Tiny by ColeFitz on Comment 417 comments

Here is a thread for all of us that are going to watch the game live online. This thread is only for us streaming folks. If you watch it at 10 AM I encourage you to go to Dave's post.

Link to Live Stream

On an unrelated topic, if I was 16 and like 5' 2" and was worried about dating a girl shorter than I was. I'd totally be like, "Shawn Johnson, sup?"

Go Rudy! and uhh US too, I guess.

Questions:

The winer will find Argentina in his way to the final. Do you want to avoid Argentina?.
The winer will earn a lot of confidence. Good or bad?.
Who should give some rest to some players this game?
Do you test systems or hide them?
I´m ready to lose.
