We're told Europeans ***** about and criticize us. The wife and I covered a lot of ground over there and can't recall a single moment of feeling like we weren't welcome because we were American. Maybe because a lot of people see us as walking ATM machines or maybe they don't give any more f's about this nonsense than most of us do here.

-Member/Guest weekend was a success, complete **** show. First Day, was -1 for 27 holes and we earned 12.5 points out of a possible 30, good for dead last in the 1st flight.

2nd day was more of the same. Ended up +1 on the 54 hole weekend, while getting our brains beat in. Need to take CPG's tutorial a little more seriously next year -- hopefully, @assistbyhawkins can help with that.

-Saturday night's festivities included live music and a pretty legit Beer Fest. 45 beers, 15 breweries had booths: Bell's, Stone, Laguntas, Great Lakes, etc...all the locals as well. Was a huge success, and will continue going forward.

-Really going to miss this World Cup when it's over. Having sports on the moment you walk into work each day is awesome.

I'm sure there's a reason, but having both games on at the same time this week is BS.

-Uber Pool? Smh

The last round of group games are always scheduled to happen at the same time. It was a decision by FIFA to try and eliminate teams knowing exactly what they needed to move forward. This thwarted attempts for teams to manipulate the results by pressuring draws, or doctoring their goal differential to finish higher, lower, or eliminate other teams by their performance.

This and relegation are why the dudes who run soccer are the smartest of the five major sports.

Counterpoint: they decided the 2022 WC should be played in Qatar

In. #GameOver

I thought that Maroon 5 'Girls Like You' song was Teddy Pain until yesterday. Like that little jam.

Can't help to think it's probably done this way so FIFA officials can take bribes during game play and call to the refs to call a penalty on a player.

Rappers and Alternative bands have the market cornered on naming excellence. Sometimes I like to combine the two for absolute perfection.
