  1. I was going to post this earlier when CP3 was released. A washed Chris Paul still better than a young Trae Young. And $11M is a bargain for his wisdom and leadership. Now if we can just keep @Kermit from committing seppuku...
  2. What @Ted Lange has very clearly explained twice now is that Canada's group becomes a whole lot easier when two of its opponents spend nearly half of the match down a man. That is what made Canada's group not very difficult. On paper, it should've been a tough group, but Peru and Chile made it much easier for them. In other words, Canada ain't done shit.
  3. What this young Spanish side would do to the USMNT backline would constitute a war crime.
  4. Holy shit. What a solo effort. Sheebus.
  5. I instantly love and respect any ref that tells players to quit rolling around on the grass and get the fuck up.
  6. Ethpaña seems formidable.
  7. Could CONMEBOL please suspend Gergg for tomorrow's match, as well?
  8. First of a few, me thinks.
  9. Henceforth, they shall be known as the Fighting Jughashvilis.
  10. Amazing. This is why the games are played. Incredible.
  11. Not a pretty match, but very entertaining. Both sides definitely left it all on the pitch.
  12. Would love for this to go to kicks but Slovakia looks inert.
  13. Southgate or not, Slovakia's advantage will be shortlived if England keeps dominating possession and chances like this.
  14. This is true of people everywhere, though, including the U.S. The key difference is, citizens in Democratic countries have access to a great deal more data and viewpoints than they do in nations in which the state strictly controls the discourse. They're also (usually) permitted to voice their dissent without repercussions.
  15. Against the run of play but I'll take it!!!
  16. You want fresh? JJ Redick should be available in a couple of seasons.
  17. Back in the day, we called this "tubbing." And in informal pickup games at the park, there was always one fat dude or just some lazy SOB that resorted to this after about five minutes of play.
  18. That only applies if the quote immediately continues with the next paragraph, and from the same source. Once the source is no longer talking or being cited, then a close quote is necessary**. ** Unless you're Cormac McCarthy, who is too pretentious for any sort of quotation marks.
  19. Impressed with all three for actually having a somewhat civil dialog. Girls were losing points faster than they could be tallied, but at least they were listening, which is better than your average political discourse here in the States. One year later, I hope the young man is still alive and, with luck, scored a three-way with the two lasses.
  20. She won. Looked as fine as ever doing it, too.
  21. Foil C for me. That said, if the USMNT crashes out and Gergg gets shitcanned, it would certainly lesson the blow.
