World Cup 2014: 'Psychic' turtle Big Head tips Brazil win

Free episodes:

Not gonna lie here, after that Brazil (fuck them, by they way))thingie, it delivelered in the end.Glad for Costa Rica, well deserved, was all for Greece though..hopefully we will do ok tomorrow...
 
My World Cup Déjà Vu para-moment: the commentator is talking about Greece's offside problems while on screen the proverbial cute soccer gal wearing jester's hat is smiling at camera then looks to screen right, cut to Greek player that was offside, cut to Greek coach looking a little more disgruntled than normal like the offsides were his fault. Not only did I see the exact same sequence of shots but I also heard the exact same set of comments from the commentator as well during a match in the group stages. Either the video switcher is just recycling previous shots or the psychic octopus is trying to contact me. From my previous years as a video editor I always remember shot/audio sequences and I know I saw & heard that exact sequence before.

Either way I remain startled. WTF just happened my brain screamed?! But then the lull of that game brought me back to near sleep, waiting for Costa Rica to win, probably their last win of the tourney.
 
I'm watching the 0-0 draw at the end of 90 minutes and wonder if Paul has it right - especially with the USA-Belgium prediction which Floyd clearly told me would be 2-1 for Belgium?;)
 
BTW I wanted to mention earlier that 3-0 might be a little 'aggressive' of a Prediction Han but 90 seconds in and 1-0 already. maybe Paul's onto something. :rolleyes:

Paul's prediction was 2-1 to Germany after extra time! the 3-0 was mine :(

All of the group winners have won so far, hopefully the USA will break this pattern.
 
This is pretty funny even if you don't agree with it.. i don't really...but you have to listen to it not just read the story and listen to Frank being Frank :D

Even funnier are the comments, the old curmudgeon Frank Deford ruffled a lot of feathers here, apparently many of us Americans are ADHD riddled. It sorta ties in with the FB mood manipulating thread

Whoever this person is, he's apparently never heard of baseball. No clocks in evidence.
