World Cup 2014

After my close encounter with Papa Francesco I ride with Argentina

 

Haha nice JQK. I had a similarly close encounter, but I only have it on video and don't know how to post them. I guess I'll cheer for Argentina as well, even though I expect Germany to roll.

Did you ask him to cure your fear of Catwoman?

 

Really blurry. Is that Justin Bieber?

 

My fear of Catwoman is a healthy one

 

Ouch

But...

 

Not that one

 

Need to stretch more in pre-game warmups, IMO.

 

and

 

I knew I recognized him from 2006. I always see him, just like that French guy they always show during La Marseillaise. (I remember he used to hold a bird. This tournament he had a trophy.)

 

Apparently Scolari refuses to resign. I can't imagine he'll be able to keep his job.

I wonder what his legacy in Brazil will be going forward. He was the coach when they won in 2002, but that was a far more talented team.

 

Except for Germany, on Sunday.

 

There is no way he will get to keep his job. He is old, and 7-1 loss, on home ground in a SEMI-FINAL, will get you shitcanned faster than it takes for NYY to get naked and lubed.

 

He loves his defensive midfielders. Going from Ronaldo to freaking Fred and Jo is quite a dropoff. They've got quite a few guys who are great guys to have on a team but they were just missing that spark of Brazilianness that their best teams had. It's a shame Pato's career has gotten derailed, I wonder what they'd look like with him in-form and up front with Neymar

 

He told JQK to quit fighting it and come on out of that tight little closet.

 

That's what I'm hoping

 

The game Tuesday was obviously inexcusable, but if Brazil is waiting for a team like their 2002 squad, they're going to be waiting forever.

 

What, cannot always have 3-4 all-time greats on the same squad?

 

me too
