Re: Who's ready for the World Cup?
Don't want to argue, but if you think Uruguay play lock down defense I have news for you. They will be taken apart by a decent team (I consider Ghana "4th best" of the African teams in WC), they are...

Re: Who's ready for the World Cup?
Ghana got what it deserved with all the acting and faking BS. Suarez, who could have and should have finished the game on at least 2 occasions in second half (how the hell do you miss from 8 feet out...

Re: Who's ready for the World Cup?
I was talking with someone about the Dutch, this past Monday, and told the guy how impressed I am with their midfield, to me the best (by far) midfield in WC, everyone is fast and working non-stop. I...

Re: Who else makes Wine?
Lance, there is no better time than now to buy a winery. People are selling and a good number in Sonoma and Napa are available.
Not sure I agree with your last statement, although a (very) small...

Re: Who's ready for the World Cup?
Great game and yet another BS call, a mythical elbow thrown. Spanish defender kept touching his head, time after time, in faint hopes that blood will start dripping at some point from a "wound" that...

Re: Who's ready for the World Cup?
I owe you a sincere apology! Seems Torres has been usurping most of both teams' time with theatrical falls and lots of hand flailing... What a clown and a waste of a talent, IMO. Just suck it up and...

Re: Who else makes Wine?
Ummm... Where to begin? How many Italian wines have you tasted? Some of them take tooth enamel off with their bracing acidity (not all do, but a good number) and when you drink one it takes your...

Re: Who else makes Wine?
Scott, so how reasonably sure are you these are dry? Especially Shiraz? If its anything below $12 a bottle (roughly speaking), I can assure it is not or rather, rarely is.

Pretty strong statement, there, partner. Do you think Port and German Riesling wine makers will agree with your POV? How about Sauternes winemakers? Amarone? Canadian Ice wine? Quartz de Chaumes?...

Rooney played well in the qualifying games. In his defense all I can tell you is that when you don't get service for 3 games and then fourth game starts the same way, by the time you, all of a...

How can a striker do anything without a ball? England's mids were atrocious though all 4 games. At about 60 minutes mark today...

And then Fabiano and...
