You act like judges aren't biased human beings prone to emotional appeal, just like the rest of us.

While I think they're a good squad, "I saw them play" is actually the reason to think we could run over them. They've looked like shit in the WC.

Colleges play baseball?

Maybe a dumb question, but it's not clear to me what "closer" means. How do they evaluate areas where they're both there (which is presumably most areas)? Is it somehow square mileage weighted (i.e. in a 100 sq mi town, 60% of the square miles are closer to a McDonald's so we call in for McDonald's)?

You're taking Van Persie's amazing correction for the pass as proof that the pass was perfect. That doesn't make sense. Van Persie had to make that play BECAUSE the pass wasn't quite perfect.

That's not what goal of the tournament means in practice, though. It's not a statement of objective difficulty; it's essentially "most exhilarating."

So you are a normal adult human being who goes to an occasional wedding. Like practically every other adult of your age. That's a book now?

This is giving Ghana waaaaaaaay too much credit. They were just slightly less incompetent. There was no manhandling, just one team playing 3/10 soccer and another playing 3.5/10.

He'll need to if they're gonna go anywhere. Just poor decision making by him all match.

"Besides Bradley"? Were you even watching today? Bradley's play was fucking terrible all game.

I mean, the skinny arm is a Day-1-of-freshman-year lesson for ladyfolk.

The probability of moving on skyrocketed. From like, 10% to 50%.

I mean, the Justice League movie has the people who are in the core Justice League. Which, unfortunately, is short on women. It's not really a "snub" to maintain what is far and away the most recognized lineup. The founders, current, and best known (Morrison) lineups are all male heavy. So we're stuck trying to…

Small sample. And honestly, he wasn't THAT bad. He hit over 50%, and TD didn't go nuts.

Umm. They did, though. And Wade's not in his prime.

People still play baseball, man.

Sigh. The idea that, even were USMNT to escape their group, they'd likely then have to watch Hazard tear them the fuck apart is dispiriting.

Yeah, I think it's that the variability in their performance is more obvious and thus you see the marginal push. The Big Fundamental is sorta always on, so you never really see the control case.

I don't think you get my point. Whether she was running for anything is beside the point.She was advocating the Obama campaign. As such, McCain and Palin are definitionaly her enemy. Palin was my opponent., your opponent, Hillary's opponent, so on and so forth.

Yeah, but see, this isn't a PhD in mathematics. This is like, passing calculus. An achievement, sure, but not a pie-in-the-sky one for the median motivated person.
