FIFA World Cup 2014

Saw an article today, apparently anyone in America who watches football (soccer) isn't a real American and any increase in interest in football is a sign of the nation's moral decay (according to Ann Coulter).

You bunch of commie pinkos!
I just read that article, and like all of her other demented ravings, it's truly hilarious. That women truly is a insert any word beginning with C, but the fact that she's sold millions of books, and articles like that one are reprinted in dozens of newspapers is truly frightening (no matter what your politics are). I've read a couple of her books - they'd be funny if her views weren't so scary.

So far out there she's practically a parody of herself, I didn't think she was being serious when I started reading the article!
 
TBOT WC Prediction Game After 52 Games (or the first half of the last 16 before the second half of the last 16 get played, or whatever, work it out!)

Here we go guys just an interim table - we must be getting better at this as "The Collected Wisdom" has climbed the charts .... either that or I've buggered up the spreadsheet again, I'll check after the next lot to be sure, to be sure....

Usual reminder that some folk have missed rounds, just joined in recently etc. etc. but the USA is putting in a pretty strong challenge....you guys must be the people that nice Mrs Hilter warned us about in that article.....

^^He is sorta right - a scumbag who behaved like he did on the streets: unprovoked assaults, racist comments, cheating and conning people...assuming he survived, would be locked up.
Wonder what the esteemed captain's reaction would be if some little git came up to him in a match and sank his teeth into him?......

She says the most inflammatory things she can. It sells. Maybe she's feminine away from the camera who cares.
Not a real American & showing moral decay right--every child in the U.S. can play futbol & it's one of the few team sports that girls can participate in from a young age through college & in the Olympics. All of my American sisters played soccer coulter needs to keep her poison to herself. Back to the beautiful game.

It was worded to imply that Suarez was being treated worse than a criminal :p

Smart arse!

"nice Mrs. Hitler" perfect description!

I think we are, I'll speak for myself but none of my great-grandfathers were born in the US (actually none of my grandfathers were born in the US). They came from the football hotbed of Quebec, Canada. Most of what I know about footy, I picked up on TB threads.
