Permission to panic Rice?
I understand that... And I don't think it was in either. I'm just saying...due diligence...that's all.
of course i get the whole "drinking and sports" deal.
but seeing people at a bar in the morning in America watching the World Cup is funny.
and im sorry, but going to a bar at 6:45am is crazy (see: stupid)
granted.
For the 2006 WC, I was at Kells and they rented 10 extra 50" screens. They were stumbling distance from the office and my boss lived in Norway. He was in town for the whole tournament and paid the tab.
GGGGGOOOOOAAAAALLLLLL! And a fight in the net.
Yikes. I thought we were going to see another goalie red carded...
Nelson Ha-Ha to Italy...
Dude...soccer's equivalent of the alley-oop there...
The funniest thing about that moment (aside from the 2 drink minimum at 6:45am) was that the place was PACKED. Standing room only, and barely enough room for that. Absolutely no way to get a table, so we drank our beers (for breakfast), waited until the game finished, got a table, ate some food, and then went back to go to sleep.

(Kelly's on the upper East side in Manhattan, by the way)
2 minutes to tie it
Never say die attitude...exciting game!!!
nothing like taking your time
WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Fvck Italy. It just goes to show that flopping, diving, and trying to draw penalties will only get you so far....
(except the last WC, of course, when flopping, diving, and trying to draw penalties won them the whole thing)

On a sport related note, Isner in the 5th 70-68.
wow! The Azzurri bow out.
Who are the favorites now? Argentina?

That finally ended?
'Bout time.
Seriously though, how crazy is that?
they have been pretty dominate in all 3 of their games
Spain's still in contention. I have a hard time taking Argentina entirely seriously with Maradona behind the bench, but they are a talented squad.
Yes, and you can't count Brazil out of it yet, either. If Messi steps it up in the later rounds, Argentina will walk through everyone. But Portugal is also a contender.
Spain hasn't looked all that hot, but you never know.
Who is the dark horse in the round of 16?
Actually, you know what, you're right. I'm sure that the only people in that bar were a bunch of drunks who would've been there anyway. It's not like people all across the country showed up at bars to drink and cheer their team on....
Well, it's not filled out yet, but Mexico and Slovakia are the two teams I'm most surprised to have seen advance so far.
japan killing it!!
Honda kicked a curveball

Totally killed it. What a crappy game for Denmark
Wow, Japan looking to make a run. This should be an interesting KO round.
Holy Sh*t, we agree on something!
Ah well my teams out.
Still at least we finished higher than those Italians!
I'm also picking that NZ gets a higher world ranking than the current 78th place.

I know, I just meant going in to the tournament. They had a tough draw.
I had an idea about fouls. Wouldn't it be an interesting experiment to do away with regular fouls in soccer. This would leave only yellow and red cards. So a foul is a yellow. Two of them and you're out - that sure would change the dynamic of play... not sure if it would solve the problem though.
No fvcking way. Have you seen how many fouls get called in a game? Every game would end 2 on 3 or something. Everyone would get sent off.
NZ will not only move up in rank, but I am guessing some hefty offers from club teams as well. They were awesome to watch, same with the Aussies.
There have been some damn good games so far. My bracket is f'ed though.
<edit> They just did a Paston highlight reel. Damn, he is my new favorite keep.

good game on today brazil v portugal any predictions ? i'm hoping portugal wins this one .
2-1 Brazil. Portugal goes up but they rally.
That's my pretty random, largely baseless prediction du jour.
