    Flying over Monday...will be there for basically the entire Group stage. Should be fun, but don’t think it’s going to compare to Brazil...that was a bit nuts.

    I’ve bet on the Nazis in my pool...

    Betting on Germany was a bad idea. Our inability to win in Russia is well-documented.

    Was at the game...Mexico played well and the Krauts didn’t look great. All the favorites haven’t looked good so far.

    Typically the first round of games is mostly shit. A few teams will look good from the start, but most won't. Nerves, lack of chemistry, combined with negative tactics from weaker teams don't really set up a lot of exciting match ups. The second set of games has been much improved. Finally seeing teams open up and attack, knowing that it's time to figure it out or gtfo. Hell, it took my Krauts a whole game in a half to figure out that they need to play with intensity and that a goal isn't just going to magically appear if they pass the ball enough. Argentina still hasn't figured it out.

    While I'm at it, I'll give a quick shoutout to the fucking awful coverage on FAUX. Save for the Mexican duo, the commentators are all shit and should be fired. Lack of knowledge, no personality, consistently talking but not really saying anything besides stating the obvious. I'm listening to most of the games on mute, or downloading a torrent of an English broadcast. The A broadcast team consists of a prepubescant Stu Holden, who was never even a decent professional player, and Rob Strong who never even played the fucking game in his life. I had to listen to these fucks do Liverpool games for Champions League and they need to diaff. I permanently hit the mute game when Strong said that a Klose had the ball, even though he's been retired for 4 years. Hire some decent talent FAUX, or if you insist on using dumbfuck Americans, bring back Eric Wynalda. At least he understands the game. Hope NBC bids for the next coverage contract. They seem to get it.

    I realize none of you care and I want it that way, because I am a noted Euro snob who hates fat retarded Americans, but thanks for reading! Enjoy your poor diets and fat wives!

    Fucking eh...in a Bar in Sochi and the TV went out so I’m listening to the Uruguay-Russia game in Russian like that helps at all.

    Was at the German-Sweden game...incredible game and atmosphere. Met Draxler, Kroos, and a couple other of the German team at the hotel...good dudes. Two more games then back to reality...

    Germany has always had difficulty advancing in Russia.

    I like General Wellington and Admiral Nelson in this one. Napoleon is going to meet his Waterloo.

    I just want a good clean game with no horrific injuries or post-tournament assassinations.

    Classic Mexico to play really well and get their shit pushed in by a REAL team in the knockout round.

    i think the sport would be incredible with a backboard around the goal and hockey style subs
    they have to conserve energy too much and none of the players can be jacked because it is too detrimental to endurance
    as is its pretty boring
    i guess ill watch the final if messi or ronaldo are in it

    I thought it was pretty boring too, but so far I've been entertained this year. It's just non stop. Makes me hate American TV even more. One big long dick pill commercial followed by doom and gloom at 11.
    Tell me more.

    I think we can all agree that Colonialism is alive and well in the soccer world. Eurocentric fags rigged the officiating against the New World squads
