I remember when I was 15, I had my first real enemy, a kid from the upscale side of town who went to a different school. But we were in the same baseball league, and the two of us were on the two best teams, and we were considered to be the two best pitchers in the league that year. And we liked the same girl. And I had an edge because of whatever reason she had, and that pissed him off, so he called my phone (old style phone, so whatever you had to say, everyone could hear it) and challenged me to a fight. But on his one condition: "Don't bring any of your black friends"...LOL, what a coward.

And Messi gets pulled back down to Earth. Chile will be a Dark Horse for the World Cup.

Heading to extra time...it's been a very scrappy game, some awful refereeing, Messi getting kicked to death, Alexis is a joy to watch, Funes Mori is impressive, great atmosphere in New Jersey, a full stadium. Love it. I hope the US is invited to this every time.

It's pretty cool that most of these players are Native American.

!Vamanos Chile!

I stashed him on one of my teams, but I have Villar as my SS, so Reyes is gonna have to get chucked

Might do the same...haven't bought a new shirt since 2000

Spain making a claim on Gibraltar...

It's very durable and easy to adjust, but carrying the thing around sucks donkey balls.

Nah, I was painting with a 40 foot ladder and breaking down scaffolding. My back and knee took a thrashing. #olderguyproblems

If NI leaves, then, it will get gobbled up by the Republic in due time. Sinn Fein will be looking to exploit the situation more or less immediately.

Christ, this is total upheaval, isn't it?

James Wilson on loan would be a good piece of business...

I'm more interested in the old timey hat on the dashboard...judging by the street sign, thats in the US. Looks like a Confederate hat...nice contrast with the gay pride flag.

I've slept 22 hours in the last 48. My body took a beating last weekend, but I feel great today. I think my body was telling me to stay in bed and heal up.

What did they have, Holsten?

Another Maine beauty-

Trumps candidacy is a farce. in Scotland now hitting the links and basically saying "**** it". But being ignored by every prominent UK politician on his first international excursion as a presidential candidate is unheard of, and a complete snub for the GOP nominee. Clinton will use global antipathy against Trump, and as long as she isn't more prone to shooting herself in the foot, she'll cakewalk this election. Good for the Supreme Court, bad for everyone else. She'll bomb some poor brown country within her first year.

I'm ignorant of many of the specifics, so I'll try not to embarrass myself, but as an outside observer, it seems like the Leave voters DO view the UK as special, and as well they should. Your history is one of going it alone (until you ring us) , and of succeeding as a people by not attaching yourselves to a foreign bureaucracy. But I can envision the the UK fracturing, with Scotland voting themselves out of the union, and Wales thinking about doing the same, although unlikely. NI will stay in the UK, but if this goes through, Scotland will set another vote, and they'll vote to stay in the EU, effectively severing ties with the rest of the UK. But again, I really don't know WTF I'm talking about, so Mission Embarrassment accomplished!

This is a **** nail biter...

Colombia and FARC just signed a peace treaty in Havana ending 50 years of fighting, one of the most protracted armed conflicts in modern times. Great news for the poor people up in the hills and mountains who were terrorized by both sides for so long. Let's hope it's lasting peace.

Those South American teams know each other very well, and a common language (besides Portuguese and English) binds the fans together, so the rivalries get hot, but they treat the Copa as a celebration and leave the violence at club level, particularly in Brazil and Argentina.

Bale has been dominant, IMO, nobody has an answer for him, he made the Russians looks like cripples.

He probably would pay fro free, what a true Villa hero. Maybe he'll serve as an apprentice under RDM and Clarke...
