But guess the actual score, that's much harder :)

No thanks.

I only do that when I am over-undering or betting (against) the spread.

Ah, okay. Makes sense

American based Waffle House is calling for a boycot on Belgian waffles in the run up to the game between the U.S. football team and Belgium. True blooded Americans should buy American waffles instead.

Funny, me and my girlfriend were wondering exactly what American waffles would look like, and I joked that they probably included bacon. So I googled it, and it seems I was right. The all American way, put lots of bacon on everything.

 

Not that I have anything against bacon. I love bacon on my pancakes. Hmmmmm.

 

And even funnier is that apparently the waffle known as the Belgian waffle in the U.S. is a North-American variety of what is known in Belgium as the Brussels waffle, and thus is not actually Belgian. So Waffle House is calling for a boycot on an American dish in favour of another American dish in order to spite Belgium? I think not, they just want to line their own pockets.

Never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence.

That's a clever way for them to generate more revenue and have some fun at the same time, play the patriot card

 

 

Personally I like both types of waffles but I am more use to traditional sweet Belgian waffles...not the savoury type

Looks like a broken ankle. Dear lord.

Let's hope it's not that serious.  That was a really nasty looking challenge.  I'm sure the French player wasn't trying to hurt him, but he got him studs first right on the ankle.  Ouch!

In general, I agree, but on the scoring play, in particular, he made a piss poor attempt at a clearance.

Actually the Nigerian defense as a whole has been porous all game. Some nice saves though.

I agree my adulation is for the goalkeeper only, I genuinely believe France deserves to win

He must have taken money to let that in.

 

Wow, what idiot kicked it out for a corner when it was going to be a throw
