Personally I prefered TMNT but Power Rangers was still cool

[deathstorm]

True. I wonder how murph. Is doing from his surgery.

[H34VYM3T4LD4V3]

He should be fine, I hope he is

[RelentlessOblivion]

Where's Birdy? I've got to thank him and his dees for humiliating Adelaide and Richmond.

[deathstorm]

Holy shit. We are going to the stanley cup finals. Wooohooo new york rangers lets go rangers

Meanwhile in my sporting code the mighty Port Adelaide stand out as the dominant team of 2014. We've lost two games all year and could easily have won both of those games. We're also providing spectacular highlights such as this gem from a couple of weeks ago. x14pe_45r5g

Port adelaide are going great and my team came so close to beating them in Alice springs. Was such a good game to watch Chaddy wingard, ollie wines and brad ebert have been awesome to watch this season. Melbourne's new grabs like the veteran Daniel Cross. Bernie Vince and Dom tyson are awesome additions to the team

[RelentlessOblivion]

You'd have beaten us if it weren't for Robbie Gray and the Hoff. Great to see Melbourne playing competitive footy and Paul Roos has my vote for coach of the year. Never in my wildest dreams did I think Port could improve this much in such a short amount of time. You know you've got a serious team when Buddy Franklin plays just about the best half of his career, at the SCG, and Sydney still win by just four points.

So US lost to Germany, not a massive surprise...the massive surprise is that the US didn't get absolutely slaughtered. So Portugal's out, because they got their asses kicked harder than the US did, and that means the US is through to face whoever makes it from Group H. I suspect it'd be Belgium.

Port adelaide were holding the ladder up just 3 years ago, I also never thought they could improve that much. All the young blokes are playing so well, port have a great future ahead of them.

[RelentlessOblivion]

I always thought there was potential in the team. I thought it would take longer for us to get where we are but it's amazing what can be accomplished with the right coach and players who want to put in the hard yards.

I like soccer since it's easy to understand, and fairly exciting if the teams don't suck. Hockey's not bad either.

Maybe they can win another Flag on their tenth anniversary of their previous I think Melbourne still have a couple more years to improve, but hopefully we get a flag within the next ten years.

[RelentlessOblivion]

It would be nice but I don't think we're quite there yet.

[RelentlessOblivion]

Well that falls into the category of doomsday. We lost to Adelaide, quite badly, and lost our best two defenders in the same game. All of a sudden top four looks out of the question and just making the finals looks like a huge challenge.

Anybody else have about ten heart attacks watching Netherlands vs. Mexico? Wow! I have to get a drink now.

As being dutch, yeah, pretty much Huntelaar, the hero :D

It's kind of a pity, my job is from 12:00PM to 5:00PM so I can't watch weekly games properly (unless I got a stream of the games on the computer or something). I'd like to see the Argentina-Switzerland game...

[RelentlessOblivion]

Scans on Carlile and Trengove have revealed their hamstring and ankle injuries respectively are worse then expected. Currently unsure as to the duration of their stints on the sidelines. Losing the most in form full back in the AFL and one of the most versatile key defenders in the same game is bad. Having no players to cover those injuries is worse.

[SBird94]

I had Trengove in my Backline for dreamteam, I ended up swapping him and another player for Lynden Dunn. My other Port Players in my team are Chad Wingard and Jared Polec, just Recently put Buddy in the forward line and I'm hoping to put Josh P. Kennedy in my midfield.

[RelentlessOblivion]

My backline is Bartel, Hibberd, Simpson, David Swallow, Suckling and Broadbent. Midfield is Pendlebury, Xavier Ellis, Josh P. Kennedy, Ablett, Adelaide's Scott Thompson, Dayne Beams, Cornes and Rockliff, Rucks are Sandilands and Jamar, forwards are Taylor Walker, Jamie Elliot, Yarran, Robbie Gray, Dustin Martin and Steve Motlop.

[SBird94]

Ablett's Injury is big deal for fantasy league's. I ended up swapping him out for Tom Rockliff. Should have had him in earlier, averaging 125 points is amazing.
