Bradley shone (and not just his head). Brazil's dominance in mid-field was simply embarrassing. Their goals were sheer brilliance. Beaten badly we were.<br /><br />Wifey's uncle was titular clan head. Thus, we wear the tartan. Me mum's family got run out of Scotland early and settled in Ulster 'til they got run out of there, too, and landed in Appalachia. I suspect we don't have much longer there either.

In fact, I've no clue about any of the Old World branch of that side of the family, which is my paternal line. The maternals are all Germans, so of course we know every fucking thing in the world about them. Or we would, if I listened to that third cousin drone on at those family gatherings I avoid like short gingers.<br /><br />It's usually easy to get me to take cheap shots at Landycakes, it really is. But I'm not sure when he last wanted to be a ten. He may still think of himself as one, I dunno. But the true ten...I guess religious icons should be rare, huh?Landruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11954074164878242561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843455.post-90317761746704308702012-05-29T22:56:34.926-04:002012-05-29T22:56:34.926-04:00Rectified @ WoW = langame[dot]wow@gmail[dot][you k...Rectified @ WoW = langame[dot]wow@gmail[dot][you know].

Lovely Keith itself is, of course, Speyside, on the whisky river.<br /><br />Turns out the Brazil match is going to be streaming on the interwebs ESPN3.<br /><br />So, wearing the number 10 doesn't necessarily make you a ten. But makes you a wannabe 10.Jim H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02088100982761595050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843455.post-932777165269838072012-05-29T16:10:50.318-04:002012-05-29T16:10:50.318-04:00I've been to Chester.

Abby had a good game; Morgan had a better one.<br /><br />I'm dismayed by the number of footy fans who spurn the womens' game. I find them to be insufferable assholes.<br /><br />I have reached epistemic closure on Landycakes, and it's not a nice closure. That said, I think he's most effective playing from one side or the other. Obviously, he's more comfortable on the right. I don't think he's a true 10, though he gives it a run every time he's forced into the role.<br /><br />You will find your DC homies unwilling to give the Redskins money so that we can see Brazil.

I haven't been able to find an address for you. If that's not your style or speed, no worries, it's just occurred to me to write you a time or two.Landruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11954074164878242561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843455.post-84188266444293897492012-05-28T14:16:34.024-04:002012-05-28T14:16:34.024-04:00The kits?

I'm, unfortunately, ballless and can't rant worth fuck. But godammit I love a good one, and this was that.<br /><br />Begging forgiveness ahead of the flame war this will inevitably start but I thought AW got MotM. Weak, sexist attempts at humor aside, I love the USWNT. Thanks for that account for those of us who didn't get a chance to see it.<br /><br />Now, getting back to a previous matter: Do you consider Landycakes a true 10? I know he owns the number on the USMNT. Messi, no doubt fills the bill. And hey, a hat trick plus an assist, and he didn't have Dempsey to work off of and to.<br /><br />Oh, and when I was Edinburgh last summer, I was informed in no uncertain terms that the two top sports everywhere in country (except Glasgow) were rugby and golf. This is the kind of drubbing our boys are expected to dispense regularly if they are going to make any progress internationally.<br /><br />Oh, and is the US v Brazil really going on in Landover on Wednesday? You better fucking be there and report back.Jim H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02088100982761595050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843455.post-79591838627208170282012-05-28T11:31:11.839-04:002012-05-28T11:31:11.839-04:00I've got your epistemic closure right here, cu...I've got your epistemic closure right here, cupcake.purplestatenoreply@blogger.com
