This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Outside of the US play the field by KnightlyRevue
Was an absolute disgrace. They are really going to play a World Cup final there? You could see the stitch lines for the seams where the grass did not quite cover the turf on my TV. The ball was skidding and coming to a dead stop all over the field. I really hope they do not select this place as a stadium for the World Cup and that they come to their senses and move the final to Pasadena or some other place that has a natural field. It is an embarrassment that we cannot produce a proper field for a match of this class.
