PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

if ball on ground you kick it and run after ball, otherwise you just run at ball or go where you hope ball will go so you can kick it and run after it, if ball in air you hit it with head or with butt or with elbow and then run after it, if player from other team bump you you fall on ground acting very hurt violated, if you are guard of net you hop around net and stop the ball from reaching the net, everyone make noise so nobody understand nobody, if ball make a point the net it scream and is starting all over with ball getting kick

Also, if you decide to bite another player, also fall down and writhe as if it was somehow his fault.

Put simply, score more goals and you win. Score an equal number of goals and you tie.If it is not a tournament/elimination game (like a regular season game) then a tie is possible. If it is (like the playoffs) then teams play until there is a winner. Typically, in "regular season" or "group round" games like the ones that are going on now, teams earn points for wins or ties - 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw, none for a loss. In a "knockout" game, analogous to a single-elimination playoff, if a team is tied after regulation, they play an overtime, which, right now, is 30 minutes, no sudden death. If it's tied after that, they go to penalty kicks, like a shootout. (My analogies work better if you know a little about hockey.) Whoever scores the most wins. Also, Americans are crazy about soccer for one month every 48 and barely know it exists the other 47.

At least Obama is looking at a different field of battle than GWB did in his days.

People usually unstrap their seatbelts once the plane is fully in the air. Don't you?

Sorry, but I can explain soccer exactly and only the way I can explain ice hockey, meaning I can't. Fun to watch, fast, not a lot of scoring. Water polo, on the other hand...

Let me put it this way:
If you are asked whether you would prefer to study the line rules in ice hockey or quantum mechanics, choose quantum mechanics.

I'm sorry. It's just that during this part of the calendar, every time I see someone drop to the grass while clutching at their body in obvious agony, I kind of automatically assume they're lying...

34. "The USA/Belgium Experience." |
So there's this guy whom all your friends seem to like. They're very passionate about him. They sort of pass him around. Every so often, they all go after him as a group. And you... just never saw the appeal. I mean, they keep saying how appealing and interesting and exciting he is just to be around, but none of that is registering with you. You've seen him with them and while they're clearly attracted, you could never figure out why.However, they're your friends. You respect their collective opinion. And so, after a lot of stalling, you finally decide to give him a chance. The date doesn't go all that well. In fact, he's kind of boring. Sure, he's sort of got a nice body, but intellectually, he talks a lot without ever reaching any points or conclusions, just moving the same facts around the vague core of the idea over and over again. It gets to the point where you sneak off in the middle of dinner and call your friends from the bathroom to ask if you're out with the right guy. And they tell you this is normal, but just wait until you get him into bed! ...all right. So maybe he's one of those guys who only comes alive in personality (and everything else) when he contacts sheets. And they're still your friends, and you trust them, so... ...actually, you're not even sure how you made it this far, but here you are in the bedroom with him. You make yourself comfortable, strike a pose. Look him over. He does have a nice body, for the very little that's currently worth. You have a very good view of it because he's standing about three feet away from the bed. And then he starts chanting to himself. "We're going to have sex, we're going to have sex, we're going to have sex." ...all right. Some people need to psyche themselves up a little before they start. You can wait this out for a few seconds. The chant goes on for forty-five minutes. You adjust your position a few times, but he doesn't notice. He never really looks at you at all. You watch as he dances around the edge of the bed while never quite approaching you at any point. The chant never stops. At times, it becomes slightly lulling and you almost fall asleep, but then he randomly changes volume and jolts you awake again. You start to wonder if it's you. Maybe this is a really subtle way for him to say you're not even remotely his type. Thoughts of leaving occur. Repeatedly. Except that he's sort of dancing around on your clothes. At that forty-five minute mark, he parks himself on your jacket and leans against the wall, panting a bit. You sneak off to the bathroom again and start dialing. Yes, he does this, your friends tell you. Isn't it exciting? He's just taking a break now, but he'll get going really soon now, we promise! And Just wait until he makes his move! Working mostly on a sense of morbid fascination plus a vague feeling that you're being pranked, you return to the bed. The chant resumes. This time, you do fall asleep. A few times. But he keeps changing decibel levels. And dancing around. Every so often, he falls to the ground and twitches for no reason, which means he's sweating on your jacket and it will never, ever be clean again. At the ninety-minute mark, he stops again. This time, you make the call directly from the bed and are thus informed that when he goes on for this long without doing anything, the final result will be the single most exciting thing you've ever experienced. After a quick check with the Guinness people and the sad discovery that what you are experiencing (or in this case, not) does not qualify for any record category, you begin to drift off again to a constant background lull of "We're going to have sex, we're going to have sex, we're going to have sex." And then he shouts. "YEAH!" You sit up a little. "What happened?" "We just had sex!" he announces from about eleven feet away, already on his way out the door. "Wasn't it great?" ... Two weeks later, after having gotten out of jail when the assault charges were ultimately dismissed by a laughing judge, you begin to remotely consider the tiny possibility of someday speaking to your friends again. And when you finally do so in early autumn, they stare at you in total confusion before informing you that they all loved it. So in their group opinion, clearly there's something wrong with you.

37. "RE: About the Brazil vs. Germany match" |
This was two of the top three sides in the world playing, Brazil taught the world just how beautiful the beautiful game can be, players like Falcao, Socrates, Pele, Zico, Ronaldo and so many more are revered as demigods. Brazil had not lost a competitive match in Brazil for 39 years or any match for 12 years these boys are seriously good.Basically this doesn't happen, in the group stages rubbish team from Asia or Concacaf might lose by five goals, but these days even that is unusual. This is like a Superbowl ending 70-3 sure it could happen, but it never will. Before last night I would not even have been able to conceive the idea that Brazil would lose by more than a couple of goals. In 1950 Brazil lost 2-1 to Uruguay in the final of the world cup, every member of that team that played are vilified by Brazilians to this day, if you want to know more look up Maracanazo. I've only been to one North American sporting event and was very surprised by the lack of atmosphere, so I will leave with a quote from the great Bill Shankly 'Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.'

... wins on penalty shootouts after a scoreless game and overtime. The Dutch were toast after going 1-2 on their first three shots at goal.

46. "RE: Poor Brazil" |
Sadly this may be the only time anyone cares about the third place game. Ask the Dutch in five years time and they will only be able to say they reached the semi finals. Ask the Brazilians though and I suspect they will still be angry about the 7-1 and will follow it up with, and then humiliated by Netherlands in the next game

53. "Goal!" |
Schürrle, on the wing, whips a cross and finds Götze between two defenders in the box. Götze chests it down and volleys it in. A classic goal and one that will be long remembered barring a late surprise here.
