The guy who shoots Greedo was in Tropic Thunder, Daft Punk are talking to Han Solo, Franz Beckenbauer the great German soccer player has the eye patch on in the back ground, Noel Gallagher of Oasis is in one clip, there's a few others...
I recognized Snoop and Beckham, but should I have recognized any other non-Star-Wars character?
ESPN is reporting Altidore went full speed in 5 v 2's training yesterday without the ankle being wrapped and he felt fine. As much as I complain about Altidore, he's definitely an asset and we're a different side without him.
I'd link the source but of course everything sports-related is blocked at work.
Morocco, I believe.
Is he any good? just looked him up and for a striker he sure doesn't score very often professionally
Perhaps, but the US fortunes rise and fall with Dempsey anyway...
I agree mostly
bradley dempsey and donovan are the key on the US squad
when they work well together we all do better, support from guys like cherundolo bocanegra onyewu altidore is what makes us play with brazil and beat spain
This is the World Cup I would not be talking about US beating Spain or hanging with Brazil... last World Cup they hyped the US team so much, and it was a total fail.. I recall the media discussing the US winning the World Cup...now that is just being something more than homers.
US has a team that you can count on scoring 1-2 goals on a several teams, but I don't see them dominating the pitch and controlling games with defense and ball possession for example. They lack the ability to control game tempo with good teams, it is easy for them to get out the zone and become and really shitty team as we seen last world cup.. I hope I making sense here...

Exactly. This is because their technical abilities are terrible. They can't dominate possesion because they can't pass...The first touches are terrible.
USA centric Schedule
the notes about us making it to the quarters and semi's are just to aide planning down the road for knowing when I might take off work
using an estimated 50 hours time off, been banking comp time since October
Yeah Morocco indeed, they f*7cing stink and their coach was rotten and the players lack patriotism (says my old man anyways ...lol). They can careless about the National Team... some of them refused to play during qualification because the team wasn't good enough and it would hurt their image when it comes to recruiting to play for La Liga or Premier League. Those who go on the pitch play with the mind set of .. I am not getting hurt over this... I make way more money staying healthy playing in Europe.
The talent is there, but not good organization and team mentality among players...enough ranting.
I can't speak for all the player but I do know some had to go to court for refusing to play for National team... the coach got fired after losing to Mozambique or some crap like that.
I think the US is in for a fight, I would be very impressed if they qualify and win a round... highly doubtful, Algeria will put up a fight I think.
Koreans are sticky team and will not be walked all over.
Teams I want eliminated right the way: France, Italy...and England because it would mean USA and Algeria are in.
Feel free to cheer for Nigeria or Cameroon.
I have every day off that Holland plays, keg of Heineken chilling in the fridge waiting for 7:30am kick-off
it would make MORE sense with some grammar
yes its easy for them to play shitty and dissapoint, but did you watch the confederations cup?
We will miss Davies for sure, but they can obviously do quite well then get there act together.
It should be a huge dissapointment to everyone if the USA does not hit the round of 16, and that could put us at best against what looks like a struggling German team with their 3rd keeper starting
