There are some weird tactical choices in this world cup: Spain plays Chile, a team were all but the keeper are well bellow 6', yet insist on playing on the ground. Japan plays Greece and they insist on playing crosses high in the air that the tall greek defenders catch 99.9% of the time...

If you buy 4 hours can you 'upgrade' to 7 days for the price difference or you need to pay for the full 7 days?

It's not like Suarez had 15 opportunities during the match. The problem is that he does not need many to score.

Nothing has been fixed in english tennis on a systemic level. A scottish guy happened to have good dispositions for the sport, be the son of a tennis coach and then went to spain as a junior to try and fulfill his potential. That's an outsider. The system produces guys like James Ward or Daniel...

A very significant portion of the budget of 'normal' movies of the blockbuster is taken by digital special effects. A CGI movie is digital special effects from the first frame to the last. It takes a lot of artists and animators and a lot of time on render farms, which is also very costly.

Yeah! That's the spirit!

These CGI don't draw themselves! Looking at some other CGI movies, Rio 2: $100 million, Mr Peabody and Sherman: $145 million, Frozen: $150 million.

Edge of Tomorrow!

It really was not. Just for you I made some math: In 2012, 2013 and 2014 (so far), I have seen a total of 366 recently released movies. Obviously that implies all types of movies, with only minimal filtering. Prometheus is only one of 7 movies to which I gave the lowest grade in my scale...

The odds of seeing that mediocre Brazil lose to that terrible Cameroon to allow Croatia and Mexico to go through seem sadly slim.

Considering how mediocre Brazil has been I am not sure fighting like hell to avoid them is such a good idea. That said, Group B gets the shaft, because the third matches of Group A is played after theirs, so they are blindsided.

Akinfeev was just yesterday! Anyway I missed two games so far in the whole world cup and it had to be the Netherland vs Australia game

Korea need to stop this sterile lateral passing nonsense and use all the space they are given to penetrate. They have only been dangerous when there was movement.

Whaaaat? I was not dissing the Great Ochoa (who is currently looking for a club btw), I just found it funny that the putative champions can't score against the keeper of a lame french team. They certainly made him shine though!

You can't score against the great Ochoa! Keeper of the mighty AC Ajaccio that just got relegated to the french 2nd division after suffering 72 goals in 38 matches! More seriously, that first half was very entertaining.

'spell doom' indeed!

I've got 22 problems and a Dragon ain't one.

Even if all the top american athletes were playing soccer it would not be enough for the american national team to be very good. What you need is players that take part in a good championship or at the very least are in a team good enough to last in continental competitions. In this day and age...

Good fair-play by Jones: a shady player could have turned the ghanaian blowing a gasket into a red card, instead he tried to defuse the situation. I guess Ghana repaid the favor by somehow not scoring at the very end of stoppage time!

Bosnia should feel pretty good about their chances because Nigeria showed almost nothing and the iranian players have heart but their team is pretty limited.

They really failed to convey the wildling army was more than 20 guys doing a BBQ in the woods, the whole Bran thing was miserable and it feels the Tywin-Tyrion scene, while good, did not deliver as much as it could. I found it funny though that complexity is catching up with Danny. PS: I...

Question: is it me or the NBA champion was not called the world champion as it used to?

Leonard! The crowd asked for it and they got it!

Looking good. It's Spurs to lose now.

19 points is a good lead to have entering the fourth, but it would be foolish to think it's an unassailable lead. I am sure this match has still some drama in it.

What is going on? What is going on? There is still a quarter and a half!

That's called good defense!

The building is exploding and we are mid way through the 2nd quarter! I hope Djay will do some on site posting at the half.

Considering the glacial start, down 7 is not that bad.

Ginobili waking up the team with some gritty plays!

Strange start!

We'll see how Nigeria and Iran will play, but I thought Bosnia showed some good stuff and the Argentina of the 2nd half had its moments. Good attitude displayed by Messi that was still sprinting after loose balls after 90 minutes. And again 3 goals! I wonder if it has an impact on the teams...

Bosnia deserves something out of this match. Let's hope they score in the 2nd half or at least that Argentina play better. And France did a good job. A confidence boosting match against a tricky opponent.

Palacios forgot he already had a yellow for a moment and also forgot you can get away with a gentle push in the back but not with a hockey shoulder charge!

It's often like that. The small team fights and fights and loses in a disheartening way at the very end. 15 or 20 years ago, Switzerland was that small team that had more than its fair share of frustrating losses. But they reached another dimension in the past decade, so now they are the ones...

The swiss team seems paralyzed by tension and kindly offered a goal to Ecuador by losing the ball, committing an unneeded foul to give a good free-kick and then collectively hope the other guy will contest the header... There were a couple decent actions, but lost in a sea of missed passes...

28 goals in 8 matches helps! PS: Strangely, not a single draw!

It looks a bit lame, but at the same time the idea is funny and it got me laughing by the end of the trailer.

Implying that bad things will happen sounds like book spoiler to me! The contrary would be surprising though.

About Rooney: Good thing he was not the one that delivered the brilliant cross that lead to the goal then! I am not sure what is worse: english media or english 'fans'.
