Uruguay Join Costa Rica in the Knockout Stages
The Journal provides analysis of the final games in Group D at the 2014 World Cup, featuring Italy vs. Uruguay; England vs. Costa Rica at 12 p.m. ET. Commentary is provided by Joe E. Melvin, with contributions from the WSJ team across the globe.
When Group D was dubbed the Group of Death (confusingly, it's one of several Groups of Death at the World Cup), everybody assumed that the sun would set over Brazil this evening with one of England, Italy and Uruguay being ejected from the tournament. Tiny Costa Rica – pitiful Costa Rica, with its lineup of nobodies from nowhere teams like Columbus Crew and F.C. Copenhagen – didn't stand a chance. But if the Group of Death was a movie, the Costa Ricans would be the self-effacing butler who ends up being the murderer. They smashed Uruguay. They stunned Italy. And it wouldn't be a huge surprise to anybody if they complete the trifecta against England.
But this afternoon's big game is in Natal, where Uruguay and Italy fight to join Costa Rica in the second round. Italy has the better goal difference, meaning Uruguay has to play for the win, but this game is likely to be a cagey, nervous affair, just as Mexico-Croatia was yesterday.
Uruguay coach Oscar Tabarez is set to name the same 11 as the team that out-thought and outfought England last week. It's a team of battlers led by two strikers as dangerous as any in the tournament.
Italy's Cesare Prandelli is likely to change things up, both because his last selection lost against Costa Rica, and because he's in the habit of tweaking his lineup depending on the opposition – some Italians would say he takes the tinkering too far.
Meanwhile in Belo Horizonte, 1,400 miles to the south, a demoralized England team has to fight for its first points of the tournament against a Costa Rica side that's already punched its ticket to the knockout stages.
Maybe, if the English are lucky, coach Jorge Luis Pinto will choose to rest some of the players who expended so much energy in overcoming Italy and Uruguay. Or maybe the Costa Ricans will get complacent and lose their focus.
It's safe to say that this undignified scenario wasn't one Roy Hodgson had in mind when he ran his eye over the fixture list back in December. He's the only one of these managers who'll name a drastically changed team this afternoon. Whether that's because he's lost faith in his original selection, or because his thoughts have turned to Euro 2016 and he wants to blood some youngsters, or because he wants to make sure as many players as possible get to enjoy a few minutes of action on Brazilian turf, your guess is as good as mine.
ENGLAND: Foster, Jones, Cahill, Smalling, Shaw, Milner, Lampard, Wilshere, Barkley, Lallana, Sturridge
COSTA RICA: Navas, Gonzalez, Borges, Duarte, Campbell, Ruiz, Brenes, Diaz, Gamboa, Tejeda, Miller
Two changes for Costa Rica, with Roy Miller of New York Red Bulls and Randall Brenes coming in for central defender Michael Umana and winger Christian Bolanos respectively. As for England… where to start? Only Gary Cahill and Daniel Sturridge keep their places. 18-year-old Luke Shaw is the youngest starter, but the presence of Frank Lampard (36) shows this is anything but a team for the future.
ITALY: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Darmian, Verratti, Pirlo, Marchisio, De Sciglio; Balotelli, Immobile
URUGUAY: Muslera, Caceres, Gimenez, Godin, Pereira, Gonzalez, Arevalo Rios, Rodriguez, Lodeiro, Cavani, Suarez
Prandelli picks three central defenders for the first time in the tournament. That makes sense on two levels. It means Italy's defense can mark Cavani and Suarez and still have a spare defender, and it allows the hugely experienced trio of Juventus defenders – Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini – to play alongside each other. In midfield Verratti reclaims his place from Thiago Motta. Up front, the speedy Ciro Immobile gets his first start. As expected, no changes in the Uruguay team.
Italians to coach: Stop tinkering, per favore http://t.co/pvcw1mWZrg #WorldCup

Italy will advance with a win or a draw.
Uruguay need to win to move on.
Costa Rica are through and are guaranteed to win the group if they avoid defeat.
In case you haven't been reading the sports pages… England are out, and have been for a while.
Hello, I am Francesco Guerrera, your resident Italy fan for this fascinating football adventure…let me rephrase that: for this excruciating 90 minutes plus injury time that will determine my mood for the next two years (until the European Championship, of course…).
Throughout the live blog, I will be sparring with my colleague and friend Eduardo Kaplan, who has the fortune of being from Uruguay, the team that will assail Italy's porous defense throughout the match.
