- So I guess we're not using spoils today. -- nm - BP Jun 18, 08:54 10
  - ST has been rather spoilery on most of the WC so far in general - ty97 Jun 18, 08:59 5
    - That doesn't mean that common courtesy should be abandoned on purpose. I know znu didn't do it on purpose, just a minor slip. -- nm - Shaun Jun 18, 09:01 4
      - We should use spoiler warnings. We shouldn't all come down on znu's head alone for what has been common practice the past seven days, though. -- nm - ty97 Jun 18, 09:02 3
        
        People have been scorned earlier in the week as well. -- nm - Shaun Jun 18, 09:03 2

    - Not an excuse. -- nm - Shaun Jun 18, 08:58 1
      - Agreed. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 18, 09:00
  - oops, my bad... - znufrii Jun 18, 08:55
Wait, Milla Jovovich scored a game winning goal today? Now -that- I'd watch. -- nm - David Jun 18, 08:48 2
- When they win, does she take off her shirt? -- nm - Fuzzy Jun 18, 08:50 1
  - perks of Womens football indeed -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 18, 08:50
FIF plase remember not to put a ref fra Mali in his first worldcup game in such games in the future -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 18, 08:47 2

[deleted] 1

- That was a horseshit call - Stephen (Status Seeker) Jun 18, 08:43
Hee. Spanish goalkeeper's girlfriend blamed for loss -- (link) - Reagen Jun 18, 08:41 7
- Hundreds of Spanish fans posting on soccer websites - Danedukenuuk Jun 18, 08:52
- She sounds like a sweetheart. -- nm - David Jun 18, 08:42 1
  - What I like is that she's dating the keeper and her network still sent her to cover it. - Reagen Jun 18, 08:49
- Didn't they try and blame the England tie / goalkeeper's flub on his ex-girlfriend? -- nm - JaxSean Jun 18, 08:41 2
  - It's wrong y'all. Just wrong. Like that pantsuit I wore that time. -- nm - Jessica S. Jun 18, 08:48

Paul McCartney says his two favorite songs he's written are Blackbird and Here, There, and Everywhere. -- (link) - loosilu Jun 18, 08:36 5
- Blackbird has become a favorite ever since "I am Sam". -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 18, 08:43
- not huge on blackbird but HTE is one of the three tied as my favourite -- nm - zork Jun 18, 08:41 1
  - I'm the exact opposite. -- nm - loosilu Jun 18, 08:42
- it's no "Two is a crowd" -- (link) - Danedukenuuk Jun 18, 08:40 [youtube]
- I'm waiting for his new country album: "That One Legged Bitch Stole My Money and My Dog" -- nm - Beaker Jun 18, 08:37
I have to admit. I watched about 90 seconds of the US WC game a few minutes ago and... - Mel Profit Jun 18, 08:33 4
- The top of the screen indicates which colours the teams are playing in. -- nm - LMS Jun 18, 08:37
- they are playing in a copy of the 1950 jerseys (the WC in Brazil) - Danedukenuuk Jun 18, 08:36 1
  - I did not realize that - znufrii Jun 18, 08:37

- They'll get $5 out of me for a ticket. -- nm - Shaun Jun 18, 08:31 4
  - me too. (i never win lottery stuff, not even free tickets. but, whatever.) -- nm - Andie Jun 18, 08:37 3
    - if anyone should play each and every time - it is you - good luck! -- nm - Epiphany Jun 18, 08:42
    - Clearly the odds are atrocious, but the reward is a little bit better than the risk :) -- nm - Shaun Jun 18, 08:40
    - *rubs Andie to steal her luck* -- nm - Beaker Jun 18, 08:39
Damn, Good save. -- nm - celedhring Jun 18, 08:27 1

Damn -- nm - amoxy Jun 18, 08:27
Suler got lucky there -- nm - LMS Jun 18, 08:26
oy, was I blind when I dressed this morning? Vertical stripe patterning on my pants, horizontal stripes on my shirt. -- nm - ty97 Jun 18, 08:24
[deleted] 17
- and several reviews say it feels interminably long - ty97 Jun 18, 08:26
- I've heard Jonah Hex was a bad movie...I've never seen it but I have seen the house it bought me...and the STD's Megan Fox gave me. -- nm - Josh Brolin Jun 18, 08:25
- I'd still take the too-short movie trend for awhile to reverse the gawd-awful "goes on at least an hour too long" trend. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jun 18, 08:23 7
  - I agree -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jun 18, 08:24
  - As Ebert says, no good movie is too long and no bad movie is too short. -- nm - Reagen Jun 18, 08:24 4
    - See, I disagree with this. An over-extended movie length can actively disaude someone from watching it. Even if it's not a bad movie. - Name Withheld By Request Jun 18, 08:28 2
      - I can agree with you to an extent, especially with BB. I doubt I'll ever watch it, mostly because I'm not that interested in it... - Shaun Jun 18, 08:35
      - Re you IM, it was a massive burden to get through. -- nm - LMS Jun 18, 08:32
    - *ding* If a movie is awesome, it could be 5 hours for all I care. -- nm - Shaun Jun 18, 08:26
  - I agree with this and even an 80 minute film like When in Rome can still feel like forever. -- nm - David Jun 18, 08:23
- in.sane. -- nm - Beaker Jun 18, 08:20
- 73 minutes? Can you even legally call that a 'feautre film?' -- nm - Shaun Jun 18, 08:20 5
  - as I recall, that's the bare minimum. -- nm - Reagen Jun 18, 08:23
  - with my viewing of Prince of Persia last night and it being 2 hours and feeling like 4 - I'll take 73 any day -- nm - Epiphany Jun 18, 08:22 3
    - PoP not a good summery flick? -- nm - Shaun Jun 18, 08:26 2
      - it is a good summery flick - just know it is long -- nm - Epiphany Jun 18, 08:37 1
        
