2-0 Brazil. Could have been worse for Mexico if not for Ochoa. Make that 7 straight round of 16 exits now.

1-0 Brazil. Mexico missed a wide open Lozano on a scoring chance and Brazil made them pay for it on the other end. But the Mexicans have been competitive so far.

Re: Wimbledon Thread

Looks like Uniqlo will be paying Fed $30 mil/year for the next 10 years during this deal. They're going to get a ton of exposure, assuming his participation at the Tokyo Olympics 2 years from now. The RF logo is staying with Nike at least for the time being tho.

Re: Dan Gilbert with another letter to LeBron

Bron did kinda bend Gilbert over the last four years. Got his boys JR Smiff and Thompson paid, leaves town with teflon status since he delivered that one ring, and now Gilbert is stuck with those contracts and a declining franchise value.

Re: 2018 World Cup Thread + Predictions Game

Not the prettiest game after the first 5 minutes, but tense extra time and finish. No surprise Denmark was going to be tough to score on. They kept France in check in the only 0-0 game of this tournament. Kind of relieved Croatia pulled through so that side of the bracket doesn't become any more of ...

Re: 2018 World Cup Thread + Predictions Game

Russia got the clutch saves when they needed it. Given how wide open that half of the bracket is now with Spain out, plus home advantage, they could end up parking the bus all the way to the final just like Greece at Euro 2004.

Re: 2018 World Cup Thread + Predictions Game

All that passing/possession for Spain and they only had a Russian own goal to show for it until Iniesta came on with a decent shot on goal. Ruskies just might sneak this out on PK’s.

Re: Rockets, Chris Paul agree to four-year, $160M maximum contract

Who knows how the Warriors series would have played out had he stayed healthy (and if Ariza didn't go Harrison Barnes in Game 7). But he just seems cursed when it comes to postseason injuries and he's about to enter his mid 30s.

Age 34: $35.7M
Age 35: $38.5M
Age 36: $41.4M
Age 37: $44.2M

Re: 2018 World Cup Thread + Predictions Game

Better hope Cavani can go otherwise they’re screwed. That head ref shouldn’t be allowed to work another match. Not one yellow given. Players basically had free reign. Both Uruguay and Portugal are known for physical play, so it’s funny how the only yellow went to Ronaldo for arguing with the ref at...

Re: The Last two players on the Live cover won MVP

I think the last decent Live game I bought was 06. Bought a couple more installments after that before switching over to 2K and haven’t looked back since. I’m surprised EA is still trying to compete with 2K in the sim market, instead of releasing a new NBA Street game.

Re: 2018 World Cup Thread + Predictions Game

Messi and Ronaldo both officially out in likely their last World Cup. Uruguay’s got a murderers’ row path to the final but they’ve got the strikers and tough defense to win it. Quarterfinal against France should be interesting.
