""I fucking hate you RJKarl" - Me, just now and muttered under my breath just about anytime I see a post from you
-I admit that I'm guilty of saying that and it is not very nice. I do not feel sorry and thus will not apologize because I really do fucking hate you. You're a miserable person. Everyone fucking hates you. You're either the greatest troll of all time or the biggest, most immature attention whore ever. I still can't tell."
This says infinitely more about you than it does about me.
It's sad someone so young can be filled with such hate for someone he doesn't know.
Just get a hobby instead.
Fucking millennials
At least when we posted on the Boards in college we were actually good!

2 more soccer questions from another guy who knows very little about soccer:
1) How are the 4 teams assigned to each of the 8 Groups determined? Hear a lot about us being in the Group of Death, so wondering if that is legit, or just American whining.
2) Anybody watch the lead story on HBO Real Sports last night about fixing soccer matches?
I wish they would base it more on ranking than geography, but I get it. Would be cool to see US vs. Mexico in the group stage.

So if CONCACAF teams continue to do well in this World Cup (and over the next few years), CONCACAF could get another "bid" in the 2018 World Cup for a team like Panama (a team based on current rank seems to be have been on the 2014 bubble)?
Goddamnit, spent some time Googling and this actually makes sense. I couldn't have told you that confederations exist, much less what their names were before today. Thanks all: this will make the rest of the World Cup more interesting for me.

for 1)
there are 4 pots of teams based on FIFA seeding
they have a live draw where they have those ping pong ball machines and they take out a ball from Pot One then take out a Group Letter Ball and pair them up and so on. You can't have more than 2 teams from the same confederation (essentially the continent they're from) in a group
Answer to the first question is here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_FIFA_World_Cup_seeding
Every group gets 1 seeded team then the rest is done geographically rather than by ranking which makes groups of death possible. It's luck really and we were unlucky this time. In 2010 we got the best draw imaginable.
Once they say that you can stop the clock then people will call for commercial TV breaks. I'm not even willing to get near being on that road.
So have the 4th official keep a stopwatch to calculate the stoppage time to a more exact number? That way, the game clock keeps running, but the 4th official keeps track of how much stoppage time there should be over the course of each half, then puts that up on his board down to the second.
I realize I'm mostly still bitter about the way the Portugal-US game ended, but the vagueness of extra time has always frustrated me