Since my day job is to run the WSJ's financial coverage, I am going to preview the game Wall Street-style…
The bull case. Italy decides that playing for a draw just won't do and attacks from the start, taking the game to Uruguay. Italy scores a goal just before the end of the first half and manages to soak up the pressure in the second half, only to hit Uruguay on the counter and score the clinching second goal in the 76th minute. Dancing in Roman piazzas ensues. Key figures in this case: Mario "Zen" Balotelli, Andrea "Slowly Does It" Pirlo and St.Luigi Buffon.
The bear case. Italy plays for a draw, with 10 men behind the ball and Balotelli kicking his and defenders' heels up front. Suarez scores in the 88th minute. The whole country goes silent and sulky. Players and coaches blame the ref. The press blames players and coaches. Key figures in this case: Mario "Hothead" Balotelli, Giorgio "Past It" Chiellini and soon-to-be-outgoing Italy coach Cesare Prandelli.
With that, may the best European team on the pitch win….
Hello and welcome to our live blog of a game that pits teams with a rich soccer history – five World Cup titles between them . Both were recently humbled by Costa Rica in the group stage however and are now vying for a place in the next round. For Italy and Uruguay this is a final – it's either joy and a chance to speculate on the next matchup, or a plane back home.
I am Eduardo Kaplan, the Uruguayan representative at the WSJ, and delighted to engage with my colleague (and still my friend) Francesco Guerrera over the next 90-plus minutes of pure anxiety.
As an editor for world news, I'll counter Francesco's market analysis with a quick look at the teams' soccer policies. These are squads known for rugged defense, and Italy has an added incentive of going through with a tie, so no is expecting an all-out effort to score. Uruguay has perfected the art of the stealthy counter strike, but they tend to be uncomfortable when they have to take the initiative on the attack. They will have to show a different game this afternoon.
Best case: Uruguay avoids yellow cards early on; Suarez forgets he had surgery a few weeks ago and Cavani reminds Italian fans of his great last season at Napoli.
Worst case: Do you have to ask? The bigger question is whether Uruguay's beloved coach, Oscar "Maestro" Tabarez, will call it quits after a great run.
Today is Lionel Messi's birthday. He was born on the same day that Jackie Gleason died. Coincidence? You can be the judge of that. Leaving that uncanny coincidence aside, though, I think it's fair to say Messi's doing OK for a 27-year-old. I doubt he'd have much trouble answering the favorite question of every job interviewer, put it that way.
Careers adviser: Where do you see yourself in five years' time?
Messi: Hmmm. Tough one. Haven't really thought about it. I guess I'll just sort of carry on with what I'm doing. Is that OK?
The #worldcup's US TV ratings make it clear that soccer, the world's game, has finally come ashore. http://t.co/Ix2UXctxFu

Mario Balotelli couldn't score against Costa Rica to keep England in the tournament, but his tweet about kissing the Queen did wonders for his social media accounts.
Steven Gerrard on his England future. (This has been a hot topic in this year's edition of post-defeat soul-searching.)
"I think it'll come down to me, come down to how I'm feeling, come down to my body."
Unfortunately, he's right. England simply hasn't got a young defensive midfielder who's going to force the veteran out of the team. They'll be doing the same interview in another six years; the only difference will be that the furrows on his increasingly troubled-looking forehead will be a bit deeper.
We're 15 minutes away from kickoff in the Estadio das Dunas in Natal and the Estadio Mineirao in BeloHorizonte.
The game in Natal is far more important, and FIFA.com informs us that in both of the pair's two prior meetings in the World Cup, Uruguay failed to score. Their first engagement took place in the group round in 1970 and ended 0-0, before Italy prevailed 2-0 in the Round of 16 in 1990. That was the Italians' last win over Uruguay, against whom they have since conceded two draws and a defeat.
Diego Godin, Martin Caceres and Walter Gargano all currently hold yellow cards for Uruguay but Gargano is on the bench for the tilt against Italy. It'll be a test for both Godin and Caceres handling the hot-headed Balotelli and Ciro Immobile.
Night of the Living Suarezes?
Under the headline "We are All One," the front page of Uruguay's daily newspaper El Observador offers a cutout of Luis Suarez face, the country's great hope ahead of a must-win match. Watch for thousands of masked Suarezes taking over the streets of Montevideo.

The Azzurri are in good voice… But contrary to stereotype, they don't sing the national anthem in tune. Let's hope for better chemistry on the pitch…
Anthem time! Italy get started first as the players in Natal take to the pitch first. But soon the Costa Ricans are singing their own hearty offering too, and looking mighty serious about it. This causes problems for livebloggers trying to listen to two different match commentaries at the same time.
