It's a rout indeed. Gonzo will be thrilled. Mueller is academy award material. Composed on a mobile phone.

I'd go with POR to win, USA to win, Iran to go nuclear.

I sympathize with your having to work your life schedule around the matches. These 5am games are horrible...can't decide whether to stay up or get up for that match. I'm thinking nap, wake at 11pm, nap, wake at 5am, sleep till 2pm.

Gonna be a long night tonight...good idea about getting business taken care of early. My monger friend says he's dying to go out now.

I think that title came from the video's page. It was actually a diatribe about FIFA. Still funny though. Composed on a mobile phone.

Let it stand. ..other sources credit KAJ with that movie. We are on Enter the Dragon Composed on a mobile phone.

Just a silly joke - but I will explain He said: "we'll see" - and you said "I fervently hope you're right" .If he is seeing it (as he sort of promised) then it IS up to you - if you also see it then you fervent hope has come true Obviously dark Scandinavian humor at work there.

Eh?

I fervently hope you're right. Composed on a mobile phone.

No chance. They are in a group with Ghana, Germany and Portugal. And IIRC, Ghana has knocked them out of the last two WCs. Composed on a mobile phone.

I just hope USA beats Ghana or they will end up dead last in their group.

I didn't see any Japanese Presidents there.

You mean like this, LOL? I must compliment him on his dramatic acting ability. http://youtu.be/w-gnobU3TIA

I voted for Brazil, but after seeing the Croats valiant opposition to them, I'm ready to change my vote. They didn't look that dominant at all.

Here we go. . This might have more legs than the gun control topic! Composed on a mobile phone.

I'm gratified that some of you stuck with it. I was worried a 14 minute piece might be too long. Composed on a mobile phone.

Haha. I wasn't the 1 vote for USA

In an attempt to subdue opposition to the coup, the military has been running a charm offensive alongside its repression. The BBC's Jonathan Head in Bangkok says ensuring the World Cup can be watched by everyone is central to this so-called happiness campaign. The RS broadcaster had already bought the rights to the matches and planned to allow only a third to be shown on free-to-air channels. To see all of them viewers would have to buy a decoder, at a cost beyond many poorer Thais. So the military has ordered the national broadcasting regulator to negotiate a deal for all the matches to be shown at no cost, despite the potentially hefty compensation claims. Our correspondent says the military seems willing to spend generously to win hearts and minds. It is already promising to subsidise farmers, to revive ambitious infrastructure spending plans and to cap the costs of basic foods. The initiatives are borrowed from the government that the junta overthrew after months protests often directed at those same policies.
