Americans are stupid!
edit: Jeez, I think Lalas just scared the crap out of Rossi.
There is no way Rossi is going to answer that, to be fair to him. He has hopes of playing for Italy again.
That's fair. I wasn't commenting on his opinion (why they have him commenting on this game is beyond me, he understandably can't possibly be objective) as much as on his nail-on-a-chalkboard delivery. He's painful to watch.
The way I looked at it going into the competition, 5 points (win over Croatia + 2 draws) was likely the best possible outcome for Ireland. If they get the win today, they have a really good shot at 2nd place, provided they can pull off the two draws. And if Croatia can help them by beating either Spain/Italy, then they really will have a fighting chance to advance, which is all you could hope for going in. A rematch with France in the quarterfinals would be delicious.
Now I have to go on radio silence as I'll be time-shifting the viewing of Ireland-Croatia...
So they have a good chance to advance if they don't lose against Croatia, Spain and Italy? Sounds like it's in the bag!
Terrific header, though.
Do not underestimate the power of Robbie Keane's pointing finger!
Boo Croatia for not wearing the sweet checkerboard tops.
If his form in LA is any indication, that's his best weapon this year.
EDIT: #### Keane. I don't want to think about him.
I think so. It was a pretty soft header.
Yeah, but it wasn't his fault. He had 3 goals in 5 starts. What more do you want from a short term loan.
1-1 it is.
Well, check out who they've played, though.
You understand the unique situation Bradley is in, right? Teams are not lining up to play Egypt right now, and the players aren't exactly crazy to play for Egypt either. They have to make do with what they have. He had a number of players retire after the massacre.
Sure. They played Brazil a couple of times since he took over but since the revolution it's been slim pickings. I'm not blaming them for their schedule, but it is what it is. By all accounts the Egyptians are happy with the job he's doing.
They love him in Egypt. My girlfriend is an Egyptologist (yes I know that's not really a word) and she doesn't know a thing about soccer but knows about him because he's become such a noted figure.
And as I type this, it finally gives way.
EDIT: Should have been offside on the first touch though.
"Egyptologist" is a word! Jan Assmann, for example, is an Egyptologist.
I assume you could argue that the two Croatians wasn't in play when the shot was hit, and was in play but not offside when it bounced of the Ireland player. It would be rather convoluted though. It would be easier to say that they affected the play and it was offside when the shot was kicked.
It's a word, but from what I understand it's not one that's used a lot in the Egyptologist community.
Anyways, she was going to be in Egypt this week but with the instability decided not to go. I really wanted an Arab Contractors shirt, that's the name of one of the teams in the Egyptian Premiere League.
Is there an ass crack on the team badge?
No, but they do wear yellow.
I was taking this game as an opportunity to practice rooting against modric just in case he goes somewhere horrible this summer, but I just can't do it.
Especially not with his new Eight Is Enough haircut. I'm just hoping the Real Madrid rumors are true.
I guess that would only qualify as slightly horrible.
I think that's the least painful option available. At least he's not going to Chelsea.
Are you referring to Dynamo Kyiv's own Niko Kranjcar?
I suppose 4 points in the best Ireland can now hope for (draw Spain, win Italy), but 4 points probably doesn't get you through, as you'd need a lot of help to get through with just 4 points given the rest of the group.
If Croatia win against Italy and Ireland loses to Spain, Croatia's through, right? You have to think dusting things off before their game with Spain would be their goal right now.
If Croatia wins another game, they are through no matter what. 6 points is guaranteed advancement in a group where there's already been a draw. There is no configuration of results that could get three teams to six unless all the matches produce 3 points.
So a miracle 1-0 result over Spain is what is needed... Given the way they can defend badly, I wouldn't put it past Ireland to nick a goal, but they're only going to have the ball for maybe 20% of the game, and it seems far more likely Ireland loses 4-0 or 5-0 than wins 1-0.

Tahiti will be representing Oceania in the Confed Cup. That Brazil v Tahiti match up will be epic!
Arsenal look like they're going to sign Olivier Giroud, which I find interesting as in the games I've seen him play he strikes me more as a traditional #9--more Cisse than Van Persie. I also wonder if Podolski and Giroud coming in mean they are assuming Van Persie is headed out, though Giroud would be a BIG freaking improvement on Chamakh as an extra forward. Gervinho, Walcott, RVP, Podolski and Giroud would give Wenger a lot of toys to play with up top and a lot of cover in case of injury.
edit: I forgot about Ox, too. Sheesh! Meanwhile, Spurs have Jermaine Defoe under contract...
The England lineup. No Downing, no Carroll.
I mean I knew England was gonna suck. But wow, do they suck.
Which is quite a staggering fee for a centre back.
If they have that kind of money burning a hole in their pocket they should just cut to the chase and pay off Messi's release clause.
It's not too bad. Not great, but not horrible. It's weird that they already have to rely on Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Great googly moogly!
Get up and get get get down
FFP is a joke in your town...
Yeah. Leon Britton, maybe? Not that England would ever consider a Swansea player, it seems. Tom Huddlestone if he was ever fit could play this role. Huddlestone being fit is just a dream, though...
Yeah, spending some real money is better than to dribble out 40 mill here and 40 mill there, it's a real statement of intent that you're not some ordinary Man City-class club, that you're far, far crazier than your predecessors.
They have one, but Wilshere is injured(Cleverley too, but he hasn't proven himself nearly as much as Wilshere). Of course, even if Wilshere were healthy, they would start Gerrard or Lampard ahead of him...
Britton's transition from a player who creates absolutely nothing to a player who creates absolutely nothing but is inexplicably hailed as a creative midfielder is a source of wonder to me.
Woah, thanks for the heads up. Bet placed.
You'll have to pay crazy money in salary on top of that. I don't see Messi leaving Barca for less than 400k a week.
Net.
Whether or not Hollande raises the top rate to 75%.
Eh. Flags fly forever, etc., etc.
