History lesson: In the 1995 Copa America, the USMNT beat Argentina 3-0 on South American soil, won their group, advanced to the semis, and narrowly lost to a Brazil team (1-0) that had won the World Cup the year before. Not really a “new situation” at all.

It’s 3 over age exceptions. And Neymar (maybe you’ve heard of him) is among the people that sat this Tournament out in order to get ready for the Olympics. Many, many other top players were left off this roster - Thiago Silva, Marcelo, David Silva, etc. Sure, they won’t all be on the Olympic roster, but two of them…

In that 1993 draft, Webber went #1 and Penny went #3, because the Sixers decided to draft Shawn Bradley over Penny, Jamal Mashburn, and a host of other noteworthy players.

How is this even a first round series to begin with? They had the 2nd and 3rd most points in the Western Conference, and the 3rd and 5th most in the entire NHL. But hey, they play in the same division so let’s make them first round opponents...? Great system, hockey.

You do realize that “D-Day” was not the beginning of American-British involvement in the war against Germany? What do you call the invasions of North Africa, Sicily and mainland Italy, not to mention the strategic bombing campaigns of both the USAAF and RAF?
