I almost want to say, it's soccer and anything can happen but I can't see powerhouses like France and Germany losing today.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 29, 2014 -> 07:58 PM) How did Campbell play today for C.R.? I tried to wake up at 4 a.m., then 5 a.m. around halftime and couldn't quite motivate myself to get up... Yeah he did. Scored on his PK too.

Greece deserved to lose that game. You can't have a man advantage that long and not capitalize.

Won that bet haha. I bet on a tie at the last minute and squeaked by. $100 turned in to $215.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 29, 2014 -> 02:31 PM) He can be a career backup easily. I think Tflo was more efficient as a back up for sure.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jun 29, 2014 -> 01:15 PM) I wrote that Mexico should've kept attacking. Holland went foward but Mexico didn't try and control the ball, they just went to full defensive mode with way too much time. They had this game but didn't go for the kill, this game was winnable. The Robben penalty was a flop but the ref didn't call the clear one near the end of the first half. Anyways, it was a nice showing considering Mexico looked like crap in the CONCACAF tourney. Yeah I agree with this. Get that second goal then consider the turtle. I hate that playing to preserve a lead strategy; play to f***ing win.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 29, 2014 -> 12:58 PM) Yeah, I agree. They don't play teams like Netherlands very often, but I don't recall seeing Mexico play that defensively. Pretty crazy ending. They didn't send that many men forward. I know you want to avoid counter attacks but still, they need a 2nd goal before you goal full blown turtle.

Damn Mexico should have just kept attacking. That turtle s*** can always back fire.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jun 29, 2014 -> 09:59 AM) That is a horrible way to decide who to bet on. Plus the group with Italy,Uruguay and England isnt looking that great now that we've seen how those teams played. If I had to play this game, I'd take Greece at PK +100 for first 90 minutes. If it ties then the bet is canceled, if Greece wins then I get paid 1/1. Alright I'm going with your advice zen hopefully you don't let me down or else... What about if I bet tie for the first 90? That seems like it would be a solid bet.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jun 28, 2014 -> 07:13 PM) Yes sir. Ok will both games finish in 90 or extras?

Would the wise bet be Netherlands and Costa Rica for victories tomorrow?

Glad that monkey is off the Sox back.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 28, 2014 -> 02:53 PM) I can't imagine what Hahn thinks watching his at bats. His swing is so ugly. "I only gave him a one year contract, thank god."

Should have just suicide squeezed.

That's not Jose's style. He always looking to hit. That was ball 4 though.

Fun game.

Do we break the Saturday curse today?

That's good Alexei is getting a day off. Maybe Avsail is back =)

Will the Jays cover the 1 1/2 spread?

Thanks all. Just pressed my suit and shaved so hopefully it'll go well.

I think it's easy to second guess a manager here just because it didn't work out. Javy had no business falling behind Cruz and then throwing a fastball like that to him.

Yeah I'm confused he blocked the plate pretty hard there.

Had a phone interview on Monday now I have a face to face interview tomorrow. Hopefully I get this gig.

That pitch tho... wow
