    There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

        I agree wigb Alexi Lalas: best half of soccer for the US men's team in world cup group play in the modern era. Couldnt have gone much better. Hopefully the Pulisic sub at half was precautionary and there is nothing else there.

        Also I was not aware that VAR can review and reverse yellow cards and reassign them to the player who dove if there was no contact. That is a great addition and will help get more diving out of the game if they use it.

                "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

I had a chance to also buy in the knockout rounds but I decided not to lay the prices currently available without a US match guarantee.

                    I'm super excited. I was expecting to overpay on the secondary market for a US match ticket if I was able to go to one at all so this was a pleasant surprise. Supposedly there will be more lotteries and they are releasing more tix at every price level with each lottery. So being I haven't been selected yet I will keep entering and if selected for a later lottery I may get a couple knockout round matches on one of the possible US paths and then if they crash out or go on another path I would still see hopefully get some good matches.
                    I ended up selling my LA tix but my brother and I are meeting up in Seattle for the US/Australia game in a week. Still very excited.

                            The second half of the Japan/Netherlands game yesterday was incredible.

                                        The stories about visitors from other countries having experiences in the Us are the best past of this World Cup.

                                        Scottish people drinking Boston bars dry

                                                My favorite one so far may be the Japanese guy's treatise on the social significance of bottomless chips and salsa in America.
