Thank youLaley23;1628965 wrote:At the end of the game like that, Bradley just needs to take a touch and kick it over the Portugal end line. No need to try and turn around with the ball like he did.

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.lhslep134;1628973 wrote:I hate this line of thinking. While you may be right in theory, the ​ACTUAL facts dictate a different emotion: blowing what was sure passage into the round of 16.

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.Ytowngirlinfla;1628959 wrote:It doesn't matter. I'm fuckin sick right now. I can't watch the game thursday which makes me even more pissed.

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.lhslep134;1628973 wrote:I hate this line of thinking.

Not sure what it means, he's been doing it for a while. Robinho does it too.

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