The biggest low was the Brazil gangbang. The surprise to me was the up and coming James. Dude is going to get paid.

I thought Muller was a lock but that shows what I know about soccer haha.

I'm going to pass along a tweet that I saw right after the Final match:

Bye Bye Futbol... Hello Football!

I think Neuer got robbed. Never seen a goalkeeper be in a zone for an entire tourney like that since Gigi Buffon.

I've never followed a futbol club before but between Neuer, Muller and Arjen Robben I might have to start watching FC Bayern Munich!

+ Lahm and Gotze. like 1/3rd of the german national team plays for bayern.

but Bayern just got trashed in the CL, they didnt look so good. i would suggest watching football games and finding a club that appeals to you rather than picking one at random.

Argentina dont make the final without messi, he might not have been far and away the best player in this tourney but he was deserving and still top 3. he looked pretty average for his standards past the switzerland game, but Argentina's forwards were trash as well outside of Lavezzi. im sure they feel pretty dumb not taking tevez.

Haha yeah my friend tried to convert me to Manchester United but that seemed too bandwagon-ish for me. It's cool that you follow Roma though! Totti was my all-time favorite player in the FIFA games lol. I'm going to try to follow the Premier league next year to see if a club catches my eye.

Played really well and two guys came up to me and said, "Man I'm really sorry. Ten years ago you would have gotten paid by us almost immediately and things in your life would have changed after meeting us and the kind of show you just had, but now it's all just bullcrap and legends and you aren't either. "

Sounds about right. Pandora, spotify... even iTunes f'd it all up. I'm still hopeful something great is still out there for musicians. I'm not hopeful listening to pop radio, which i did to punish myself I guess, but I am hopeful humanity still values the way good music makes them feel.

speaking of pop? wow I'm not just hearing auto-tune, but I'm hearing producers who make beats that are no even ok on a math level let alone an artistic level. weak weak weak stuff coming out. did just hear avett bros for the first time and thought some of the lyrics were good. I'll look into them.

you should just sell out and make pop song Danny, buy realgm and become a administrator.

This must be how it feels when I talk NBA basketball to my friends here who don't follow it.

Turned 25 today...my sister told me I turned a quarter century old today, and that's when it really hit me. Man I miss the good ole days when I didn't have responsibilities and priorities.

keep calm and join Barca. The premier league is currently garbage. They just lost their best player and are not getting any better.
