So uh - why exactly is the spotter there? :D

Tyler knew!!

Obviously we disagree here bhamv. :eek: I get the point you're making. But if they want to use a bigger sample size, then get a bigger sample size. The WC format allows for 3 group games. Flukes happen, but in a 3 game format you can't just wash it away as a fluke. All teams come in with...

Yes - your points all seem to lean toward the "what if" games. What if - Team B's best player got a red card in game 1 & couldn't play game 2 vs Team A? Team A is better suited against the 4-3-3 that team C plays than the 4-4-2 of team B? The referee gives a controversial PK to team B...

Except, you know, for that one time when Team A actually played & beat Team B. In this scenario, not paying attention to anything else, both teams are 1-1-1 with 4 points. Things like differential & goals scored can't take into account things like the fact that Germany got to play a half a...

At this point - you have a 3-way tie where A>B, B>C & C>A. THIS is what things like differential & total goals scored are for. But when there are two teams involved in the tie, there is no excuse to not use H2H result as the first tie breaker. The ONLY reasoning, as mroosc said above, is to...

I understand that's the way the rules are set - but how does that make any sense? I believe FIFA is the only one who does it this way. If it comes down to me & you are tied, and I beat you the only time we played each other, how can anything else possibly come into play? I guess I should...

OK - so which of you smart guys out there wants to tell me how FIFA's tiebreaker system works? Somehow - if USA loses & Ghana wins (thus both having 4 points), Ghana can get through on goal differential even though the US beat them in the head-to-head matchup. How does that make any sense?

Have I mentioned how much I hate Time Warner Cable? From the 40' mark on, all I get is audio. Oh I get perfectly fine picture when the locally generated ads come on. All the other channels are fine as well. So I switch to the ESPN app on my XBone. Only problem is the feed is about 90...

It's the US and our overly litigious society. The new american dream is to have someone "wrong" you, & then you sue the hell out of them & anyone else that has money & hit the jackpot.

PHRASING! somebody had to say it Also, regarding anything being more than 15 minutes outside of the city effectively the South, I had just heard a comedian from NYC make the same point at a show a few weeks ago.

Holy lensflare Batman!

YEAH!! FUCK THE POLI- oh uh... erm. #notallcops

*sigh* /inhale NO ONE CARES THAT YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT THE WORLD CUP!!!! SHUT YOUR CAKE HOLE YOU SELFISH ATTENTION-WHORING JACKASS!! /inhale Seriously. The same thing happened for the Super Bowl. My twitter & FB feeds fill up with posts of people making sure that we all know how little...

And once again a troll gets his wings :facepalm:

No, but Tony Cox - the limo driver from Me, Myself & Irene, & the elf in Bad Santa - was an ewok.

Too soon

:oops: Hehe - never occurred to me it was original video. Guess I'm so "icanhaz"-itized that I just assumed it came from the nebulous internet. But - it's out there. I stand by it. I'm guilty of it as well. "Hey I don't need to brace my phone while I take this picture at maximum zoom"...

Thank you. Not sure why the camera wasn't stationary in the first place

I... HATE.... SAUERKRAUT!!!!
