Yeah, I was almost killed by friends for wanting them to beat France.. I do not want them to win it all however.. Hopefully England can pull it off now.. I just doubt it..

Frustrating. They had their chances and didn't put them in. At least we got beat straight up. Hats off to Ghana...we played the way people said THEY were going to play. Talented but can't finish...sometimes unorganized. Disappointing end but this has still been a fun ride.

Mom's basement? Is that your best smack? Jesus... you are losing it in your old age.

I "bandwaggoned" it for about 15 minutes once before being lulled into a long slumber from uber boredom.... I faked an injury, rolled around on the floor until I found my remote... and I was saved.

Aren't you a bit presumptuous thinking any of us will give a flying turd what YOUR experience with this was?

Theres a chance Japan may be disallowed, but I wonder if CONEMBOL might reconsider and invite the United States instead.

Mexico is pretty much a staple now in the Copa America Cup. There's really only 1 slot and I didn't know the invite already happened for Japan.

Just got back from the bar. That sucked. Gotta hand it to Ghana's defense though, every time we had a chance to take a good rip, they had a defender in the ball's path. We took a ton of shots that just bounced directly of Ghanaian defenders.

You've GOT to be kidding me. Buck gives me an infraction for "innapropriate language" for THIS??? Buck must be too stupid to understand sarcasm. Then again he must be a ****head like Bugeater who stalks me like a pussy negative repping me after every comment I make. If you are going to give me an infraction let me at least earn it. Buck. You are a stupid mother****er. Bugeater. You are a piece of cocksucking shit who ****s young boys up the ass. There. Now I've earned my bullshit infraction.

He's obviously in a very deep mental funk at this point. Did you see the poor kid's face yesterday once Cesc came in to replace him? Once Fernando scores a goal, I think the floodgates will open up with a vengeance for him. He's had a couple of 100% chances in a couple of games they played and the shit just won't go in. However, having said all that, I don't think Spain necessarily needs Torres scoring goals at this point since David Villa is pulling straight magic out of his cleats.

Bradley: Pulling Clarke was purely a card risk decision, he's a good man

This. Maybe Arsenal if they actually sign some US players.
