I watched one baseball game this past year. 26 commercial breaks, almost four hours long, and the ball was in the field of play for a total of 71 seconds the whole game.

I'm a baseball fan, but the boredom level of that sport has gotten to new extremes.
 
I've soured on baseball the past few years. Being a Mets fan doesn't help. Too much time between pitches, and now with 3 minute video reviews twice a game...Zzz.
 
That 2nd goal looked pretty saveable. Guess the goalie thought it would go wide.

No way.

That shot dipped at least 3 feet, very hard to read as a goalie, especially with a wall in front delaying the reaction before the goalie sees it even more.
 
Eh meh, maybe. It's not the hardest curve shot I've seen. Pretty sure a goalie of Buffon's caliber would've gotten a hand on it...
 
Suarez grew up in an extremely poor home, perhaps it may have also been a broken home. He couldn't even afford shoes to tryout for the youth team in the U. Children who come from broken homes are sometimes ****ed up beyond the normal personal issues, honestly this is the third time, there is something psychologically wrong with that man. I hope that he finds the help that he needs to control his impulses while frustrated or angry, he is a great player but he acts like a pissed off little kid.
 
He's not the best player in the world right now.

At this very moment, he certainly is. This year he had a rough go with a few injury struggles, but still had a fantastic season.

He's the best player in my mind and quite easily, to be honest. This world cup performance is just cementing that.
 
Messi certainly would have my vote for best player in the world, right now... although some people denounce that because of his lack of star appeal. Ronaldo has the babes, flaunts his body, even has the sharp haircut to tie it all together. Star appeal. Messi looks like some random jamoke you would encounter on a street and not even notice.

I have to think that another guy that should warrant a lot of consideration is Benzema. Guy is a stud. Not as good as Messi, but man, he's dominant as ****.

Id take Ribery before Benzema

Well, James Rodriguez is not worse in this tournament and this is "at this very moment". Did you watch Colombia-Japan? Did you see how the game changed when he came in? Rodriguez' playing a hell of a tournament, like Messi.

Enjoy Messi for another 90 minutes at this tournaments, after the next game it's over for him and Argentina! We will beat them with our "Swiss Messi" (Shaqiri).
 
Uruguay's association issued a statement and they appear to be in denial. IT'S ALL A CONSPIRACY!
 
I really expect your guys (USA) to get a score draw today.

Make no mistake, if you told this German team, they need to take 4 off your lot to qualify, they could, but the chance to eliminate a team that may cause them a future problem (Portugal), and the fact that they have already qualified for the next round, they won't wanna risk injury or suspension.

They are not qualified yet. :sarcasm:

Best case:
Portugal win 5-0 and USA win 4-0. :laugh:
