I'll watch at least part of the WC third place game, but I wish they'd do away with it.

Determine how much revenue is generated by the game and just add that to whatever bribe money the host country pays to get the tournament.

This here tennis match that is going has been a marathon. The other semifinal match hasn't even started yet because these two keep hogging the court. Not cool, bruhs

John Isner is an attention hog. He'll do whatever he can to make sure the cameras stay on his matches for as long as possible.

The best part is that he can legitimately tell his opponent "I can do this ALL day, if you want." and he'll be right.

It's finally over! And I did not know that Isner is from Greensboro. Now I'm sorry that I was rooting for the South African guy.

Is there a World Cup pick 'em for 3rd place and finals?

I decided to make the last round entirely about the final. It goes up this morning.
