Real men don't give a shit if other dudes want to wear make up. Who cares.

I like how he implies that soccer is too long while praising football, which has games that are objectively, unquestionably longer than soccer.

This is true in a strictly technical sense: There is more strategic thought involved in a first-down running play that gains two yards than there is in all 12 or so hours of a soccer match.

Well holy shit, both teams went with shit defending to see who would capitalize there in the last 5 minutes. Neither team is a threat to anyone outside of group, but wow, what a finish.

The shadows and camera angles make it *really* hard to make out anything that happens during a counter.

The Swiss really got Bern'd on that set piece.

suck it sucker haters- the whole play from the pass to the header was something more incredible than you'll see in the Big 3 American sports.

Yeah, I can tell from your tone that you really are open to the possibility that some women have other goals for their body than to reproduce healthy offspring.

devian art? really? is it 2003? i thought tumblr was the thing now.

You were obviously hanging out with other cultured fancypants types. Cologne, for example, runs on beer. Plenty of beer culture in Hamburg, Frankfurt and Heidelberg too.

Just check the stadiums in most of central and west Europe. Most countries there could held a World Cup with ease. As far as I remember Germany had to do nearly nothing to its stadiums for 2006. The only annoyance was that they had to sell the sponsors food and beverages inside and around a certain distance.

No worries.

Well, GRRM is already going to kill him; I'd say there's little more we can do in that regard.

All three of them are essentially perfect players

My original post was in large part a gripe that writers on this site refuse to refer to Ronaldo as the world's best player, a title he should rightly have a claim to. If they were to say that Ronaldo, Messi, and Lahm are the best players in the world, I would have no issue. They don't. They say that Messi is…

Where was my judgement that Messi is worse? And yeah, Messi's defense is streets ahead of Ronaldo's (bringing that up for either player is silly. As far as passing, it depends on the situation. Ronaldo is a better passer on the counter, Messi better in a close quarter scenario. Ronaldo is also a much better crosser…

Oh, COME ON!

"I'd vote Netherlands or Belgium."

Here's their new, improved headline.

I've never heard anyone call the Swiss team "I Rossocrociati." Granted I'm from the French and German parts where we call it the "Nati." But when Swiss Germans say it it sounds terribly close to Nazi.... I just Godwinned my own conversation.
