I'm kinda hoping for penalties.

I'm kinda hoping for penalties.

You are an evil evil bunny CU. Penalties is just the worst ever way to go out of a competition. Its like Russian roulette except if you get shot you have to live with the memory forever.

And tough on the US to go out, they gave us an engrossing match this evening. Commiserations USA fans.

[Iason Ouabache]

The USA is now a Ghana.   

Oh well. Now I can go back to ignore soccer for another 4 years.

Penalties are really exciting.

[MMIX]

I have an unpleasant suspicion that watching a public execution might be quite exciting too - you know, something quaint and old fashioned like a hanging, drawing and quartering or maybe a stoning. A stoning might be fun because thats like a really real spectator sport . . .

still not seeing the fun here

its like tossing a coin and then shooting the loser in the foot

No.  It's really nothing like that.  But I guess I don't take the sport seriously enough to think that losing a game is comparable in scope to public execution.

I get what you are saying and on one level I totally agree . . . but my point is about the underlying emotion that is  inherent in these sorts of spectacles and yes I think you could argue for a valid link between a game of footie and a public execution on an emotional the level. Well actually apparently you couldn't but I'm pretty sure I could.

[Suu]

I admit it. I almost cried.

The USA OWNED that game, but again, couldn't score, and Ghana proved once again, it's not about dominance, but technique.

[Cain]

Germany are thrashing England 4-1.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Captain Utopia]

That just saved me 76 minutes of watching it.  Thanks, I think.

Watch the grand prix instead - Worth watching even just for Mark Webber's fucking epic 120mph backflip

Not Ferrari, Alonso - ever since Lewis taught him that he can't drive worth a fuck he's been developing his - moaning like a bitch - skills to see if he can pick up any points that way.

[Payne]

I almost poomped at Webber's backflip (which I still think is mostly his fault). And then I almost poomped with all the bad shit that happened to Ferrari during the race, especially the penultimate lap pass on Alonso by that fucking insane little Japanese guy, Kobayashi, who I love dearly. I was jumping up and down and cheering and everything, cause FUCK Ferrari.

No, no. Ferrari too. They label it a "scandal" on their site.
