    I was going to start Randy Wells, but I chose to pick up Brian Matusz against the Marlins, with equally bad results.

    At least Jimenez won't get the loss. Now let's get that win.
  3. italstallianion
    Did you start Jimenez as well?

    FML, I guess I've learned never to start SP against the Sox offense. F***.

    God damn it.

    I'm hoping for a 1-0 win....in extras.

    I think that everyone would have an All-Star team if there were only 8 teams. Also, Dipre might have trouble with this if we started shortly because he's having trouble connecting to Talksox.

    Germany is up 1-0 on Ghana, and Australia is up 2-0 on Serbia. As of now, Germany would play England and the US would play Ghana in the next round. It looks like we don't have to worry about Serbia anymore, but if Germany or Australia score again, then Australia may find itself in Ghana's place.

    Good thing the entire game hasn't been played in one day. If they played the first 4 sets today, they'd be dead by now.

    I'm not trying to say anything in jest. I am completely serious, and it's been shown multiple times by multiple people in the thread that my point is right. Look, I'm not trying to be arrogant. I have given full credit to the US team. They have played better, and they DESERVE to win the group. I'm just saying that it'd be ignorant and naive to ignore the obvious. I've made my point, and others have acknowledged it, so as far as I'm concerned, this conversation is over. So why not celebrate the fact that the US and England are moving on to the next round. Like Palodios said, everyone should be happy. Nobody should be insulting anyone.

    I agree completely. I also think we need to shore up the bullpen before we overpay for another part of the rotation.

    For the record, the Yankees have let a ton of potential drafts picks disappear by not offering Type A FA's arbitration. Who knows what will happen with Vasquez, but just because a player is a Type A/B Free Agent, does not mean that the draft picks are in the bank.

    I am not trying to take credit away from the US. I have said COUNTLESS TIMES, that the US was screwed in the Slovenia match, and in this match, and that the US deserves to go through. I have never implied, hinted, or even suggested otherwise. I am happy for the USA team as I am rooting for them as well as the English (and Italian) teams. My point is, which is mentioned in your first paragraph, is that whether intentional or not, the events that transpired in the England/USA match, England/Algeria match, and England/Slovenia match all worked in the US's favour. Whether the help is intentional or not is irrelevant. If England's actions worked in the favour of the US, then England helped the US. There's no room for debate or question. Thank you for mediating Yankees228. I did not understand why my point was not coming across. I am not trying to take credit away from everyone. The USA was the better team in the group play, and I wish them the best of luck in the next match.

    It's now the longest match in terms of number of games as well as duration.
  19. italstallianion
    I would love to respond to this by saying what I really think, but I'm on thin ice around here as it is, so I'm just going to ignore this and avoid a flame war. Your misguided cheap shots will not stand though.
  20. italstallianion
    I don't think that there's any consolation for whoever loses this one.
  21. italstallianion
    If England has to play Germany in the 2nd round instead of you guys thanks to points 1,2 and 3, I'd consider that helping. You guys should send England a fruit basket if you get to play Serbia or Ghana while we play Germany. I couldn't disagree more with your post, however I doubt that a full on argument will go anywhere. If it wasn't England that helped you, it was the Gods. The point is, it's naive and downright ignorant to not even acknowledge that in the end, you were helped. Granted, it was a makeup for when the US got screwed over a couple of times, but still, much went in the US's favour to counteract previous injustices.
  22. italstallianion
    If it wasn't obvious enough, which I'm surprised that it isn't, I'll provide a list. 1. By the goalkeeper giftwrapping the goal for you guys that gave you a draw instead of having you lose 1-0. 2. By drawing Algeria 0-0, that gave the US the advantage over us heading into this match, giving you the goal scored tiebreaker, whereby you could have gone onto the next round simply drawing 0-0 (if we drew Slovenia 0-0) 3. By beating Slovenia, and combining with point #1, that moves the US to the top of the group, instead of 2nd place.
  23. italstallianion
    Congratulations on advancing and winning the group. I think this is the third time that England helped you guys out though. Good luck in your next match.
  24. italstallianion
    Now THAT'S a demonstration of kharma. That should eliminate Slovenia, so the right two teams would advance.

    USA!!!!!!!
