  1. USA soccer lives - I'm calling it right now, World Cup 2014 champions! Seriously, though, Jurgen Klinsmann seems to be the right guy for the job. I love the youth movement on this USA team and how Klinsmann gives a bunch of guys chances to play.
  2. Community, anything USA puts out these days, toss in a few of those "do-it-yourself" shows when I have the time.
  3. Sad that Brazil could probably field 2 teams that could compete for a WC or Olympic Gold and we can't even qualify. I'd heard some good things about young US guys like Lletget. Still the shock to me is that Uruguay chose Arevalo over Forlan. I know Forlan isn't what he once was, but Arevalo over him?
  4. I've been driving an '03 Celica for about 10 years, and I just bought myself a 2012 Mazda 3. I do a ton of driving back and forth between southern Delaware and New Jersey, Philadelphia, etc. so the most important thing to me is gas mileage at an affordable price.
  5. Mario Balotelli was terrific today. And Buffon was Buffon. So much for me thinking Germany was the best side in the tournament. A/N: People keep questioning whether Ronaldo should have been slotted earlier in PKs for Portugal, but the fact is Bento's decision making in part got what I think was a subpar Portugal team to the semifinals of the European Championships.
  6. Germany is annihilating Greece. The look by far the best side in this tournament. Penalty kick meant nothing at that point, but it was stupid anyway, IMO.
  7. That's true - Messi has grown up with guys like Higuain and Aguero, not to mention Tevez and Rodriguez that were around when he first came in to take some pressure off. Ronaldo has had a barrage of players come in an out - Postiga is just hot and cold, Almeda and Nani have been in and out of the lineup, etc.
  8. I agree it's him and Messi, what I meant was even people who say he's overrated still call him a top-5 player. But up until this tournament he hadn't really done anything with Portugal at a major tournament - 5 goals since 2004. And that's what people say, that he doesn't show up the way other top players do for their national teams. Now in one match he scores 2. And he's got a great opportunity IMO to help Portugal advance - the Czechs somehow got through despite giving up more goals than they scored, and I think Ronaldo can really do something against them.
  9. Cristiano Ronaldo finally scores. Maybe that gets the monkey off his back finally. I know his team isn't anywhere close to as good as his Real Madrid team, but come on, even his worst detractors acknowledge the guy is a top 5 talent, and he NEEDS to play better than he has been for his national team.
  10. I've thought about renting it, but some of the themes i.e. necrophilia, etc., I just don't know if I want to bother watching them.
  11. Just saw Prometheus last night. I personally didn't think too much of it.
  12. I suppose I can admit I'm Jersey-born, but grew up in Lewes, Delaware. It was nothing but farm country when I grew up - the Rehoboth Outlets have really changed everything - economically for the better I suppose, but I stopped going to the beach in the summer a long time ago - waaaay too crowded and touristy for me. Fortunately there are still a few good early and late weeks every year that I can hit before big-time crowds arrive.
  13. The one with Danny Trejo?
  14. Sweet. I thought my eyesight was going bad, but at least I know I can still count.
  15. One question: Is that a cat staring at a computer screen with a second cat starting at a computer screen with a 3rd cat staring at a computer screen of a 4th cat staring at a computer?
  16. Soderbergh? Did Traffic, and all of those Ocean's 11 remakes.
  17. Was she even in that movie? Haven't seen it in at least a decade, but I just remember Jason London and a young Adam Goldberg (and the only reason I even know who Adam Golberg is, is because of The Hebrew Hammer).
  18. Lol. "I'm gonna cut yo' name into him."
  19. My favorite part, IDK why, is the part where Bill Duke's character goes nuts after Jesse Ventura's dies. I think the movie would have been even better if he'd stayed alive.
  20. A lot of people who went to early screenings said it was basically a poor Bourne Identity knockoff. Not sure if I'd pay the money I'd have to to go see that.
