MUST WIN!! GO SABRES!!

KSA (uugghhh) made Argentina look bad at times. The D is vulnerable. I don't know how SA will look against Mexico or Poland, but they looked good today. I am doubting if Argentina makes it out. Two wins will be tough for them I think.

An upset for the ages.

*police walked in for Jimmy Jazz* ...

ARGOS!!

Bale saved the Wales on a penalty in the 82'. Match ended in a 1 -1 draw. I think the US was hoping for better than this result with England coming up.

US leads Wales 1 - nil at the half. Earlier Netherlands beat Senegal 2 - nil. England put a six pack on Iran. 6 - 2. Yikes.

Don't worry it's just Inky being Inky. Just nod and smile and he will eventually go away. 😉 I am scratching my head a lot with these combos at F and D.

Many are soured due the host less than shady character and corruption. All that be damned I love football and hate myself for showing interest in this WC. Mostly because Canada is in it for the first time in almost forever (1986 Mexico) when they fizzled out. USA kicks off at 15:00 (my time ... 14:00 EST) this afternoon against Wales. I expect Brazil to win it all.

England !! DAMN !!

The Sabres are doing it too. NJ is just a little further ahead since they did not have to undo earlier attempts that went wrong.

You are right about both. Last year was when they added the 3rd WC, which made it possible for all 4 in a division to make it in.

Yup, but I don't recall a time recently when half way through the season all 4 teams were in the playoff. The last 20 or so years NE ran away with the division and maybe one team was chasing them and eventually didn't make the playoff.

And

4+ pages in and I don't think that we have answered @SwampD. It's the same, but different somehow. How's that?

I have not been for years, but used to ski the Laurentiens norht of Montreal a lot. One of my favourite things that I looked forward to each winter was a week skiing in Utah (far less crouded than Vail). Snowbird and Alta were my favourites. Stayed in Salt Lake City, which was nice and quiet (except one year they had March Madness there and it was crazy) and used to take the shuttle buses up to the ski resorts and back every day. I still love it, but retired years ago.

The AFC standings this morning ... https://www.tsn.ca/nfl/standings The Bills are and will continue to be fine. Even $ to make the playoff along with KC. And a few bucks under KC to win the conference. Seems like the sport books still like the Bills chances. Everybody needs to relax (some more than others) and enjoy the ride. Also if not for a tiebraker all 4 AFC East teams would be in the playoff this morning.

28 - 16 !!

So far, so good, eh!!

Yes.

5 minutes into the opening match and Ecuador leads the hosts by 1 - 0.

The Sabres have drafted good players that are continuing to learn and grow as a team. They will have two studs on D. With a defensive anchor too. They need to find a reliable #4 that is young enough to fill out the top 4. The rest will be serviceable. The forwards are pretty good, but they need to fill one last legit top six guy. Ideally two that would push Asplund back into the bottom six where he is better suited. Cozsie and Tuchsie are good top six players on a good team. Skinsie is going to start to show his age, but is still a good goal scorer. Tage is becoming / is a true 1C. I think Jacksie will help us forget about that other guy. Mattsie will be a good player in the NHL. The Sabres desparately need Levsie to become that true top tier NHL goaler. Murrsie was a boob and Bottsie was on the right track until he hired Ralph which set the team back along with some other boneheaded moves. Donsie is the right coach for now. The thing is and it's always been this way ... the difference between winning and losing in the NHL is very little. These Sabres will be fine.

Agreed. The Bills will win big this weekend and almost as big on Thanksgiving.

GAME ON!! Opening match is today at noon (my time). I am trying not to be intertested in this fiasco. GO CANADA!!

This guy got Bjork sent back down so it's a good move if for no other reason. This guy is not the missing link to get the Sabres that damn cup, but he may have a little something to give the Sabres at this point.
