OK all points above well taken and Belgium was a bit lucky. But I like the result. Like the Philosopher I think Brazil is in the drivers seat. At least Belgium could pull the upset. Japan would have been a walk in the park for Brazil. Most crucially with apologies to Harry Kane the best white...

I agree the Dane faked "himself" out rather than the goalie. Smack the damn ball. Schmeichel did everything humanly possible to lift the Danes but his team flubbed up. Croatia is a tough team and a hard fought win for them. I see them beating Russia and getting to the semifinals.

Spain controlled the ball the entire match but if you don't ram it in the net you could lose to a defensive oriented team. And I thought Spain got fouled late in the box with a clear shove. That said Russia's "defensive scheme" did not allow Spain many good looks. Next up is a very interesting...

Thanks to JL and the Philosopher for their excellent detailed insights. Both were spot on with their prediction regarding Uruguay. Cavani was brilliant but he hobbled off with a calf injury. Good grief hope he is fully healthy for the quarterfinal. Cannot express my disappointment over...

Nice job thanks for the 'road map" etc.. And Endsieg and others for posting here. A lot of air was let out of my sail with the Germany loss. I fear Brazil could be in the drivers seat now. Although I can't dismiss disciplined Spain who have been solid but not spectacular. I saw Germany...

RB out of Nebraska Baily Darnell commits to South Dakota State. Nebraska ignored him as did everyone else. Has excellent speed. Has a younger brother Brody (CB) 2021 also noted for his speed.

A little early (starts July 2nd) but this picture caught my eye. Maria showing Sid Crosby around the grounds of Wimbledon. Are they an item? See below. Pictures take a while to load...

The first real brutal loss of the tournament in my mind. Didn't see the South Korea game ( only could watch Sweden drum Mexico) but Germany looked like world beaters in the second half of the Sweden game but I guess that was their only good half in the entire tournament. This is a national...

Messi's gorgeous goal to put Argentina up 1-0. A tough angle but have no fear. See below.

Had to sweat through Argentina match. Things looked grim until that dramatic final goal. I believe the France-Argentina match is Saturday morning. Having Messi get through was important for a whole host of reasons. Fox TV must have been holding their breath. Sunday afternoon has another good...

MESSI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing radical here. Chief Justice Roberts carefully described the reasons why the ban is justifiable. Rather simple. If people are coming in from "hot spot danger" areas why let them in if they can't be properly vetted. We are risking a terrorist attack and as we have seen in the past the...

The important thing is that Denmark is through. It irks me that Eriksen was fouled in the box early on and the refs looked the other way. Make no mistake France is a menace as far as caste speak. There are a couple of good white players on their team but they have "drifted" into the caste world...

Actually Grayson Allen's official vertical was 40.5. And Donte D jumped 42 inches!! You are correct prior to the combine both players were seldom talked about in "athletic' terms. Allen showed speed and agility at the combine too. He is an explosive athlete and if he puts everything together...

Got a chance to watch Germany for the first time. Took in the entire match. I am jumping on their bandwagon. Up against the wall they came out in the second half like fire breathing dragons. And superb play but my fear it was all for naught as they couldn't quite manage a second goal until the...

OK genetically white but most but not all are Islamic. ( Albanians and Bosnians) That is what I thought thanks.

Xhaka is of Albanian origin as is Shaqiri. Am I missing something? I thought Albanians and (Bosnians) are considered white. Perhaps not Christian but white nonetheless or at least that is my understanding? I have known some Albanians and the thought never popped into my head that they were non...

Want an insider look at the Grayson Allen draft process with the Jazz see below. To me a perfect fit. The Utah fans will LOVE Allen and the fact that coach Quin Snyder is a Duke man I can't think of a better team for Grayson. Congratulations to this exciting talent who Coach K took under his...

I think Finn has it right. If Argentina defeats Nigeria and Iceland loses to Croatia they move on. Of course it gets sticky with other scenarios. Perhaps I am alone but when you are talking about the best and most thrilling soccer player the past 12 plus years ( who is WHITE) in Messi it...

Not sure what it means but the fact I was able to predict the white players picks this year nearly dead on raises a question. I think that when it comes to the NFL and the NBA there is CONCERN about the level of white players. Unfortunately MLB has pursued a different path openly rooting for...

There it is in BLACK and WHITE. A startling situation especially if you factor in that Olsen is a TE and really doesn't count. And the McNabb to Curtis combination only clicked for one season. Based on his stats Curtis missed half of the following season and quickly faded from view after 2008...

The hipster dumbass Argentina coach said before the match that they will utilize a different game plan hinting Messi will be more of a factor. So they go from listless against Iceland to double listless against Croatia. The goalie was pathetic. His muffed kick resulting in Croatia's first goal...

One of the few teams I am rooting for is Denmark. I missed the second half and I am surprised and disappointed they didn't beat Australia. Their defense has bended but have yet to give up a goal as Australia scored on a penalty kick and they shut out Peru Saturday. The Danish squad is mainly...

Now that they have entered the second round I have very little feel as to who will emerge. If I had to pick one it would be Spain who play with intelligence and cohesion. I did not see either Brazil or Germany but based on reports they don't inspire confidence. I have seen France and I don't...
