Whats to address?

Because there is no way you'll ever see such flagrant flopping in a mainstream American sporting league.

Can't wait to see all the responses talking about how it wasn't really a headbutt, soccer players are pussies, blah blah. The point is the Pepe is an idiot and a liability constantly.

I didn't take this comment as saying, "Hey other people do it too!" so much as saying that by making Terry the sole focus of all this it's sorta scapegoating. I'd worry that people will think he's an outlier in the industry because he's the only one who is being accused of anything so publicly and therefore this could…

If you happen to run into the Prince of Nigeria tell him I want my money back.

Well, it's 2-0 now, after Messi's brilliant goal, BUT for me the most exciting fact of this match is that Bosnia really brought it. They are fighting, and it's really impressive. I have tickets to see them play Nigeria next week. I will now be cheering for them.

idk. BH impressed me with their calm in the back and balls into the box. wonderful save by romero.

Pretty standard underwhelming performance from Argentina. This squad is begging for a playmaking midfielder.

Well, yeah, that's kind of the point.

Can't blame him, it's a pretty amazing moment for Bosnia.

Bosnia has such a talented squad, especially that guy whose last name ends in -ić.

Its hard to blame the ref for biting on the dummy pass, its designed to deceive. He's gotten it wrong, but he doesn't have instant replay.

Apropos of nothing to specifically do with this game, but check out this piece about what World Cup teams would look like without immigrants. Not just players who decided to go elsewhere, but kids of immigrants, too. http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/…

What the hell was Japan doing last night? I don't think they strung five passes together at any point after the goal. They made no effort whatsoever to keep possession, everything was forward whether it was there or not. They probably deserved to lose even worse than they did.

I literally walked away from my TV, and came back 5-10 minutes later and saw it had gone from 0-1 to 2-1. I couldn't fucking believe it. Like what the hell happened?!

na, japan was holding on for dear life. they were just physically outmatched. ivory coast had plenty of chances and japan was giving it away way too much. it was only a matter of time before the dam broke.

I think you mean the Reinheitsgeböt.

I think you mean the German beer purity law.

We always do that! It's great.

I don't know how ESPN is broadcasting it in the USA. Here in Brazil the channels raise the volume of the crowd mic so you can hear the stadium really well, boy let me tell you the crowd is basically as if Chile was playing in Santiago, they are chanting Ole Ole Ole Chile Chile and even during their national anthem…