Here we go. Uruguay to keep it tight early, then go for it in the second half.
That's a guess, I picked England against Spain in the quarterfinals!
Prince Harry's in the crowd! England, fight for your country's honor! You must not disappoint the nation's most popular and fourth-most important prince!
Should Costa Rica finish top of the group today, it'll be only the fifth time in World Cup history that a team from Concacaf does so. Mexico did it on three occasions: South Korea/Japan 2002, U.S. 1994 and on home soil in 1986. The U.S. squeaked by its group that included England in South Africa 2010.
0-0, 1st minute
And we're off
0-0, 1st minute
Costa Rica kicks off, and so does Italy. Let's do this.
0-0, 2nd minute
Pereira calls a halt to a nascent Italy attack down the right with a meaty challenge. Italy are sitting deep and looking organized.
0-0, 3rd minute
Joel Campbell is a foot or so away from deepening England's agony, thumping a shot wide with Foster the goalie well-beaten.
Italy vs Uruguay, Natal. Made it from Recife with 30 minutes to spare. #WorldCup pic.twitter.com/NB5RPS2aAB

0-0, 3rd minute
Beautiful long punt upfield from Barzagli, who's on the right of that Italy back three. Immobile wins the header but Balotelli's not on his toes and the ball's intercepted.
0-0, 4th minute
Just one clean sheet in their last 10 games for Italy. Not very Italian.
0-0, 5th minute
5 minutes in, and the players in this unfamiliar England side still appear to be getting to know one another. More energetic attacking from the Costa Ricans.
0-0, 5th minute
Italy shaping up with two forwards – Balotelli and Immobile, which means immobile in Italian…. for the first time in the tournament. Three at the back to thwart the Uruguyan phenoms…
0-0, 6th minute
Suarez goes down under a late challenge by Barzagli and Uruguay has a free kick to the right of the center circle. Nothing comes of it.
0-0, 8th minute
Terrible flop by Chiellini… As one of my former football coaches used to say, "if you have to dive, do it properly"…
0-0, 8th minute
Free kick for Costa Rica in a fairly dangerous position towards the left touchline and Ben Foster is forced to claim the ball in the middle of the penalty box. He does this confidently enough. To keep this update goalie related, Gianluigi Buffon is forced to punch clear from a speculative long Uruguayan ball on the other screen I'm trying to watch.
0-0, 10th minute
Quite a cagey start in Natal. Pirlo can't get on the ball. Lots of little fouls and not much goalmouth action. Italy will be happier with how the game has begun.
0-0, 10th minute
Caginess prevails in Italy-Uruguay. Italy enjoys a spell of possession and Uruguay retreats, allowing the Azzuri to exchange some passes. It's good to see Andrea PIrlo has started in his favorite position in front of the defense. That's where he has to do the least running around, and Pirlo is wasted on running around.
0-0, 11th minute
There's a collector's item: a tackle by Andrea Pirlo… Treasure it, American viewers…
Pirlo then has a free-kick saved. There's plenty of evidence of his amazing technique.
0-0, 12th minute
First good chance for England as Sturridge is allowed to spin and get a shot away on the edge of the penalty box. A fine effort but the ball flashes wide of the far post.
0-0, 12th minute
Old habits die hard: Despite playing in a must-win situation Uruguay is fielding five in the back. Caceres moved to the center and Pereira keeps the corner. Cavani is behind Suarez helping to contain Pirlo.
#Italy v #Uruguay is like watching fraternal football twins do battle. #WorldCup

0-0, 16th minute
I'm at Wimbledon and just switched on the England World Cup game at my desk in the media center. I look around and everyone else appears to be watching Rafa Nadal.
I also sit by the window where I can see fans as they are walking from Centre Court to the outer court area. I haven't seen one person wearing an England kit.
If England is out of the World Cup, did the World Cup really exist?
Who's got the better hair? The Azzurri or the Uruguayan celeste? A Pirlo-like wig for the best answer…
— Francesco Guerrera (@guerreraf72) June 24, 2014
0-0, 17th minute
Costa Rica is hogging possession in a way that few would have predicted a fortnight ago. Gary Cahill intercepts a pass, though, and has a golden opportunity to release James Milner, who's haring goalwards up the right. But his pass is a bad one.
