FIFA Club World Cup now.

The first semifinal is done, Brazil's Corinthians won against Egypt's Al Ahly in a very un-entertaining match, by 1-0.

I don't know if it's the weight of being there and not doing what Internacional did two years earlier (losing their first match when they thought they were much better), but the players seemed heavy, even fearful.
You gotta bear in mind that for us this is the highest a club can reach, while the Europeans don't seem to care that much.

Still it's nice to see teams so different playing.

Chelsea and Monterrey (MEX) tomorrow, the winner will play Corinthians at the final, on Sunday.

I'm enjoying it so far.

Quote from Boris Lozac :

He's fantastic but i just find no joy in watching him, so charactherless, emotionless.. He's like a machine, maybe i will hate myself in some years by thinking like that but it's the truth.. I find much more joy in watching players like Ibrahimovic, CR, Ozil, Neymar, Ronaldinho etc..

That's true, but I find myself cheering everytime he's running and the other players are pulling and pushing him, trying to bring him to ground, and he just keeps going on like a tank.

While the other players you cited (notably CR and Neymar) would just dive at the slightest contact (which is annoying because Neymar's best happens when he keeps going).

Just my thoughts, of course.

So he did it, afterall. That's 86 goals in 65 matches, pretty insane stuff. I won't even dig up how many assists he did, I bet that would be insane as well.

Easily the best football player I've seen in my life.

Cool stuff, grats Tristan.

See you guys next season! Are we there yet?

About The Cabin in the Woods: w.t.f.


Loved it.

E: and agreed with shotglass.

Yup, Paypal seems about right.

Tough season for me, trying to get a top driver early on didn't work and I spent half the season below 20th.

Managed to climb a bit but still it was quite poor. Very surprised to see Hyperactive down there with me. :P Grats to the winner!

Ps: they really need to find a way for smaller subleagues to compete equally with the bigger ones. We will never have new caps otherwise.

There's still time to place bets and make changes, but hurry up!

Big chance of rain in the weekend, hope this happens and shake things up a bit!

Hahah, I always bet on Kart. Been right 2 times already this year.

I'm enjoying 8 a lot, to be honest.

It's faster, it understands my AMD Bulldozer, and Metro - once you actually take the time to understand it and customize it to your needs - works better than the start menu will ever work.

Thanks! Although I'm not sure how to expend my money now. I'll probably keep the Red Bull/McLaren combo.

News press will be busy after today's matches of the English league...

Specially the two matches with blue and red teams.

Damn, I thought it was Hugh Grant...

+1 for Looper, thanks guys.

OMG Liverpool won!

They were pretty awful defensively but Suarez was incredible. Hopefully this will cheer them up for the next games.

Awesome!

Sounds like you did good so far.

Yup, what we saw today was quite good. For once Liverpool tried to play with the ball on the ground, and actually succeeded at that. Here's hope they'll improve on this for the season.

They weren't.

Skrtel, on the other hand...

Great olympics! Loved every minute of it!


Now to get worried for the next four years...

Wow, our football boys could really learn a thing or two from our volleyball girls.

Hey, we don't need teams to tank so we can win.

Oh wait.

That's awesome.

Heh, 40k is a dream for Brazilian first division games. In fact, I think it was close to that on the Copa Libertadores finals.

Damn, those matches are way too early for me!

Looks like it was a good watch, grats on the win.

Also, Félix Sánchez!

Shame about Isinbayeva though.
