Fun fact: I own a copy of every single Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass album on vinyl, including three different copies of Whipped Cream and Other Delights.

The Chilean national anthem might be my favorite thus far in the tournament. I'm not sure if it's the fans, or the acapella bit at the end, but it's intense.

That's amazing.

Care to elaborate?

Another thing to consider about Jacksonville is the fact that Shad Khan owns Fulham and has had a big hand in promoting American football overseas. The Jacksonville brand has been growing in large part to his uncanny ability to promote the United States in markets that are pretty foreign to us (in terms of sports). He…

I'll get my shirt off the roof tomorrow. Tonight... WE DRINK!

I call your Country Shit and raise you some Gangsta Shit... O-U-T-K-A-S-T, ONP, G-Double-O-D-I-E. So fresh, so clean.

"My role model used to drive a Saab." One of my favorite 2 Chainz lines/references. Solid song choice.

Are the any prop bets for Suarez getting... Uh... Hungry?

Belgium is that tweener team that should become the new Holland (because of how huge, fast and talented they are), but there's something about them that makes me think 2018 is more their year.

Off the top of my head, the projects I've really liked have been:

I have friends that want to watch, but have no real interest, or knowledge, of the sport outside of the World Cup. I really don't mind it because I'm all for people being pumped for their country. It helps that I have a pretty diverse group of friends pulling for more than just the US.

I want Iran to shock the world and somehow advance purely due to the fact that they, by far, have the best hair in this tournament.

I still keep up with their new releases. Ska still holds a place in my heart. The song I posted is from their newest album. It was a solid record.

In the last 10 days I've gotten two raises at work because of yearly evaluations and a promotion. Life ain't so bad.

Hmm... The only artist/band that really took off from my hometown is the ska band Streetlight Manifesto. I was a huge fan of them in middle/high school before I even knew we were from the same place.

The US are dark horses with no hope?

You saw what he did for Chelsea in their improbable CL run a couple years ago, right? He also just had a pretty good season for Gala.

If, and only if, CR7 and Portugal run deeper than Argentina will there be a debate of who the best in the world is. I think it's a lot closer than you do, Greg.

I would suspend this dude for a very, very long time if I were in the MLB front offices.
