Biden is biding his remaining time as number two Socialist Democrat. It works best for all if he becomes a full time Ribbon Cutter or officiator of new barns and dog houses.

Anything less than the Championship will be seen as a disaster in host country Brazil.

I'm pulling for (in order):

  3. England

(Yes, I expect to be disappointed.)
