It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

right cause no football players are fat. more baseball players are in shape compared to football players. that's a fact. Thank you for this correction. It's rather important that the facts are clear when we're bashing and glorifying the various professional sports. I guess it's a good thing then that fat football players only have to play 8 seconds or so out of each minute of the game. I expect someone will soon calculate how much the average NFL player is paid per second of actual playing time per season. I'm going to calculate how many milliseconds any doofus on this thread would last when lined up against those fat football players you find on NFL lines. I rounded it to 2.

I'd last 4, just because it would take them 2 milliseconds to run me down after I beat feet.

That was crazy. Ghana played three times better... Our D was horse [Bleeeeep!] lucky twenty times over. They played like we weren't even on the field. We had four shots on goal and scored two, Ghana dominated the midfield and controlled the front on a level of play like I have never seen. Wow. Haters hate away. I absorbed that game as if my kid was out on the field. Ghana was as dirty as they were technical and that guy should have been carded for the high kick to Dempsey's face. I am left with respect for their genius and a resentment of their brutality. BUT A win is a win! Go USA!!!

Played professionally for quite a while and love the sport. But, I'm having a tough time watching the game anymore because of all the BS these players pull on the field. It's really sickening the way they go down almost every time they are touched. Get kicked in the ankle, grab your knee. Slapped on the shoulder, grab your face. Biggest problem is this had made its way into youth soccer. Constantly trying to fool the refs and get the other players carded. Pretty disgusting and its pushing me away from being a fan. Players who play thru hard challenges are never rewarded, and players who go down like a $5 hooker get the calls.
FIFA needs to review these games and start carding players post game for their actions. An accumulation of cards leads to suspension. It's not just FIFA, it's the football associations for each countries professional leagues. They should review the matches after the fact and start penalizing players who embellish on the field.
Or, force these idiots to watch the NHL. Maybe then they'd be embarrassed for acting like such pussies.

Sounds like they've been watching to much NBA. Flopping needs to languish in pro wrestling and stay out of real sports.

I like that the NHL can give a penalty for a hit or whatever and still penalize a person if they fake it going down.

NHL did deal with embellishment with costly penalties. Along with the "code" that you will pay the price if you put one of our players in the box for your dive.
Hockey, and its players are BadAss... just sayin Loved seeing Chile take it to Spain today... was a great match and a good excuse to take a long liquid lunch

During the pounding of Cameroon by Croatia (4-0), I could not believe the way some of the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon acted. A well deserved red card was issued after a clear cheap shot when a LIon player elbowed a Croatian player hard in the back near his shoulder. A few minutes later a Lion player head butted a team mate. WTF! Why even show up if this is the way you're going to act? I think I'll burn my Lion's jersey that I given by local when I was there.

Netherlands dominated Austrailia
I watched Russia play Korea just for fun. Korea surprised me actually- I thought height would be more of a factor.
Just finished England vs Uruguay. They were both brilliant, crisp and unforgiving. It could have been anyone's game and I'd fear USA playing either.
Can't wait for Sunday!
