Thank you

Not saying emotion shouldn't be different based on how the game played out today, but looking at the big picture, we are still in a damn good spot.

I hate the game times this week. Why play at 1 and 4 in Brazil instead of 4 and 7?

Why are you sick to your stomach? I thought you wanted Klinnsman to fail miserably after he left Donovan off the roster.

His post game comments were lame. He could have at least man'd up and admitted he fucked up, but no.

Even though these guys are pros and you'd think there should be no carry over psychologically, they're also human, so there will be. The emotional letdown of being so close to a victory and then having a defensive breakdown like that will have an affect--how much of one we won't know until Thursday.

this. first he can't bury an opportunity to tie the game then he makes a bone headed play that leads to Portugal tying it.

Nani is a little bitch. Fuck him. He doesn't score for United anymore so who knows what it means.

No one watches soccer in America outside of the world cup, so this comment is pointless.

You got butthurt when Fellaini scored too. You're a United fan. We get it.

Just checked. Nani went on leave from ManU in the middle of Decemeber, 2013...So the kid is around 7 months old.
