    I disagree, this be like the Gauchos of Argentina and Italian immigrants, they are the exception to the norm here.

    Asia's real standard ain't that high, the Japanese are in a stratosphere of their own due to their great farm and developmental and foster system.

    The Koreans will undergo the last days of Son and their silver generation.....the new crop ain't that good.

    Everyone focused on golf carts, but honestly, shouldn’t the team eating pizza be a giant red card during the World Cup.

    I love her and I would sit next to her and drink my whiskey next to her if that were to happen...

    ...which it unfortunately probably won't. Scotland is unlikely to get one of the 3rd place spots.

    On the fence going out to watch the US game tonight. Being a "dead rubber" (another fantastic Brit saying) and the late start, probably just watch this at home.

    Could be some chaos today depending on results. On paper, Ivory Coast should handle Curacao but who the hell knows. Germany should handle Ecuador. Netherlands will thump Tunisia and win that group on goal diff...unless Sweden put up another stinker against a solid Japan. No idea what will happen with Australia and Paraguay. Would the Aussies really play a low block against Paraguay? The ball might not leave the center circle for large swaths of that game. Pretty good bet for a 0-0 there.

    Embarrassing. Even though they treated it like a friendly in the second half with Kimmich, Wirtz and Nmecha off for guys who would've never seen minutes in a real contest... still, that's not enough and I'm afraid the injuries of Schlotterbeck, Karl and Gnabry will cost us a deeper run.