0-0, 17th minute
ESPN's graphics in the 17th minute saying what would happen "if result holds" are incredibly annoying… especially for superstitious folks like Italians and, I think, Uruguayans…
0-0, 18th minute
Sturridge spots that Navas has taken a few steps off his line and goes for the lob, lashing a highly ambitious half-volley from 30 yards. Highly ambitious but not very accurate.
0-0, 19th minute
Lampard stumbles around a bit in the D, trying to create space to shoot. He loses control of the ball but it bounces to Sturridge, who tries a neat little backheel to play the ball back into Lampard's path as he breaks into the penalty box. It's intercepted.
0-0, 20th minute
Italy keeping the ball at the back, but Balotelli and Immobile can't get into the game. Balotelli then commits a foul. Poor game here so far. Neither team willing to risk anything early on.
England may be out, but their fans are still having a good time…
0-0. 22nd minute
A trio of England players converge on Joel Campbell as he runs on to Tejeda's through-ball, and one of them – Adam Lallana, I think – fouls him. Free kick to the Costa Ricans, dead center and 30 yards or so out.
0-0, 22nd minute
Balotelli seems to be getting frustrated as he flies into 'El Palito' Pereira and shown a caution. He's not getting the comfortable balls in place as both sides are keeping the game wide open.
0-0, 23rd minute
Borges takes the free-kick and it's a powerful effort, drawing a fine diving save from Foster.
0-0, 23rd minute
Like a flower needs water, like a general needs an army, like the sun needs the moon, Balotelli needs a yellow card….Calmo Mario !
Now, Italy wonders: how will the yellow card affect Balotelli's psychological equilibrium? #wsjworldcup
— Giovanni Legorano (@glegorano) June 24, 2014
0-0, 25th minute
Lallana almost finds Jack Wilshere with a clever pass that would give the Arsenal midfielder a one-on-one against Navas, but they're not on the same wavelength (not surprising in the circumstances) and Wilshere is caught flatfooted, allowing a defender to clear up.
0-0, 27th minute
Man, do Brazilian fans love doing The Wave. This has occurred at all four games I've been to. I do approve of "Thunderstruck" before kickoff, however.
0-0, 28th minute
Barkley nods a header down to Sturridge after winning a header and Sturridge is clean through! But he's denied a fairly clear penalty as a defender (didn't see which) hooks him to the turf with an outstretched leg that doesn't threaten to go anywhere near the ball.
0-0, 28th minute
Two defensive teams relying on mercurial offensive superstars. Balotelli draws the first yellow, and Uruguay's Pereira suffers the second blow to the head in two games.
Uruguayan soccer pundits complaining Italy is giving up on its new offensive style, why would they when they just need a tie?
— Eduardo Kaplan (@edkap) June 24, 2014
0-0, 29th minute
Although Italy is on the attack slightly more than their Uruguayan counterparts, both sides are hesitant and cautious in their play. Uruguayan radio analysts are currently conceding their side is lacking quality at the moment as Italy starts to dictate possession albeit without precision.
0-0, 29th minute
Pirlo manages to look like he knows exactly what he's doing, even when he's elegantly chipping a soccer ball miles out of play with none of his team-mates anywhere near it. For anybody else it would look like a clear error; with Pirlo, there's always a feeling that the universe itself is somehow to blame..
0-0, 30th minute
Immobile shows why he was playing for Pescara two years ago… (SIGH)
0-0, 31st minute
That's just showing off from Bryan Ruiz. He controls on the run, skips past one challenge, and twirls, ballerina-like, around the challenge of Frank Lampard. His final pass isn't the best though, allowing Cahill to intercept.
0-0, 32nd minute
That's why we call him SAINT Luigi Buffon…but that's living dangerously for Italy… You can't allow Suarez behind your lines like that.
(Suarez got in behind, but Buffon made a good double save to deny him – JM)
0-0, 32nd minute
Buffon single handedly (but using both hands) stopped the best scoring chance for Uruguay – One shot by Suarez and the rebound by Cavani.
0-0, 33rd minute
Sturridge is sent clear down the right. He burns past the defense and digs out a chipped cross which goes out for a corner. Then England win a few more corners. At press time, the corners were yet to result in anything significant happening, other than more corners.
Balotelli seems ok…Maybe he really does need a kiss from Queen Elizabeth
— Francesco Guerrera (@guerreraf72) June 24, 2014
0-0, 36th minute
Lampard unleashes a ridiculous 40-yard pass which releases James Milner on England's left flank. He manages to keep it in after a lung-bursting sprint and does well to find Lallana with a decent cross. The ball hasn't quite enough speed on it for Lallana to do much with his header though.
