I cannot overstate how important it is to me that the GIANT SHOULDERS are gone. Those used to annoy the shit out of me. Like they ran out of animation frames and had to use leftovers from madden.

Greece is the cockroach of football. I really hope Costa Rica gets past them, just for football's sake.
