      Indeed - I'd suspect Brazil being bribed to throw the match, but Corrupt World Cup is scheduled for 2022 so it can't be that.

        Probably. If you don't have BACON, then a SPAM would do. ;)

            They way I heard it was their two best players were out, but I assume these to be strikers, which begs the question, why was the defence so crap? Shame it wasn't 10-0, that would have been laughable. Anyway, a Dutch/German final?

            They missed their two stars indeed, but it's not an excuse for a 7:1 throw. Neymar as offensive Player to coordinate and Silva missing in defense is critical but even with those 2 i predict a win for Germany 2: 0 or 3: 0

            if(this.signature != "") { MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature); } else { MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found"); }

              It's no surprise that Brazil lost last night. There was all but no attack, the midfield failed completely to retain the ball and David Luiz's defence was on a par with Rolf Harris.

                Not really. Generally, small deceits are believed less readily than big deceits. A 2-0 result would have been more under suspicion than a 7-1 result.

                      Two things: 1) We have BACON. It and Coffee are the two essentials of life. 2) SPAM is not now, and never has been, a BACON substitute. In the same way that pigs trotters are not a Beef Wellington substitute.

                                      Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

                                        Watching the news I saw many people crying, really? it's a friggin kids game, get over it. What do they do when something truly bad happens?

                                          You might need some international culture courses.

                                          I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Entropy isn't what it used to.
