Can the Swiss hold off Cameron and secure a spot in the knockout round? Will Ecuador add to their -15 goal differential?

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.
Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.
Fight them, without becoming them!
This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.
With all due respect and assumptions of good faith, please fuck off into the sun.
You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.
There is no right way to do the wrong thing.
The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.
Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.
If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.
We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.
“In the future, this lab will be a museum. do not touch it.”
You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.
They don’t have outfits that big. nor codpieces that small.
The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.
fuckem (in honor of the late great efgoldman)
That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.
The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.
Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.
Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.
Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.
I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.
Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.
Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

which cameron? i mean, it’s gotta be easy to kick, say, kirk cameron’s ass.

Not World Cup related but wanted to ask: did you see the Colombia Venezuela game on Sunday? I was very surprised how out of sorts the Colombian team looked. And Brazil played well but was close with Peru. Wonder how that Colombia Brazil game tomorrow will work.

@chopper: Prime Minister Cameron, right?

Ecuador has a -15 GD?
I know it’s the first go-around with the added teams, but: Is that a record? And if so, how long will it stand?

What a Cameroon!

@ThresherK:
No idea if it is a record, but if it is, it’s unlikely to survive the end of this round.
ThresherK
@SRW1: I was out hiking and just tuned in. Holding Japan to 0-1 would be a triumph for ECU.
Randinho
Cameroon is on the verge of qualifying. Cool.
Randinho
@ThresherK: If they don’t score they’ll leave the record at -16 as I write this.
Randinho
@Valdivia: Falcao may be Colombia’s biggest disappointment. He was also Manchester United’s worst transfer in recent memory.
SRW1
@Randinho:
And yet, the way it looks is that the next destination for Falcao is a loan stint at Chelsea.
SRW1
@ThresherK:
Yes, it would be.

My youngest has a close friend in Japan who stayed with us last summer. They took opposite sides in this Japan/Ecuador game and have been doing some major trash talking via Skype this afternoon. Lots of swearing and gloating over the intertubes just now.
Randinho
@SRW1: As an Arsenal fan, I’m thrilled.

It’s funny, when you posted the initial rankings, the only one I thought you undersold was Cameroon. Just had a feeling, I know nothing about the teams’ relative strength. Clearly I should’ve placed a bet…
grrljock
Yes, I switched matches just in time to watch Cameroon’s equalizer, and stayed to the end. Wow, that Onguene is quick and fast. Other Cameroonian players have nifty spin moves as well. They did a great job capitalizing on their quickness.
Randinho
@Jake Nelson: The problem was that Japan was the only one I had seen before. I ranked Switzerland slightly ahead because of their record in qualification.
