Ahahahaha klinsmann 'One minute .. why the f*** is it one minute'

yeah that would have been a great goal! Last touch just too close to the keeper. 3 mins left...

ohhhh what a chance yanks really in the ascendency

Belgium got another one, now Green has come off the bench for USA and scored a nice volley - 2-1 - game on! Switch on your telly, this is going to be a great finish.. EDIT: You're right about Howard, he is world class but he can't keep the goals out on his own...

USA-Belgium ... Belgium have just taken the lead in the first period of extra time, USA have about 25 mins to get the game back but look a little devoid of ideas at the moment..

Happy Canada day! I have great memories of a year studying abroad in Montreal in 2001, absolutely loved my time in the great white north (and met my other half there!)

Lol ... reminds me of a similar joke in a Simpsons episode

Cabernet Sauvignon from the Southern Flinders Ranges. A bit young but very enjoyable nevertheless!

Woke up this morning with a strange combination of deep pride and bitter disappointment.. we were never supposed to achieve anything in this WC and have punched above our weight, but at the same time we had a genuine opportunity to win that game and blew it. Such is football, such is life...

You must be absolutely fizzing!! Are the celebrations still ongoing?

Racked my grenache/shiraz, it's smelling excellent... tasting pretty good too but obviously needs more time. Will keep bulk aging and bottle in 2-3 months.

Mexico are always underrated but it looks like they have the potential to go a long way, holding Brazil to a draw on their own soil is a big statement. Maybe it was just that it was the first game but USA looked like a shadow of the side that was at the last WC, leaving Landon Donovan out...

We went down fighting to Chile, 3-1 loss but we were right in it until a late Chilean goal. Good signs from a young team. Just watched Italy beat England 2-1. Brilliant game, two contrasting styles of football but plenty of nice moments for both sides. Performance of the tournament so far was...

Patty Mills, from Thursday Island to the NBA finals http://www.smh.com.au/sport/basketball/documentary-to-raise-awareness-of-nba-star-patrick-mills-indigenous-heritage-20140612-zs56k.html

:try Who's watching? Brazil-Croatia 3-1 ... it was a pretty ordinary game to kick the tournament off ... Brazil with a very un-Brazilian performance and Croatia getting the rough end of the referee's whistle. Australia open their campaign against Chile early tomorrow morning (Aus time), so...

I haven't drunk enough 'old world' wines to do this justice but from what I've tried I enjoy southern Rhone red blends, Mosel riesling, Rioja tempranillo, and some good Italian reds ... incuding nero d'avola from Sicily, nebbiolo from Piemonte (but can't afford Barolo!) and Tuscan sangiovese...

I'm guessing their ability to spin marketing bulls*** is probably better than their wine.

Yep, fully agree.

Calamity Cellars - I agree with you that labelling some winemaking techniques/practices as 'unnatural' is a problem.. in reality I don't think you can draw a clear division between natural and man-made, because all wine is the product of the interrelation of natural & cultural processes. For...

With all due respect, I think you are underselling young people. If the necessity arose, I think young people would do what they had to do. Going to war is also a bit less romantic these days than it once may have seemed.
