WannaBe: <perfidious> Hehheheh I was in on of those pools, number of years; lots of fun, only 5 bux/week to enter, no one gets 'hurts'. And the house/bar buys you a beer when you participate. (They know you will sit there for just a 'few' more cold ones) Now, those elimination pools on

  WannaBe: Germany won in Montreal, U.S. will travel to Montreal for semi match. (From Ottawa)

The other semi match will take place in Edmonton, with winners meeting in Vancouver.

I hope U.S. Have good flight mileage plan. I know Ottawa is not that far to Montreal.

  Penguincw: Not sure if you caught the game, but the States won 2-0! Germany missed a penalty kick, the US got theirs in, and an insurance goal. They'll face the winner of Japan/England.

Tough journey for Germany, having faced the #5, then #3, and World #2 now.

  WannaBe: Oh, yeah, saw about 60% of the game, missed the start because of work

Won't see any of the final, as I will be driving back from LA to SF.

  Penguincw: Wow. England concedes a last minute goal, and Japan moves on the final, with both teams undefeated. In the final, it'll be USA vs. Japan, and for the Battle for 3rd, it's England vs. Germany (what up with all these WWII rematches).

  WannaBe: The last WWC with US-JP ended on PK, unfortunately I will not be able to see the game, maybe, with luck, over time, maaaaybe the PK.

  OhioChessFan: I sure can't say the better team won. I think if the US and Germany played 10 times, Germany wins 6, maybe 7.

  WannaBe: You know what I love about going to Dodgers Stadium?

Stopping at Philips for a french dip beffore the game.

Watching all the beautiful ladies walking, and there were good ones yesterday. Yowza!!

You know what I hate about Dodgers Stadium?

All the walking, and it's up-hill, both ways, it seems. From the parking lot ($20) to the stadium, then to your seats.

Leaving the stadium, 53K people walking out, then 20K+ cars using 4 exits to reach two freeways.

Took me 40 minutes to go 5 miles to reach the on ramp.

Dodgers beating the Mets, plus firework show at the stadium, then on top of Chavez Ravine, we saw other cities set off their fireworks was incredible.

Jul-05-15  Pyke: Hi Wacky Wabbit, I somehow feel like Elmar Fudd.

You earned this one. My c4 pawn's a goner, after that my d pawn is doomed. My bishops got no scope - thanks to f6, my hopes of activating my dark squared bishop and thus saving the draw.

Well played, and thank you for the games.

Jul-05-15  chessmoron: 4-1 at half time. US is crushing Japan.

  WannaBe: Did not see any of the game, at all. I only caught the (Final) score because I picked up the SF/WAS game on radio while driving, and J. Miller congratulated the National Team on the win.

  WannaBe: Reddit users are asking/petitioning Ellen Pao to resign (or ousting her...)

Does that mean she will sue (all) them users for discrimination?

Few cute lines, Brady cameo, grocery store clerk was hilarious. Love the Comic Con fight scene and Tick in Ted 2. =)
