    I'm with NCCubbieFan and think the Cubs will lose a close, low scoring game.

    Well, unfortunately UC Davis doesn't get to play Stanford this year. We'll still pound Sac State in the Causeway Classic by 30 like we usually do. Hopefully we'll pull out a victory over Cal Poly as well. Other than that, I just hope for another winning season (we currently have 36 consecutive winning seasons) since we aren't eligible for the postseason yet as it is our final transition year. EDIT: And I will be pulling against Notre Dame as usual.

    Bill Callahan is the biggest joke of a coach in the history of football. Believe me, he will screw up your program. I guarantee it. And yes, I am a Raiders fan.

    I totally agree with you. He was an embarrassment out there. Congrats to La France. Ronaldhino wasn't exactly lighting it up either. France deserved this win. They totally outplayed Brazil in every facet of the game. I totally agree with you. Ronaldinho didn't do a thing in the whole tournament. I don't know if you took it this way, but I wasn't trying to blame Ronaldo, and only Ronaldo, for Brazil's loss. I just felt that for a world class striker to attempt to draw a foul every single time a Frenchman came at him was just completely lame. The whole Brazilian team didn't show up until the 80th minute today and, as I said earlier, just looked complacent during the whole match. It's almost as if they came in with the mentality that they were Brazil, the top ranked team in the world, and teams were just going to bow before them and allow Brazil to win, which of course is never going to happen in the World Cup Quarterfinals. France played an excellent game today and deserved to win this match.

    Cubs lose 1-0. Baker starts Neifi who makes an error to cost the Cubs a run. Zambrano pitches a complete game and gives up 0 earned runs.

    Ronaldo needs to leave and go away. Every single time a French player got near him and made a play at the ball near the penalty box, he went down. I realized that flopping is part of the game and I'm not arguing against that because that's a whole different ballgame. Ronaldo is one of the best strikers and goal scorers in the history of the game and to see him flop every single time is just pathetic. He should be going around and through the other team to attempt to score rather than trying to get a free kick for his team. World class strikers shouldn't flop all the time. How many times did you see Thierry Henry flop during this match? I can't remember any off hand but I can remember numerous Ronaldo flops. He's done. That being said, France deserved to win this match. Brazil's offense didn't show up until the last 10 minutes of the match and they never seemed to realize that they were playing in the World Cup quarterfinals. France earned this and congrats to them. I didn't want them to win, and still don't, but the fact is they earned this victory.

    Wasn't yellow card worthy though. Brazil is getting some good chances but one must ask where they were in the first 80 minutes of the match.
  8. soccer10k
    Is this what Ronaldo has been reduced to? Feeble attmepts at dives? It's getting pathetic.

    Do you honestly think that Hendry/Baker/Management didn't know the fans were upset with this team, until they decided to throw garbage on the field? Honestly, use a little logic. It's not like they don't know the fans are upset. It's not like they aren't just as upset themselves. It's not like they don't care about winning. Throwing garbage on the field or selling tickets to Sox fans isn't going to make management any smarter. Management? Problably knew. Hendry? Maybe knew. Baker? Definately didn't know and probably still doesn't know.
  10. soccer10k
    Agreed. A foul, yes. A yellow card, no.

    Glass half full. Filled with what I'm not sure....vodka, whiskey or rum? :wink: I believe that soccer10k said he was donating a couple of kegs of the house brew :) I did? I don't remember saying this, but it sounds like an excellent idea. :D

    Really do you think you should be on here typing this? Oh he has EVERY right. The man speaks the truth.
  13. soccer10k
    You had it called for Dye but I guess it has the same effect. I know I called Dye, but I was sitting here watching the game and I realized Pierzynski was coming up and knew he was going to come through. It was too perfect.
  14. soccer10k
    I much enjoyed the commentator (here) saying "But ref, I was just protecting my good looks" Haha. Why did it take so long for them to blow the whistle on the two obvious offsides a few minutes ago? And has anyone seen Brazil? Memo to Brazil, you aren't playing Japan anymore.
  15. soccer10k
    I KNEW IT. I knew Pierzynski would hit a HR.
  16. soccer10k
    It's all set up for Dye.
  17. soccer10k
    So they aren't letting the Cubs hit after the homer? Oops. Won't be a walk off then.
  18. soccer10k
    Jermaine Dye with a walk off 2 run homer. I'm calling it.
  19. soccer10k
    JACQUE JONES!!!

    How did the AJ heckling go?

    On another note for you Brits, during the match they showed a pre-game interview with Gerrard and he said something to the effect of "[England] has to try really hard because they don't have much of a chance in 2010 because it will be too hot in South Africa." I'm not sure if anyone else saw this during the match but it was a very interesting statement.

    I'm watching the Brazil-France match.

    The US made it to the round of 16 in 1994 and lost to Brazil. EDIT: Nevermind. After rereading it I'm assuming you meant that the US didn't win a game in the elimination stage.

    Because we have the dumbest manager in the history of baseball. Did Maddux try to bunt or was he swinging away? I would understand this if it was Z/Prior/Wood, but not Maddux.

    So ARam only needs a single for the cycle? I don't know what is more surprising: the triple or the three extra base hits in the game so far.
