there has to be a score in the knockout portion of the tournament. when qualifying a tie is worth 1 point, winning is worth 3, a loss obviously nothing. the idea being that having an off day doesn't mean your team loses. much like baseball.

but then again that would require math or something else i'm sure you never learned on the farm.

much like every sport? i don't know of any sport where every single second of the game has you hanging off your seat in anticipation of a score.

blame ghanas players and the refs. fifa made it clear weeks before the world cup began they didn't want the untied states to advance. from the first game the refs tried to keep the team from advancing. if you know a little bit about soccer, you'd be sickened with the way the game went with ghana. blatant referee bias in favor of a team that played dirty. a very bad combination.

if you can get two teams who play fair and with honor, the game is far better.

we're already importing european players (no, not just beckham). soccer has made it's foothold in the US. it's here to stay.

the allies were well aware of what was happening, and we swept it under the rug until the war was ending. countless times we refused to run a bombing run of the camps, even towards the tail end of the war, when we had complete air superiority.

like i said, why is it a funny that 300,000 people died and their country was occupied?

never said france was in worse shape, but even russias backwards army, minus the purge of its officer corp, had better equipment, more man power, and the most important thing:reserve soldiers. france was decimated from ww1 in terms of man power. they lacked adequate reserves to replenish their losses.

it's like watching someone who just got off crutches get beat up and calling them a coward

communist government, genius. a totalitarian government is more easily able to manage a country, especially in a time of war, than a democracy.

and the winter of stalingrad was the reason they were haulted. the winter made them unable to use their heinkel bombers or their stukas. the cold made their tanks sieze up and their guns jam. and worst of all, most of the german soldiers were ill equipped for winter because no one thought barbarossa would take this long. stalingrad was a blip on the radar for the werhmacht, but it was the cold that stopped them. this allowed the russians to rearm and regroup, and start the counter offensive. once that started, the army heading towards moscow had to be split into two to help army group B. the middle of the offensive then collapsed, followed by leningrad and stalingrad, and the germans were too heavily hurt at this point to recover.

russian bravado had little to do with it. the russians had their asses handed to them by finland(if you want to talk about primitive). the russian army was not very good.

considering the germans would need one man for every french soldier, it's pretty obvious they didn't capture them all. that's nothing to do with a concentrated effort by the germans, but rather an obvious logistical need.

good thing you aren't in any sort of authority position. your horrendous interpretation of the most important war in modern history is scary.
