I don't know why Kiessling didn't play more he took some good shots in the late going. But I wanted Uruguay to win.

I wish Shannon would say, "The equalizing run is at the plate."

There's still room on the 2014 bandwagon. Uruguay played a hell of a game. Plus, they've got that guy that looks like the actor from "Wings" who can strike quite nicely.

I can't wrap my head around the "match for third place." I assume there's some prize money involved?

Didn't the NCAA tournament used to have a third-place game? I like it, actually. It's an extra game between two of the best teams so why not.

Speaking of this, when did the guy from Megadeath start playing for Spain?

World Cup seeding weighs the previous two world cup finishes in the rankings. It has a lot to do with where you end up and who you play. Not to mention money in the form of win bonuses or placement bonuses depending on what the nation's FA negotiated with the players.
