Looks like they gave everything they had in those first 20 minutes to get the goal, and they pretty much spent themselves in the process...they had NOTHING in that second half, it was disgraceful....everybody associated with this debacle needs to be fired.

An opinion piece I was reading this morning said the result would have ramifications for the vote in Greece tomorrow. A Greek win would embolden the anti austerity forces so expect so expect that type of effluent to hit the rotating device.

The media have left me with the impression that only Americans have a problem with rampant obesity, but your photos completely dispell that notion.

The only individuals in those photos who aren’t fat are the players themselves. People of Walmart, lol? How about Fans of Soccer?
