North Korea...definitely non-cliched!

For some reason, I don't think I'd be able to walk into a pub in blood-red suburban Atlanta (or rural western Illinois, where I'll be visiting family through this weekend) cheering for the North Korean national team and expect to leave with all of my extremities.

Go for the Dutch, then. No one really dislikes them bar the Belgians and there's probably not many of those buggers around either Atlanta or rural Illinois.

Messi had a better season than Ronaldo. Neither are great for their country; Ronaldo hasn't score for Portugal since Euro 2008 and Maradona doesn't use Messi properly. Messi's probably the better player and he's younger but both are superb.

Kingfisher, there isn't a lot of money to spend. Only made a profit last year after selling Ronaldo. Who will it be this year?

So excited for this...I don't care who's playing, I'm going to try and watch every single match. I'll be rooting for the U.S. obviously, Ivory Coast (because of Drogba), and Netherlands (because I like orange).

As for a breakout candidate that will garner a huge transfer fee this summer, look for Mexico's Giovani Dos Santos.

Dos Santos has shown so little in his time at England. Good technically but not up to the pace and strength of the English game. He'll not move for a big fee.

IMO he really hasn't been given a fair shake at Spurs, but I do agree that he isn't quite strong enough to handle the rigors of the EPL. If he has a good World Cup I can see his value going off the charts.

He'd maybe bump it up a couple of million but I can't see him going anywhere for much if any more than Spurs paid. I can see him staying at Galatasary; he had a good spell there and it's about his level.

Or you could play it super-safe and cheer for USA.

Then cheer for New Zealand, first world cup in 28 years and just as bad if not worse odds to win it all than North Korea, the ultimate underdog, and the only thing your relatives could get pissed off about is the fact that we don't let your nuclear powered navy ships in our ports. C'mon everyone - second favourite team = New Zealand (at least until the group stage is over and we go crashing out)!

yeah... the Reds had an off season... hopefully some off-season tranfers and signings will bolster the team. They really belong in the top 4.

I don't think it's been mentioned yet, but Drogba is OUT.... barring a super fast healing from his surgery. He broke his arm in the friendly vs Japan. Ivory Coast is going to have a hell of a time making it out of pool play now with Brazil and Portual.

Drogba practiced today and he's schedules to play their opening match on Tuesday... I guess he's a fast healer

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner.

      Day 2 (10 Mar 26) - Worked on weight shift feel using slap stick drill (hands about 6” apart - coming back weight on trail foot - down - thru weight on lead foot….moved it to hitting chips w/9i playing what I call “leap frog” - hit 1st about 10yds, the next a couple past the 1st, for about 6 balls total.  Love it as the lies change, the distances vary making each swing slightly different.
