The Great Wallet Rape of 2104 has begun! Right off the bat I'm going to scoop up XCOM: Complete, seeing as it conveniently debuted on Linux today, which fits in with my own personal policy of only buying PC games that support Linux going forward.

Which hand do you want him to score with, his right or his left? Either or, I'm not picky.

Will the Troll Gods grace us with a Suarez goal against England later today? Edit: Wow, what a horrible shank by Gutierrez on a golden opportunity. You're not going to get scoring chances much better than that.

I wouldn't be shocked if Ivory Coast won, but I definitely expect Colombia to win.

I just assumed Colombia was the favorite. I could definitely have no idea what I'm talking about.

Scoreless doesn't necessarily have to be boring. For example, the Brazil/Mexico nil-nil draw was highly entertaining. Anyway, since I have no real favorite in this next game, I'll cheer for Ivory Coast since they're the underdogs.

As an aside, my favorite dive ever: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiesHBBOGQg It does not get any more shameful that this.

The best solution I can think of is to add a rule stating that any player that gets taken off the pitch, for whatever reason, cannot return on to the pitch for at least 5 minutes. Having to play a man down for 5 minutes might make teams think twice about pulling that kind of crap, and if a guy is legitimately hurt, he'll likely spend at least 5 minutes being tended to on the sidelines, if not exit the game entirely.

That would have been great even with some standard piped in music, but the beatboxing took it from great to glorious.

I wish the refs would do something about the insanely blatant time wasting when a team is up and trying to hold on to the lead. Like when a player goes down, lays on the ground in "agony" like had just been stabbed by Brutus, Cassius, Casca, and the other senators, they bring out the stretcher, carry him off the pitch, then, MIRACULOUSLY, he's back on the pitch 15 seconds later. That should be at least a yellow, shouldn't it? If it was up to me I'd red card the guy on the spot, because that's some seriously flagrant, despicable bull****.

It's pretty crazy that as bad as the Sawx have been this year, and they've been terrible, they're only 6 1/2 out as we near the halfway point. Really, everybody in the AL East is still in it, the only team that's in any real trouble is the Rays. Ironically, they were everybody and their grandmother's sexy pick to win the division. I haven't been following them, what happened? Are they riddled with injuries? Are they eating fried chicken and drinking beer in the locker room?* *As a Sawx fan, the fried chicken and beer joke will never get old. Remembering that fateful season where the Sawx had that EPIC collapse down the stretch and Terry Francona became the scapegoat as John Henry and Larry Lucchino threw him under the bus, drove over him, put it in reverse, backed up on top of him, put it in neutral, mashed the gas, then threw it in 1st and peeled out on top of his mangled body... only to drop the tranny and come to a stop a few feet down the road. Ah, memories.

Is it any coincidence that ze Germans have been on the winning end of so many of the most lopsided games? Proof positive that they're not partial to only slaughtering Jews. I'll see myself out.

You should have driven a Ford F150.

I guess. I figure if someone is going to pirate the PC version they're going to do it regardless, advantages or not.

Wow, Song just totally lost his mind. His World Cup is done.

@Meshugger - I'm more partial to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ytCEuuW2_A While I didn't expect Spain to be the juggernaut they were 6 years ago, or 4 years ago, or even 2 years ago, never, in my wildest imagination, did I see their fall from the top being this spectacular.

What a crazy fall for Spain. From winning the last 3 grand tourneys to getting eliminated in the group stage and potentially not even scoring a single point.

Wow, how did Busquets not put that in the back of the net? Spain can't afford to let chances like that slip by.

Wow, the Spaniards are is some real deep doodoo right now.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! YES! Chile 2-0!

Murderer!

1-0 Chile!

I agree, PC should look better than the PS4 so I am very excited Let's hope it's better optimized than the GTA4 PC port so that I don't have to get another 780Ti just to get it to a good framerate on medium settings.

Serie A

I'm usually in favor of the ref letting the players play rather than stopping play and rewarding the actor every single time they take a dive and roll around on the ground for 2 minutes like someone just shot them with a 12-gauge full of rock salt. That said, the refs let some fairly rough stuff go in this match.
