http://stream.aljazeera.com/story/201406121230-0023831 The bar is donating some of their profit during the world cup to a Brazilian charity. Not sure if that was planned before the outrage (probably not). Yeah I'm sure well-intentioned but a little tone deaf.
  10. http://www.kansascity.com/entertainment/ent-columns-blogs/stargazing/article576195/Google-World-Cup-doodle-scores-sour-note-on-social-media.html I have to admit, my first reaction this morning when I saw it was that it was in poor taste. And now I see it's no longer there.
  11. Where at? I recall talk about doing a game at Nationals Park. Would be surprised if Chicago got another outdoor game so soon. They used 11 teams last year. Pittsburgh has done 3 since 2008 and has sort of lost its luster, plus they played Washington the last time. The Rangers played twice last year. Philly might be the next most popular, and nobody cares about them. The Blackhawks might be the biggest draw in the league right now, or they could bring back the Kings. But I wouldn't be surprised if any team that went last year go another so soon. I meant hosting again so soon. It wouldn't surprise me if the Hawks play on the road. They are obviously a huge draw.

  13. No problem with that at all.

  15. Nice header might have a game here after all.
  16. Damn the Chileans don't play.
  17. I read that as Neanderthalan.
  18. Damn Spain.
  19. Yeah that's kind of silly.
  20. Indeed. I'm all for Holland in this one.
  21. Goals like that are why I watch.
  22. Not nearly as much as they should. Just wait for Uruguay (Suarez in particular) and Argenina. I'd just like to watch a game where the officiating isn't disgustingly bad.
  23. I keep watching but I really do hate it. Another terrible penalty given in the Spain game. Dude stepped on the defender's leg and fell. Ridiculous. You should have to pull out a knife and stab a guy to get a penalty kick.
  24. Does the ref ever card for diving? Spain is the worst.
  25. Oh and now these goofs are going to start with the diving. Everything I dislike about soccer in this second half.
