He has missed five of his ten PKs. I’m sure he’s not too happy that CR showed him up. The Croatia Nigeria match was a bit droll although by that time I’d probably seen enough for the day.

I wonder how many they sold.

I definitely messed up his name!

Very but Schimichel was very good. Iceland did its thing. A disappointing tie for Argentina. Hopefully tomorrow is a better day for Latin trans.

It’s possible — and I’m speculating — that the Blue Note has BN’s permission. It’s also possible that the club doesn’t need BN’s permission because they’re involved in different classes of trade.

This I agree with. If you weren’t rooting for either team, you saw a sensational match, with a little of everything. Tomorrow is an early day in the States. France Australia starts at 5am. Not sure I will make that, though.

Not at all as this is the WC and I am for Spain although the people in Barcelona or Cataluña probably cheered the tie because they like it when the national team does poorly.

A disappointing tie. Pique cost them the match. Looks like both are positioned to pass through.

Yes, will do.

I have a feeling they were hoping to get a point without using him. I’d be surprised not to see him in their next match.

I haven’t been there in several years although it’s only 45 minutes away from me. Might be worth a trip to check it out.

The Egyptian defense was very disciplined and almost pulled off the tie. They are going to need to win their next two matches to go through. Playing Russia will be no easy task and the Russians will probably gamble for a tie since they have a very large goal differential.

I wonder if Verve will object.

I received this list from Penguin and thought it might be of interest. Around the World in 32 Books

Wonderful cd.

I think the missed exam one must be stress related.

I use to dream that I had missed exams. They were so vivid that when I woke up I wasn’t sure I hadn’t.

The Saudi defense is rather poor, to be charitable about it.

Belated wishes Kevin!

RM is not shy about making changes so if Lopetegui bombed, Perez would move fast. I don’t think that’s much of a factor.

For anyone thinking about it, the Quincy Jones is a very good Mosaic, with some great music.

See this thread,

Frankly, I don't see why the Spanish Federation got all upset. Did they have a right to be told? Not really. To me, it's a question of vanity on the part of the Federation. They have now put the team's chances at risk. Moreover, if you read the following story, their statements don't make sense. Spain Fires Coach

Spain have just fired their manager, because he was going to become Real's coach after the World Cup. The new manager is Fernando Hierro, a Real legend, whom I watched many times. A strange decision on the eve of the WC.
