Yes kids, America is ranked in the high teens in science education. But we have circles of parity to discuss so it's all good.

Patriots win. Where is the story about that, hmmm?

He was from my hometown. There is a good documentary on presidential impersonators out there.

Yes, they really are. I take vacation days for the semifinals and usually a quarterfinal when it's a team I like. I live in Brooklyn and so the games are shown everywhere but weekday games have slightly fewer crowds.

He had a mainstream Hollywood movie come out imaginign his assassination, he had protestors at his second nominating convention with pre-aligned TV angles - rough stuff. I miss him. His 2000 nomination speech is to this day the best speech I've ever heard. I burst into tears during it, actually.

I watched this game in a bar in lower Manhattan and it was awesome. Ronaldo's timing of when to kick, always right as the defender starts his dive, completely seems to fake out the goalkeeper. Three f-ing goals! Forca Portugal!

Love stories about beautiful young people are just overrated. The inner lives of lesbians is of course a worthy artistic concept. Judge the movie on that.

I was in a bar watching the World Cup games and wondered who would be roped into sitting in the background there. Sometimes it is so obvious sports are a sickness in America. BTW, Deadspin, please report more on some mid-major college hoops! Woo-hoo!

Ronaldo, a teetotaler who mostly praises his teammates, can score form the left, center, and right as well as do headers. Messi cannot. Ronaldo has also played in much high stakes games than Messi. I'm taking time off work tomorrow to go watch this game. #ForcaPortugal!

All your recipes are basically cheese porridge.

Coffee is also cheap, but the "thrid place" aspect of a cafe/bar is what you're paying for. I went out to watch Game 6 for the public atmosphere. Paying $6 for a pint to cap the day and chill for 45 minutes after a long day at work is worth it to me.

The chocolate vs. fruit candy divide must be addressed. I am a firm fruiter - Skittles, Spree, Starburst, Nerds - that's candy. Chocolate bars? Pass.

Ronaldo is a teetotaler who posts mostly about how good his teammates are. Messi was investigated to tax fraud. Ronaldo has played in WC semis; Messi never has sniffed them. I think Cristiano Ronaldo is way preferable to Messi.

Since when is the Funbag published on Tuesdays??

I have a pair of shoes I wear on those raw, rany, semi-slushy days. Dry days I alternate three other pairs. Snowfall days and slushy days I go with gumshoe boots. I am male.

Ronaldo's Facebook page is full of praise for Bale. Ronaldo is only 28. He and Messi are still the faces of this. Their international support is migher than these two and will be for some time.

I check the progress of playoff baseball after two hours and they're usually only in the 5th or 6th inning! Two hours to get towards the peak! Outrageous!

You mean the World Cup qualifiers, not the UEFA qualifiers.

I was in Lisbon this April during the UEFA playoffs when both Barcelona and Real Madrid got destroyed. An open-air cafe serving beer and with a projector screen set up to watch the match: priceless.
