Lunch with Liberty

Good to see you, old friend. Miss us? That trench warfare sure was fun, right? And where's that thank you for us hooking you up with our boy Hoff? Thanks for the Scorpions, they are most righteous rockers. Maybe by the time today's game is over you can explain what the fuck this new movement is?

USA vs. Germany. Noon. Too many scenarios to explain in terms of result and advancement, so maybe this chart will assist you:
You know the drill by now...

Optimus Prime knows what's up

Even completely outdated MTV bits can get in on the fun

Not at all soccer related, but excellent work Minnesota State Fair. VERY 'murica

Gametime apparel
Patriotism
So, Mark (and now all of Twitter) informs me that the conditions for today's game might be a bit messy...

    Fucking Magic. They can't even wait until noon on Draft Day to piss me off.

    Rob- I think Harpring is a decent comp. He couldn't shoot nearly as well as McDermott though.

    1. I'm wearing my KD USA Basketball t-shirt to celebrate soccer & draft day

    2. We have the better national anthem, for sure

    3. I have to blog the NBA Draft for my class tonight--so I'll be doing double duty on GTB and class blog during the draft

    I read something similar, TJ. It makes me feel somewhat better. I thought they could get more for Afflalo but I guess not. It feels like a setup for another move now.

    I've said ill trust Rob Hennigan until proven otherwise so I will hold to that.

    Well, we didn't bust through a plate glass window to get into the Round of 16, but we're there. That's the important thing.
