Add the tears you collected and saved from your Spanish friends crying about their World Cup exit to the cooking liquid for extra goodness.

My Polish father still talks about Poland's two third place finishes in 1974 and 1982 with a sense of great pride, especially how Poland beat Brazil in 1974 to win third place. So while I understand that the game is meaningless and a money grabber for FIFA, it's a way for non-titans to show the world their run to the…

Referencing this?

Ron Vlaar had a solid game that everyone will forget because of that missed penalty....

People have been questioning German Leadership for years, that is nothing new.

This would be my #1: Stop being shitheads to new and casual fans

Non-challenging. I'm entirely sure what that term means to you. And you're free to not like Springsteen. I'm huge fan, but could give a shit if anyone else likes him. But non-challenging is either a bullshit term to make yourself feel superior...or you need to explain what you meant by that term.
Because Jungleland,…

Actually, I have heard about this club because I am from Kosovo now. This is a middle type team but won the league cup lately. Good young players and youth setups. I went to their academy before moving to Belgium to play. Kosovo is nice place play but rough winters in the hills could bother a men from Uruguay.…

Richardson is a mega-creep and Miley is an idiot, by why is Jez so selective about who it chooses to chastise for associating with Richardson? Are Beyonce and Lupita, among many other generally Jez approved celebs, guilty of "ignoring his treatment and harassment of women" too?

Any links to the cylinders/bus stops you speak of? that sounds really interesting.

I'm not shaming. I'm saying their way is not my way but it doesn't affect me so it's not something I need to care about.

Great post. But I have one small barely serious quibble. The US team was NOT in the group of death. Chile and Australia were.

I love the recent surge in tattoo popularity that has occurred in the last 15 years. It's a fantastic way to identify people I otherwise would not know to avoid.

Thought this was a pretty good summary for those unfamiliar with the Suarez saga, apart from this bit: "In the strongest European league, Suárez scored 31 goals in 33 games, a tally only rivaled by the video game numbers Messi and Ronaldo put up in the relatively weaker Spanish division."

I know it's the same, but this one making it's rounds will be a lot easier to keep handy if US is losing to Germany at any point.

We'd kill them in hockey, I bet.

I never comment, but had to share this story.
