Continued from my blog of yesterday, I beleive no one should graduate high school with a semester of Civics AND US Politics. People will contend that there are not enough hours in the day to do this, when US students are already not learning English, science, history, and math. That does not mean you should not teach these vital courses, it means we need to...

WE hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness--That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed...
Just a snippet of the Declaration of Independence.
So sad that...

I've only encountered a few that aren't about independence day, or American sports (as in rooting for us as a nation, and all are European soccer fans it seems or to one end of the political spectrum).
That is it exactly. Go down swinging.
Hollywood Klinsmann is making the right noise. We did our best, made it out of the group of death, and gave Germany and Belgium much more than they wanted. Klinsmann is looking as if he likes his position, and wants to finish the job. Let him.

I beleive that in 20 years or less, the United States will win the World Cup. I might live to see that.
I beleive that in 40 years, the US will become a dynastic team, as Germany, Argentina, and Brazil are today. Every four years, the US has a legitimate chance to win the big dance. I doubt I will be around to see that....

Well apparently we are bidding for 2026, so when I'm 41/42 maybe I'll get one here. :S
I have 24 Buds and hot links sausage.
Make me drink in celebration, and not have to drown my sorrows.
It is easy. Play like you did against Germany, and that will be good enough to beat Belgium. Granted a year ago, Belgium won 4-2. That was a different team, what Belgium will see tomorrow will be something new. A coherent team. FIFA does what...

Needed to make the move earlier ---- which has been a harbinger of these Klinsmann teams and something I've talked about since he's headed the team up. That Green goal will shut a lot of people the fuck up though. Man oh Man.

We did not beat Germany, but the boys are through to the knock out stages.
This was, of course, the Group of Death. Of course it was. The US was in it. Very few gave the USMNT a realistic chance of advancing, and here we are. Ghana was the voodoo team. Portugal has Chistiano Ronaldo, the best player in the world. Ronaldo is not his...

I love how some are trying to spin it as "Amerikans dinnae kno sawker".
This is it. Win or a draw. You have worked to control your own destiny, and you have done so.
You have prepared for this. This is why you have run all those miles, lifted all those wights, spent all those endless hours on the practice fields, just trying to find that one little thing that leads to victory. England, Spain, and Italy are already...

Well, that sucked. It could have sucked much more, but it all seemed so grand for a few minutes. So, it did not suck as badly as the season finale of Game of Thrones, which really sucked. Um, bitch, you will need those dragons. Also, you did not do a single nude scene this season. Though your assistant is nice.
At the very least, this...

Maybe she got a clause in her contract now where she doesn't have to do them....you break into the industry and your standards apparently rise? Hence Lena Headley going from 300 to having that in her GOT contract, which particularly annoys a friend of mine for two reasons --- 1. Not accurate to the books. 2. He is all about her.
This is it. Win one game, and we are through. Focus on on that. Focus. Finish.
Portugal is a wounded animal. Put them out of their misery. Other than ending their suffering, no mercy.
Faster to the ball, faster on the break, faster to the hole. First four, first shot, first goal. Do your job.
Beat Portugal.
FIFA is mad at the Mexicans in Brazil, for a gar slur. Whenever the opposition has a goal kick, many Mexican fans shout "puta!" right after the kick. Puta means whore and is a general catch all Mexican insult. FIFA believes that cry is "puto," a harsh gay slur, equivalent to what the English call a cigarette.

Yeah, completely different. Honestly, the organization is so fucking corrupt they'll look for ANYTHING to change the subject from match fixing and kickbacks to their organization....