        Thanks. I actually doubt I'll see it in the theatre now. -- nm - Shaun Jun 18, 08:42
With regards to last night's officiating... - David Jun 18, 08:15 4
- I'd love for this to be the cause of the lose but... - Mel Profit Jun 18, 08:41 1
  - In a game where the Lakers shot 32% from the field, giving them twice as many free throw attempts is giving them the game. -- nm - David Jun 18, 08:46
- Was it wrong of me to hope that maybe Lebron would leak where he planned to sign right as the finals ended? - Jim Jun 18, 08:20
- This. - Stephen (Status Seeker) Jun 18, 08:18
No Foul? -- nm - amoxy Jun 18, 08:15

Enough WC. LEGO releasing 2500+ piece Imperial Shuttle model -- (link) - oblique Jun 18, 08:13 5
- wooljutlanders baby -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 18, 08:17
- This would be more awesome though. -- (link) - Shaun Jun 18, 08:15 3
  - I had the Puzz3D Millenium Falcon, which was also a pain to build. I finished it a few years after getting it as a prop for a short movie I made - Guigue Jun 18, 08:19 2
    - ie. Worth it. -- nm - Shaun Jun 18, 08:21 1
      - Totally -- nm - Guigue Jun 18, 08:22
Dawson: The Yankees have so many fans partly because they DO win so much. - ty97 Jun 18, 08:12 26
- [deleted] 24
  - Not only an US phenomenon really. Baskbetall has taken off in Spain lately because of our successes after being ignored during the 90s -- nm - celedhring Jun 18, 08:17
  - [deleted] 22
    - we do? - Danedukenuuk Jun 18, 08:18
    - Switching teams in a sport is viewed differently than going from no interest in a sport to some and cheering for your home country. - Reagen Jun 18, 08:18 14
      - [deleted]
      - that where you find the difference between an fan and a sorts fan - Danedukenuuk Jun 18, 08:20 2
        
        a large proportion of American soccer fans are casual, sure. -- nm - Reagen Jun 18, 08:30 1
        
        there was this docu on "Boca Juniors" on last week - Danedukenuuk Jun 18, 08:34
      - [deleted] 9
        
        i think americans shoul always root for america nomatter where their forefathers came from - Danedukenuuk Jun 18, 08:24 2
        
        America! F*ck yeah! -- nm - znufrii Jun 18, 08:25 1
        
        it has improved a lot IMO - Danedukenuuk Jun 18, 08:28
        
        sure, if the USA is out, pick a rooting interest. - Reagen Jun 18, 08:22 2
        
        Yep. Whichever team you would cheer for in a head to head matchup is the dominent one. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jun 18, 08:24 1
        
        heh i doub't the danes will go trough even if i cheer a lot for them :) - Danedukenuuk Jun 18, 08:30
        
        Which counters CQ's point really. If there was disdain for soccer, people wouldn't be deciding which team to cheer for next. It's like ice skating at - Roger More Jun 18, 08:21 2
        
        (and personally, it'll be a long dark day before I cheer for the country of my forebears :) -- nm - Roger More Jun 18, 08:21 1
        
        especially if they were from Poland? - Danedukenuuk Jun 18, 08:25
    - People have limited time to follow sport and they prioritise. -- nm - Roger More Jun 18, 08:18

    - We like and "support" the USA team. We just don't *watch* the game. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 18, 08:17 2
      - Kind of like us for the World Baseball Classic. Go Canada, but not like I'll be watching. -- nm - Shaun Jun 18, 08:19 1
        
        I wonder if more people watch one game of the finals of a sport (World Series, NBA, Super Bowl) than all of the other "daily" games combined. - JaxSean Jun 18, 08:21
- the winner takes it all -- nm - ABBA reunion tomorrow? Jun 18, 08:13
WC (spoils obvie) - Danedukenuuk Jun 18, 08:12
Of course, Notre Dame football is the "winners vs. viewership" contrarian. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 18, 08:12 1
- yeah, it's not a direct 1:1 relationship (winning = fans, losing = no fans). But it is one factor. -- nm - ty97 Jun 18, 08:13
Which players did the Grizzlies draft with the Lakers' first rounders? -- nm - David Jun 18, 08:11 4
- Big Country!! -- nm - Shaun Jun 18, 08:19
- The 2008 one was Donte Green who was then traded to Houston. -- (link) - Will Hunting Jun 18, 08:14 2
  - So, that winds up being Darrell Arthur, who has been a non-factor. There should be at least one more. - David Jun 18, 08:19 1
    - Thbey have this years' #1 from them as well. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 18, 08:43
We just like to be the under dog. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jun 18, 08:11
