Sh*t!

Greece needs to pick this up now... I really don't want to have to take chances with penalties! They couldn't convert on a 5 on 2 break... :sad:

Greeeeecceeee!! :D They need to get this in extra time now!

I'm hoping he does too, but Greece has got to pick it up now; Costa Rica just scored, and has been threatening for a 2nd now.

You got that right, foobar. :icon_grin:He caused a lot of uproar in threads, but I always had a good laugh with his battles with Thrashen and Rebajlo. I agree that those battles were pretty good, haha. I was thinking of him, and read through the 1st part of the Euro 2012 thread and was pretty...

Fred and Jo have been terrible. Even the Brazil fans have continuously booed the pair for their complete lack of any skills. You're right, from watching the last part of the game, it seemed like Hulk was really the only Brazilian who consistently did anything for them in terms of creating...

Huntelaar!!!! 2-1 Holland!!

Wesley Sneijder with the goal for the Dutch!!!! I'll be happy to eat my words with that one. I bet to gave Lens a chance to unlock his unlimited potential. :icon_rolleyes: Huntelaar's way better than Lens is. he should've been in the group stage games at some point.

He definitely has; I thought he'd do at least decent. Huntelaar comes on for Van Persie; let's see if he can do anything. Van Persie was really quiet today as well.

They definitely are again today.. Depay, Indi and Wijnaldum have done exactly nothing today. I think I've heard Wijnaldum's name about 1 time in the 2nd half... he's been a total non factor. The Dutch could sure use Strootman instead of this bum right now.

At least one of their black starters is playing because Kevin Strootman and Rafael Van der Vaart were ruled out of the World Cup with injuries. It sucks Holland has black players, but as the Philosopher said, I don't think anybody is gonna be attributing their success to the their two black...

"Weird" how that works, isn't it. ;) Rodriguez has been superb this tournament so far. I have no doubt these guys can beat Brazil the next round.

Thanks foobar!! This post is definitely a lot better than talking about Algerians, etc. I'll add a couple pictures to yours: Miroslav Klose and his lovely family. Bastian Schweinsteiger and his girlfriend: I sincerely hope that Loew has seen the fact that Schweinsteiger a class above...

One guy who I didn't think would get drafted because of the caste system who did get drafted (with the 3rd pick in the 2nd round) was Virginia guard Joe Harris. From watching him countless times in college, I can tell you he's a gifted athlete and definitely has the skills to succeed in the NBA...

Well, Saric is now in Philadelphia; it looks like Hawes is gonna be on his way out with that trade, coupled with the Embiid pick.

Gee, this LaVine kid was on the BENCH for an above average UCLA team this year and that gets him a lottery pick. Even the analysts said he's no wear close to NBA ready yet, so than why waste a pick on this guy?? :wacko::dodgy: Such is the very crazy world of the NBA Caste System. It's worse than...

Yep. He's now a Bull. They have Jimmer, Hinrich, Dunleavy, and now McDermott. Saric to the Magic... damn, I was hoping he'd last till the T-Wolves.

That would be great if he said that hahaha but the media might not take so kindly to it though. Russia did not look very threatening today in the last part of the match that I was watching. As has been said, they're a very average side, but nonetheless, I'm disappointed that they couldn't get...

Stauskas just got sent to white player hell.

It's amazing that no matter how many players Deschamps shuffles in/out of the French lineups, it's always 5 whites, 5 blacks, and of course, Benzema (1 Arab). As you've said, nope, there's no quotas at all... :dodgy:

Here's an article about Dempsey's childhood with a photo... he's the third kid from the left. Dempsey's definitely white. http://soccerblog.dallasnews.com/2014/06/flashback-long-weekly-drives-to-dallas-part-of-young-clint-dempseys-trek-to-world-cup.html/ With Thrashen's article, I think this...

Messi's been playing great so far!! It's been fun watching him. On Dempsey, everybody I know considers him white. If he was part-Mexican, I think the media would've said something by now.

That's disgraceful; I hope he's done as well. He didn't do anything for them this WC. So much for "Super Mario." Also, Prandelli resigned today too: http://www.espnfc.com/league-name/story/1909296/headline That'd be great if Russia could join Argentina, Greece, Uruguay, and Germany (Holland to...

What a finish for Greeeeeeeeeece!!! That's a great ending to the day of football right there. That's awesome news for an all-white team; hopefully Russia can join them Thursday!

I'd have to agree with that, Don. In my co-workers and group of friends, I was the only one following it in 2010; now about 75% plus follow it with interest. I'd say the World Cup interest is a LOT bigger this year.
