Hopefully there won't have to be any tie breakers for the tie breakers.
Damn regulatory body. Rejecting our handball appeal.
Well, I'll give it boot in 40 min.
I can kick these right through the posts. My resume: Soccer style kicker graduated from Collier High June 1976, Stetson University honors graduate class of 1980, holds 2 NCAA Division One records, one for most points in a season, one for distance, former nickname "The Mule," the first and only pro-athlete ever to come out of Collier County and one hell of a model American.
Okay, is it time??
It would appear that it is.
Leg already tired......
Damn white orb.....
Last shot, be a good one....
Fini....
I'm so nervous...
This is just like a game when I was 8.
A playoff game went to PK's
I got the last shot
I won that game too.
Gotta love an Ace Ventura quote!
Great, I go up against a ringer.
First kick from the spot. . .
Upper left corner for a 7!!!!
Next shot. . .
F me in the armpit. Hit the crossbar on the second shot.
Total a 7. I'll be watching from afar.
New rules, rbnlaw! You made three goals and you have two more kicks!
*watches on a bar TV back home in Trinidad*
*sigh*
maybe one day T&T will score a point
Dusty - You really at the Capitol in DC? What do you do?
Oh yeah, shot 1.
Dusty scores 3, and is immediately tackled by Secret Service.
Grading papers... college students frequently confuse "defiantly" with "definitely"
Also, I'm a big fan of paragraphs that take up the whole page...
It's odd how many people are scoring 3 out of 5 (60%) since EK read we'd have a 75% success rate.
Made 2. Missed 2.
For a chance at the lightning round with Dusty... shot ...
Are you f ricking kidding... 3 straight above 75?
Congrats Dusty...
Freakin' rules. You expect me to read them?
Shot 4.
0 for 4.
Shot 5: Beckham lines it up. . .
1 for 5. Ain't gonna be no shutout.
Ha.
Wow, spotted rbnlaw to a nice lead while eating lunch...let's give this a whack.
Sorry EK, I'm all discombobulated by the PK phase.
Looks like I went 4 for 5.
England rejoices. If only they had done that vs. Portugal about 4 years ago.
So my opponent nailed all five and I missed my first one. Guess the rest of these are moot!
Like my old surfing buddy Bodhi used to say before he went to surf Australia and never came back, 100% pure adrenaline!
This is exciting stuff.
#4...
#5...
shot 1 left
shot 2 upper right
shot 3 low right
shot 4 upper right
shot 5 upper left
Perfect score. Looks like we need a tie-breaker in group A for the second seed.
Donb't know if this is too late, too early. Beats the hell outta me.
Do it continue?? Stop??
Sudden Death!
I need this one...
So, now what??
We keep commenting until one person makes it and another misses
And I just did...damn
Well, if I'm keeping score correctly, I only made 3 to my opponent's 4 (I thought earlier he made all 5 but looks as if one shanked).
Well, let me know how I'm doing then.
I can just keep going..........
TD looks like you won the #2 seed on the 3rd sudden death PK. Well done.
Yeah, TD, you won. Good job...the upstart 4 seed goes home to cheers for lasting this long...and flies Delta, of course.
Is that luck or what???
With this game, I don't think it's anything but luck. But maybe I'm just bitter because I didn't make it out of group play!
I'm curious to see what the Sons have planned for the Elite 8!
(I don't know what they're referred to in the World Cup, so I'll stick with what I know.)
Sorry folks swamped at work, will read comments and update as soon as I get chance...
@ Scott: Yes, one shot clanked. I attribute this shot to Ashley Cole and the bad mojo he carries since making a bad fashion decision. Blue is not the color.
Sorry DB, it's all I have.
How did I do?
Hurry so I can head to the back bar at the Mayflower for a cocktail.
Steve-
Capitol yesterday, WH today. I am a Dir of Govt Relations in LA County public health agency. So am in DC a lot to meet with elected officials, twist their arm, then go heckle Nationals fans.
Ok, posted results. Does they jive with your tabulations?
Well, does they?
Dusty - nice gig... I am working on a manuscript detailing government involvement with college football and listened to the House Subcommittee markup of HR 390 yesterday (I'm sort of a geek)... So while you were in Rayburn, I was listening to something happening in Rayburn.
Anyway... good luck in the Elite 8.
I don't understand what happened in Group A. Why was there sudden death when Jason went 5/5?
fanerman, Jason advances automatically with his 5/5. The sudden death was because there was still a tie for the 2nd seed.
Ah, thanks.
You have rookie upstart Steve Dittmore as going through when DB beat him 3-2.
Sorry, Prof. Dittmore. It was a good run.
rbnlaw - I figured if UEFA can have some match fixing scandals, the Sons can too!
Carry the Deltalina flag proudly...
Thanks rbn, corrected. Sorry Prof -
Stevie D-
I understand that, despite my English ancestry, I was able to win passage to the next round on PKs. I only regret that it was against such a worthy opponent and trusted SoSG colleague.
Perhaps we can team up and I can do some lobbying to have some language on pitiful SEC officiating inserted into the bill on college football to which you refer.
are we supposed to be doing anything on this today? flying home but need to know if i need to changed my flight so i can make PK comments as needed.
