I’ve converted people to soccer on this video alone. Convincing enough that everyone agreed they need to watch it in person vs. on TV.

I skipped work to watch this match. I was in a bar that was mostly full of England fans (70-30; last group games go off at the same time). England’s game had just wrapped up and they knew they were through when Donovan scored.

I never thought Howard got enough credit for starting that sequence. Obviously the goal scorer is going to be the one to get most of the hype and attention, but that wouldn’t have been possible without Howard’s perfect outlet to start the counter attack.

Sepp Blatter didn’t know who Alex Morgan was when he saw her at an event.

Yes. I recall once I put a stiff winter overcoat on my toddler son and sent him out to the backyard. He tripped of something and rolled over under a bush and because of the coat, could not maneuver. He rolled back and forth, flailing his little arms like a turtle on its back and I laughed so hard I peed a little. Poor…

“We are dung! No one can tell us we’re wrong! Searching the pasture so long! Both of us knowing.”

“Now I am become Death,The destroyer of worlds”

If you sit and have a quick think about that, I have faith in your ability to deduce why it is so.

I’m sure they would want games in Perth too, just to ensure teams have to travel along way. It appears that Perth is building a giant soccer stadium scheduled to open in 2018 that would accommodate 60-80k. I think trying to put a stadium in Christchurch would be a boondoggle. Wellington is similar in size and only has…

All for outreach-whatnots but we really need a moratorium on giving major sporting events to nations that simply can’t afford the infrastructure needed to host them.

Welcome to Kinja, Mr. Blatter.

So, I was super laid-back about all my wedding stuff - like, to the point where it was a problem because I just didn’t care that much. When we discussed the cake and had all those decisions made, I looked at my husband and then leeeeaaaaannnned in to his face with the crazy eyes, and said in that low-and-slow intense…

I’m convinced that couples who do the cake-smashing-into-the-face thing at their wedding don’t stay married. That’s some aggressive bullshit to start off a marriage.

This is, in fact, the correct answer. If Australia would have the presence of mind to suit up a team full of even it’s midlevel horrors, it would win the World Cup by default, all other teams withdraw.

My aunt Bonnie’s second wedding was a small affair in Lake Tahoe. Her cake was from a chain grocery store, which, since it was located Tahoe, did regular wedding cake business and had a pretty large bakery section. My aunt’s fiancé, Steve, picked up the cake the morning of the wedding and came back to the cabin we…

When I saw this, I thought I should share my story but didn’t because it’s so fucked up it’s almost unbelievable.

John Delaney is a bumbling, feckless idiot. It will not have remotely crossed his mind that he looks absolutely fucking awful by admitting this.

Solution: two cakes. One for the bride that looks like the Greek Muses came down from lofty Olympus and willed it into existence, and one for the groom that is actually tasty and people would want to eat.

Basically, that old tradition about sleeping with a piece of wedding cake under your pillow fell by the wayside…
