The odds that I would be bitten by Suarez is probably 1 in 7 billion or so. No worries.

Jimmy Kimmel Live took to the streets to catch people in their lies by asking a simple question: "How did Landon Donovan play in Brazil?"

I read a few tweets saying that most of US is taking a four year break from being a Soccer fan. I was never a fan of Soccer, but I support my country in everything and that's why I followed the World Cup. And since we didn't win it all, the World Cup is garbage! lol

And it will be not enough for the german team as well because of this stubborn dickhead we call our coach. [palm] [palm] He played 4 central defenders on defense all the games and will continue to do so. No pressure on the outside, because central defenders are not supposed to go north and south. And one of the best outside defenders plays midfield, where he's completely lost and steals a spot for a real midfielder. 😳 Özil, who was a pure catastrophy in every single game, keeps his spot in the starting lineup, keeps his spot because according to Löw "he was one of the best players in 2010". WTF?? The best players of 2014 should play.

Half of the team is playing outside their regular positions, only because Löw wants that. That makes this team only half as good as it usually is, just because of freaking stubborn Löw.

We'll get our asses kicked by France tomorrow and hopefully Löw gets shitcanned right after that. He just screws what we call "the golden generation". As you know I called for his head before the world cup started, now 95% of fans and media are on my side.

FIRE LÖW!!!!

Lahm back as right defender, Schweinsteiger and Khedira midfielder and Klose forward. =d> =d> I don't know who put something in Löw's drink yesterday, but it's well appreciated. That looks much better for today's game.

Now a final against the Dutch would have high potential. A W against Netherlands would be the icing on the cupcake, but losing against the "Deichbauer" ..... no, I don't even imagine that 😳

Brazil, Germany, Argentina and Netherlands. Congrats to all.

I had 3 of them in my Final Four. Spain laid a giant egg.

It is not that I don't respect Netherlands, I just expected more than Spain showed.

Too bad Brazil is short. Both semi final games will be epic. Germany and Argentina for the Cup with die Mannschaft rolling.

I wouldn't mind seeing the passion that Brazil and Argentina would generate.

As long as you're not playing against Brasil and the ref at the same time.

We'll see what happens. I feel like none of the teams have looked dominant, while facing mainly "lesser" competition, very much like in 2010.

Brasil didn't look that good against Mexico, Chile and Colombia. Germany had a really tough time against Ghana, the US and Algeria, although they did get a W against one of the stronger teams in France. Argentina needed OT to beat Switzerland and didn't take dominant control in a very weak group F. And we ourselves have had a lot of difficulties getting the ball in the net against Mexico and Costa Rice, coupled with a weak game against Australia.

It really depends on who has a good day.

dfosterf (23h) : And/Or a city council, of which I haven't seen a good one in a very long time
dfosterf (27-Mar) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
dfosterf (25-Mar) : A major foul will be enforced on the offense if there are offsetting penalties in a change of possession situation
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Teams will receive a 3rd challenge if 1 was successful. Previously, it took 2
