I expected it to be a bit bad, but of course not. It had to be worse.

Genuine question, I assume we're talking about really powerful laser pointers, not those you can buy in the supermarket, and - I assume - this guy had? Can any of those literally blind you?

If my mother's cat is anything to go by, a very big one.

I thought that could have been it, and I'm well aware of that but 84 had no quarters either. They were only created in 96. Then they hadn't gone past the quarters ever and not just since Platini.

Denmark won euro 92. Am I missing something here?

So, Argentina beat Colombia (pens) so the final will be Argentina vs Brazil five Copa Americas since the last one. It's still the most common final this century (this will be the third time).

Nice request, but doubt they'll be in here.

I've actually seen the Kaiser Chiefs live recently and still listen to them often enough. There are bands, the 15 years thing would apply. In my case this is definitely not one of them. I also feel they are still big enough in some circles. I don't like everything they ever did, and some albums are just boring to me as a whole. But I like some. I like this one, and the song as well. The Libertines could be a case for me. I liked their first album and then they quickly faded away from my playlists. At the time this one came out, I already didn't care much for them and I still don't. Modest Mouse is a band I don't think I'll ever try to check live again because I got bored to the point of changing shows during their set, which is something I don't do often. To be fair, I didn't like them much, but there were some songs I liked, and when you're in a festival, you just pick something. I'm not a huge fan of the song either. Green Day is one of those bands I loved when I was eleven, then got tired of them by the time I was 18, and started listening to them again n my 30s. I also prefer their older, simpler, stuff, but understand why the picked something from this album, knowing how successful it was with the younger (at the time ) generations. I like their pick. Don't love it, but I like it.

Is it just you, me or Baddar, at this point? Or is there anyone else with a shot depending on results?

Best thing (for my prediction scores) would be Kane scoring loads which would likely mean England in the final but then losing to Spain. Otherwise I don't see how I'd get all those points back. Who do you have winning and goalscorer? @Colly

Way too predictable.

It used to be as easy as having them play 2 minutes in a friendly vs San Marino when they're 16. Not anymore.

I don't know if you forgot or didn't mention him on purpose, but Seedorf in my opinion was better than most of those. Deserved a mention.

Did you update the Wikipedia page, yourself?

5th?

The new album has one. The original was in Ixnay on the Hombre.

I can't listen to it right now. Is this their new version of gone away?

Pre season starting XIs have him starting in defense around here. They seem to be in for Kounde but since Tottenham are also rumored, I'd say Varane isn't leaving unless Kounde signs and even then I wouldn't be so sure he'd leave.

I saw it. Didn't pick it up. I'm going to take your word for it and get it.

It comes from the obvious shift in style. If it had come after any of the following three it wouldn't have had the same impact. Oasis, definitely maybe, what's the story morning glory and be here now (regardless of how you may like one and not the other) are one thing. Standing on the shoulders of Giants is a "different band".

Bolivia is out after another loss, this time to Uruguay. Bolivia is leagues below everyone else in South America at the moment so they're out regardless of what happens in their last match against Argentina which they'll probably lose anyway. Brazil's group will be decided on Sunday. There's still stuff to play for there. The knockout stages will only start next Friday.

I guess it makes sense. A mystery manager should get a mystery signing.

That's true but some teams are just trying to get to the knockout stages and the last 2 to qualify in Brazil's group will only be decided in the last day! Brazil 2-1 Colombia allows Brazil to Remain undefeated. Both are through to the next round though. Ecuador were 2-0 at the half vs Peru and could have scored more but Peru came back! Final score 2-2. Ecuador who play Brazil in the last match need a point and may need to win to qualify! Peru vs Venezuela will decide who goes through. Peru will be in the knockout stages with a point, but even a loss would be enough as long as Ecuador doesn't beat Brazil. Venezuela could go through with a point if Ecuador loses to Brazil but they need to win in case Ecuador gets points there. Still, a pretty much qualified Peru is much easier opposition than a much stronger Brazil. I'd say at the moment, Ecuador are the most likely to go home early.

18 goals in the last day. Can't say I expected that.

So, now it's Portugal and Germany. EDIT: Nevermind!
