  1. Brazil without Neymar and Thiago Silva stupidly deleting himself from the match will have it difficult to beat Germany. It's not like they have been that superior to afford not having 2 of its key players.

    About the Holland match, that last change and the self confidence of Krull were the best thing of the match. Holland deserved it just for the fact that Costa Rica only went for the penalties trusting Keylor Navas under the goalie. I would have liked to see one of the small teams in the semis but Holland deserved the victory.

    I tell you, the goalkeepers of this WC are the real stars.

  2. No one is forcing you to work in there if you don't like the company, or their principles. When you accept a job, you accept certain conditions, worse or better, and provided they meet the law (as this one meets according to the Supreme Court), it's up to you to take it or not.

    If I am vegetarian and I am against killing animals for consumption, maybe a chicken farm or a slaughterhouse is not my place, but I can't pretend them to plant lettuces instead to fulfill my principles and the working conditions I want.

    It's called capitalism. And it's called freedom. Both parts freedom.

  3. I am of the opinion that penalties are unfair. But I am also of the opinion that a match lasts 90 mins and if you've not been able of beating the rival in that time, you are not much superior. And if they beat you in penalties too, then it's not that unfair.

    That if it's not your team of course. Penalties are a torture if it's your team.

  4. Blink 182 was better than people think. The album of the same name was great and they've always been a fun band to lsiten to.

    Better than utter shite however still isn't saying much.

    Technically, "amazing" is better than utter shite too. But ok, thanks for the input.

  5. I think it's great that a bunch of old white men get to make such important decisions, they are really in touch with the world.

    I also really like how corporations are valued as 'people' above actual... y'know? Human beings.

    You mean people who studied and know better than the majority the legal system and laws behind it, that excelled in their studies and their career and therefore ended up being eligible for such a important position, that have lived relatively long lives which allows them to be more experienced and have gone through plenty of cases before?

    Yeah... probably they know nothing about the world. The remark about being white is as necessary as the one about being old. Everybody knows old white people are all evil and with no feelings. I say let 20 years old make these decisions. Black or Latin ones, of course.
