What’s the point in leading?

Down 6-1 and we can't score for anything.

Man, Caleb is something else.

6-6

Here’s the game.

Damn those corrupt Spanish thieves.

A group right up my alley 🙂

Is that 90s teen sensation still around?

I first heard this album back in middle school, but I haven't touched this genre in about 16 years..
But honestly? It’s easily the best metal album from the entire 80s. A total masterpiece...

Season two—which happens to be the final season—is a massive step up from the first.
Finally, everything starts making sense after the show spiraled into complete madness.
The core conflict is finally clear: it’s a showdown between the "Champion of light" (Hawkins) and the "Champion of darkness" (Crowe). It turns out their fathers (Scudder and Management) were the previous champions, just on opposite sides of the struggle.
Now, the stakes are set. Hawkins has to take down Management despite their history, while Crow needs to eliminate Scudder to unlock his full potential. Eventually, they'll have to face off to the death.
Even those weird visions where Hawkins dreams of his father being hunted by a Russ soldier during WW2 finally click. That Russ figure is actually "Management," acting as the Champion of light trying to take down Scudder, the Champion of darkness...

As for the blonde... she’s definitely had some work done.

Galactica rocks. 😉 👍

Why conflicted?

rapidbison42 betrayed House Stark, while Gaius Baltar betrayed all twelve colonies.
The difference? One did it on purpose; the other didn't realize what he was doing.

As for Galactica... I'm just finishing season 2.5.
I have my doubts about whether the rest holds up. 😠 😠

I'm only here for the eye candy.
Look, any movie starring Kate Beckinsale is bound to be decent.

As for the crowd treating these movies like they’re cinematic masterpieces needing intense scrutiny from high-brow critics? I won't even dignify that with a response.

It’s clearly the same group that probably thinks Rambo III deserves a serious critical analysis.

Any movie starring Kate Beckinsale is a win... regardless of what these clueless forum critics think they know.

20th minute, 11:10 for Dance.👍

Yep..
Gold for the Danes!!!!

You know what? This is a textbook failure of coaching and strategy. Cervar has been forcing this exact same playbook throughout the entire EP.
The French coach saw right through him; he had him figured out today.

This isn't a loss for the players; it's a loss for Lin Cervar, the tactician.

Exactly.
Cervar’s little gimmicks weren't working. The only reason we stayed in it was pure individual talent.
Lino centered the whole game around his own ego.
Maybe he thought he'd grab the gold and then brag in the papers about how he "reinvented" the sport.

Unbelievable. He actually managed to score two goals, too.

Smith's main job is focusing on defense and covering the left wing.

James Vaughn3 said:I don't think he even made the training camp for Athens, let alone showed up for the tournament in Canada.

Valčić actually played in the European Championship in Canada.

James Vaughn3 said:I think Kaleb mentioned back when he was in Canada or Tunisia that people were texting his phone, but he just didn't reply.

Well, you can't have a player like that. He would have just poisoned the chemistry we’ve built in this national team.

The tension is really between Ćervar and Valčić. It started getting heated leading up to Athens when Valčić was seeing Peharec for therapy, and Ćervar claimed he was just faking it.
Now, we're looking at a fallout between Zrnić-Ćervar.

Let’s be real... we owe this success (making the semifinals) to individual talent. Ćervar’s tactical system has completely fallen apart.
We need a coach who builds a system around the players, rather than sacrificing the players to fit his own ideas... which is exactly what Ćervar did.

Does anyone know what kind of shape Dragan Jerković is in lately?

So, he's the same guy who ignored the call? Is he really unable to even acknowledge his own fellow Americans or the players at clubs across the globe?

That’s just not accurate.
Send an email to Johnson if you want him to confirm.
