  1. Thanks. Had my off-the-bench bomber in VC; THJ fills that role long-term. My team would take their lumps for a year or two but barring major injuries, they would come together nicely.
  2. Great read. Melo really should have gone to Chicago.
  3. Messi was Argentina's best player in the group stages even though he drifted in and out of games, but I think Mascherano was more influential the rest of the way.
  4. Fully agreed. He was amazing in 4 out of 5 games and even though dirty tactics stifled him in the 5th, he still had Brazil trembling late in that game. .
  5. Been a fan of Pierce whenever he wasn't playing the Heat since '08 but I think the biggest thing he does for the Wiz is passing on sage advice to Wall and Beal.
  6. Agreed. It's such a shame talents like Reus and Gundogan couldn't play a part in this part. They should be squarely in their primes come 2018 though. Scary indeed.
  7. Couldn't have said it better. I got a text saying he was leaving by my cousin and thought he was trolling (he's a Laker fan). Wish LeBron all the best but this hurts.
  8. Argentina are a resilient group but I can't see them stopping Germany. On another note, Sanchez and Debuchy look to be wrapped up and and Remy should be next. If Arsene can secure a quality holding midfielder, some cover for Mertesacker and Kosh and a backup goalie, it'll be the perfect summer transfer window.
  9. This is a bit late but...still flabbergasted? lol
  10. I thought it was going to be a snoozer too. He was dog tired at the end but Campbell really impressed me with his toughness. France/Nigeria should be really good. Germany/Algeria could be interesting too, especially considering the history.
  11. The inflation on English players looks even worse this summer with how the World Cup campaign went. As talented as Shaw is, injuries or a prolonged loss in form could prevent him from being that 15-year rock. We'll see how he does.
  12. How do you feel about paying that much for Shaw? He's talented but that price tag is ridiculous.
  13. Never gets old. No fs given.
  14. Ref should have played advantage there.
  15. Expendables 3 trailer. More geezers and explosions! Yeah!!!
  16. Nice pick. One of the best young building blocks in the league.
  17. Two goals in less than two minutes between Agentina and Nigeria. Let's go Naija! 2-2 to 3-2 in a few minutes. Wow. Think Ogenyi just broke Babatunde's arm with a volley.
  18. Agreed. Shows how deep they are to be playing this well without Falcao.
  19. Colombia are going to be a really tough out in the knock-out stages.
  20. There's the equalizer. Come on Ivory Coast!!
  21. The world's most popular sport. It's the group stage. You still get a point which often keeps hope alive to enter the knock-out stages. Nothing, but the US could play a potentially worse team in the next stage if they finish first, so they'll be pushing for the win.
  22. Ghana/Germany was really fun. Loved Asamoah's last-ditch tackle on Muller. Going to very interesting to how the group plays out. I actually have the US winning. I can't see Portugal looking as poor as they did against Germany but I think the US can definitely upset them.
  23. Another well-worked goal. Honduras and Switzerland aren't good teams but the way France has dispatched both of them with ease has been impressive. As always, they've got the quality to win it all but unlike teams from past few competitions, this team seems to have the organisation and hunger.
  24. Sweet counterattack. Nice assist by Giroud.
  25. Happy to see Giroud score. 2-0! Wow...
