Yea! I come from a family of swimmers! MY sister, my dad (his younger years) and my brother did a bit!

And not only that, i have an autographed paper from Mark Gangolff, a gold-winning (2004) swimmer, who happens to be my friend/neighbors uncle!


Very nice, @omegap12!

Put it this way, football fans and NFL fans know how they like their sports, and let's keep it that way.

Of course. But you can't deny that soccer/football players flop quite a bit. I can't even count how much flopping I've seen in the past couple weeks with the world cup.

Only a few people in football flop, but they do it constantly. It's irritating and grating. But it's only a minority, so I won't say they do it "quite a bit". I don't think I've seen a lot of diving at the WC though, just a lot of theatrics (i.e Muller getting slapped by Pepe and winning an Oscar).

How bout that Man City?


Booooo. I'm going to scream at the screen during the Community Shield.

These poor sods in the team got it hard then.

Jerome Boateng - Ghanian German
Mesut Ozil - Turkish German
Shkodran Mustafi - Albanian
Sami Khedira - Tunisian German

Tad disappointed by his performances in the WC though. Solid, but not spectacular. But that's his style I suppose, he's so composed and masterful he's nonchalant.

Well, I'm not a huge fan of soccer, but I still root for USA.

I am putting money on Chile over Brazil. Then going with Columbia over Uruguay.

Master Race won. Sacrificed my sleep watching such a frustrating match. Lots of tackles and fouls by the Americans.

I'll still put my money on a German Brazil final, but who knows!

What a match by the American Goalie, though. Shame he was the only one to show up to the game for his team.

Costa Rica is outta here! What a shame, that would have been a great victory for them...

Now it's down to Germany, Brazil, Argentina and the Netherlands...

I'll still put my money on a German Brazil final, but who knows!


I'll take your money... Germany plays Brazil on Tuesday, so unless Argentina and the Netherlands both lose somehow whilst playing against each other... go ahead, take the bet. =)

They didn't deserve to win the game last night though, although there was a 50/50 penalty chance for them....I hope the Argentinians smash them Dutch though.

I'll still put my money on a German Brazil final, but who knows!


Forgot about the selection order!

Le Tour de France has started! I went to watch the first stage in Yorkshire. Aside from the big screen malfunctioning, I had a great time, and am looking forward to following the rest.
