As I've said before, I believe the US will win a World Cup before the much prophecised (and seemingly delayed) African breakthrough, but that doesn't mean that they're going to win of course. T

I'm sure that's what America would like to think, and I'm equally sure there's some currency in it, but by the same logic think yourself lucky that India has never taken to baseball (3 times America's

After the 2010 WC, I predicted that it would be Germany and Brazil in the finals of the 2014 WC. I haven't seen anything to make me think otherwise. FWIW, here are the groups. We definitely have the m

What a stupid way to end a semi-final. Poor Cillessen. He's going to be torn apart.

Wow, he almost stopped the last goal. Too bad for Holland.

One co-worker is pissed, but the majority are happy.

I wanted to see a Brazil v's Arg 3rd and 4th place play off (that could have been a bloodbath)

Not sure what Van Haal was thinking having used Krul in the last game so effectively. Cillessen has never saved a penalty in his life! (apparently that's true) and to be honest, he could, no, he should, have stopped two of those, they weren't a great set. It's bound to be asked afterwards. If it ain't broke, don't fix it

For students of history though, World Cups have quite a tradition of the best team failing to win

This should be a lesson to the other teams that when you let it go to pks anything can happen.. It seems to me nobody learns.. It is never a good idea especially when you believe you are better for sure.. See ya Dutch! Now it's time for the Germans to run a muck, and bring the Argentinians back to reality! I'm calling a 3-1 German win already

I'm sick


So's one of my co-workers, and his sympathizers.

It sucks for a game to end this way, especially with such great playing from both sides.

But, I have more Argentinian (some are interns) co-workers, that are feeling really good right now, and possibly all of them are going out to get drunk for whatever reason. :beer:

Is anyone gonna watch Ned vs Brazil? I feel no compunction to. Germany seems to win a WC every 25-30 years though so seems like they're destined. Didn't they have the least travel time? Plus their custom built complex? And more rest time plus an opponent that just went to PKs. Now for Men in Blazers! It'll be better than the game.

I will because it is still WC soccer.. Granted it might be a dud because I don't think either team gives a ***t right now.. But maybe I'll be surprised?

I heard that they just switch them on and off and that the German team are on the verge of being exposed as robotic frauds in the biggest shock since it was revealed that America didn't land on the moon

I've never actually seen this many conspiracies enunciated in one sentence before.

Okay.

Back on topic, my company tally reveals that Germany is favored to win, but not by much.

A few ardent fans still feel that Argentina has a chance of winning.

Yes, the this has been discussed before and after watching the Germans dismantle everyone I wouldn't be surprised that they are robots... Especially that muller guy! Argentina will not get away with some of the things I saw against the Germans.. I feel like they need to score early to have a chance.. Remember the Germans don't get tired and if their backs play the way they have against France and Brazil good night early!

Ron vlaar although he missed a penalty was the man of the match for me. That guy did everything right won any header and almost every duel.

I bet Argentina will be watching that Ghana game tape. Algeria too. I think Germany will win (going out on a limb, eh?) but can't seem to come up with a score in my mind's eye. Probably 3-1. Maybe 2-0. I'll record the consolation match and watch on a rainy day.

      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.
