i hope mexico loses 450-0 today and blanco blows out his spleen

I would be happy with someone other than "the 7" and it looks like that could happen this year with four of them gone. :clap::clap::clap::clap:

and i like that tevez looks like he was attacked by a lion and survived...

Although Maradonna is best known for the "Hand Of God" goal in 86, in that same game he had one of those Pele-esque goals where he whirled through 8 people over the couse of 3/4 of the filed and drilled it past Shilton.

Greatest goal I've ever seen in WC play.

damn!

mexican shot from like 30 yards off the post

I'm rooting for the netherlands (clockwork orange) from this point forward... they haven't played brilliant, but they've gotten the job done and they're classical underachievers (see also: kansas city chiefs).

Easy to relate when you put it that way.

Believe that it's regarded as one of the greatest goals of all-time.

Finding it hard to argue. Maybe Klinsmann can work up some bullet points about American Exceptionalism.

Refs decide another game. Lovely.

ROFL


maybe the dumbest defensive gaffe i've seen

mexico gives away a goal

FIFA is going to ruin this wonderful game with their stubborn insistence on relying on luck.
