    I will not stop. Can't remember when I started speaking in the plural for teams and countries but I did start doing it independent of sports/soccer and it makes more sense to me.

    Also don't slam your bratwurst in the door on the way out, Germany! Paraguay upsetting one of the tourney frontrunners obviously bodes very well for the US.

            France's path should be easier with Germany out of the way. But you never know with soccer...

                    Also if the WWII comparisons hold, France might not come out of the tunnel for their match tomorrow.

                        Craziest PK shootout ever. Down goes the Dutch.

                                And just like that, Europe starts the knockout stage 0-2. You love to see it.

                                    I wonder if all the Germanic people in Paraguay are conflicted.

                                        It's not their fault. They've been exposed to all the AC in North America and now they have thermal shock.

                                            Turns out climate control was the performance-enhancing technology all along.
