It's the less scientific but most entertaining part. ...Exactly what the universe, and mankind, is striving for.
Or is it? 🙂
Well , - I'm certainly not a soccer addict, but even I can see that Brasil is just not good enough.......
so "Rolling Robben" & co got the betterr of them.... 😉

Yup. Can't think of another sport that allows that level of drama. I am glad the MLS has a penalty for embellishment. If you try to embarrass the sport, you in turn are embarrassed. I hope the rest of the world embraces it. Football/Soccer would benefit greatly IMO.

Actually - the regulations most specifically rules against "filming", as it is called in norwegian, but the referees just are not toughening up to the rules....
Is the REAL universe not bigger and more beautiful than the silly games of a puny "sentient" virus marking time on the surface of a wet grain of sand?
IOW, assuming one's concept of the universe allows the existence of (far more) intelligent life forms whose skillsets might include observation of our behaviour, is there any doubt as to why they've kept their existence secret?
Sorry guys, just having a "moment"

We have in this thread links to the greatest physicists on the planet and they are worry that we try to communicate with intelligent races from outer space.
Because they fear that we would be completely annihilated. ...And they seem to be pretty well convinced of that.
What do you think?

More importantly, if you want to win a world championship, you need to start by inventing a sport that nobody else is likely to be interested in playing. Works for the Americans anyway - they seem to delight in proclaiming themselves to be the world champions in various obscure "sports" that nobody else can be bothered to play.
More civilised countries tend to be a bit more dignified about these things, though. You don't find South Africans bragging about being the undisputed world Jukskei champions, for example. Same with the Brits and their cheese-rolling, trouser ferrets etc.
Two American teams playing a uniquely American game, but they have to hire a couple of foreigners to throw the ball for them? Seriously? Can't you guys get anything right?
😱
...A monkey climbing down, at sunset. ...Cool thinking.

Some thing was wrong if Brazil is in the 4th position.
He deserve the 8th, behind of Belgium, France, Colombia and Chile.
Last night thank in Netherlander, this deserve in play the final match.
But with Argentina. Such beautiful football plays Holland.

They are technically fourth but err, psychohistorically, geopolitically and vindicato-emotionally last.
Let's hope this match will be like Bobby Fischer versus Spassky.
Yes..because we (the human race) think we are above reproach.
We have control of our own destiny and sometimes it's a bit like giving an ape the remote detonation button for a nuclear bomb. 😀

Was not good for the visual skills of the players but to strategic-tactical. Messi and Robeen were nulled at all, was a hard match.
I hope same strategic for tonight.

Look at the passion play, not from Jethro Tull of course.

The fact that soccer often has no-score matches leads to the aberration of penalty series. The Dutch actually have not lost any matches in this tournament (an undecided after extension, but before the penalty series, is marked as undecided).
So with some imagination you could say that the final ranking is decided with penalty series. Sort of. 😉
Anyway, if Argentina wins the Cup on Brazillian soil, that'll hurt even more....

More than a couple. That just happened to be the pitchers in this particular game. And there's 16 more players on the field (18, if it's American League).
Nor is this uniquely American, as anyone who has visited Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Japan, or Dominican Republic can observe. True, there's no drama wondering about Burkina Faso versus Belize, but that's a feature, not a bug.
Anyone who thinks of it as a "fun game" has never had a 95 mph fastball thrown at them, tried to hit a curve, nor had to dive for a screaming line drive. They've never had to watch managers' signal for batter-to-batter or pitch-to-pitch shifts. At the top levels, guys like Earl Weaver (back in the day) or Buck Showalter (today) succeeded through a cunning use of strategy, statistics, and discipline rather than just buying the most expensive players.
I love football (real football, not pansy Third World stuff) and can't think of any sport I'd rather watch, but baseball is a greater game.
