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 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.

Fan Shout

dfosterf (2m) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (1h) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (18h) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (19h) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooo 8 point game with 4 minutes to go!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooooooohhhhhh he missed!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ohhhhhhh Zero is in TROUBLE