0-0, 38th minute
No rhythm to the Italy/Uruguay game yet. A few whistles. Not sure why Uruguay are shooting from their own half either – that's twice now, and I don't remember Buffon ever conceding a goal like that.
0-0, 39th minute
Tejeda releases Campbell down the right. Campbell waits for the overlapping run of Gamboa outside him and Gamboa tests Foster with a high, swerving, cross. The goalie claims comfortably.
0-0, 41st minute
Immobile looks exactly that. Godin times his tackle perfectly again after some good passing from the Italians. Neither set of strikers can get anything going.
0-0, 42nd minute
Milner. Wilshere. Lampard. Lallana. That's four English names in a row. Flowing football from the underdogs. But although England has started to look confident, even dominant, in possession, they're not finding it easy to break Costa Rica down.
There's not much to say about the Italy game, this tweet kind of sums it up…
Total calm in Milan's Brera district waiting for something to happen. #ITAvsURU pic.twitter.com/b5AC8LKNgz
— Eric Sylvers (@EricSylvers) June 24, 2014
0-0, 43rd minute
That's more like it from England. On the turn, Lallana prods a beautiful little pass between two midfielders for Jack Wilshere, who picks out Ross Barkley in turn. Barkley is at times an unstoppable combination of muscularity and speed, and he barges open a shooting angle and lets fly with his left – it's comfortably wide, though.
0-0, 45th minute
We're into injury time in both games. Suarez has a free-kick deflected out for a corner, but that also comes to nothing.
0-0, 45th minute
Fine defensive displays on both Uruguay and Italy but erratic passing with very little ideas. Will we see our second goalless draw of the tournament?
0-0 England v Costa Rica, Halftime
A huge Costa Rican clearance manages to fly past Phil Jones and Brenes is almost clean through. 45 minutes of cautious superiority almost undone by a characteristically inexplicable moment of brain-freeze. Thankfully for England, Brenes can't get the ball under control, and that's it for the half.
That's halftime in both games. More chances in the England game, but probably what we all expected in the Italy v Uruguay game.
Phew !!! First 45 = a snooze-fest. And that's absolutely fine… I am not looking forward to the second half..
Two games. No goals. Has this ever happened before in the history of World Cup soccer? I haven't consulted the archives, so it's hard to be sure, but it seems inconceivable.
On reflection, the weird thing about the England game is that Costa Rica has looked like an occasionally dangerous but on the whole rather limited soccer team – in other words, the kind of team everybody thought Costa Rica would be before they turned up and started crushing former World Cup winners left and right. That said, you'd have to back even ordinary Costa Rica to beat England.
The Uruguayans in my section are whistling with increasing volume each time an Italian player lies down and kills more clock. The Italians are masters at it.
The first half of #ITA-#URU was so dire that the fans booed at half-time. The 0-0 to end all Italian 0-0s. #WorldCup
— Joshua Robinson (@JoshRobinson23) June 24, 2014
Stats-wise, Italy had 64% of possession and completed 161 passes altogether while Uruguay managed to string 58 completed passes. Lodeiro and Gonzalez have been somewhat reserved. Maxi Pereira warming up for the Uruguayans.
0-0, 46th minute
The teams are back out. We want goals in the second half. Uruguay need them, we just want them.
0-0, 46th minute
Early foul by Rios. The game is back into the ugly rhythm we had in the first half. Uruguay can't get Suarez or Cavani on the ball.
0-0, 46th minute
England kicks off the second half and get started on the front foot as Cahill thumps a long ball up to Lallana. He can't quite control.
0-0, 46th minute
As mentioned, Maxi Pereira replaces Lodeiro, who was somewhat hesitant in his attack and movement. Uruguay will most likely now move to a four-man backline from five. Will it help or doom Uruguay?
0-0, 47th minute
Frank Lampard pulls up in pain after stretching for a loose ball. At first it looks like the kind of strain you'd expect to see in a guy who's not getting any younger, but it turns out that Miller has taken the opportunity to plant his studs on Frank's ankle. Ouch. He'll carry on though.
0-0, 48th minute
Caceres picks up an injury. He'll carry on, but it's just another stoppage. This is playing into Italy's hands.
0-0, 49th minute
England has a free-kick after Gamboa was pulled up for a foul on Luke Shaw. The free-kick's cleared but only as far as Shaw, who unleashes a drive from distance. It's blocked but bounces straight to Sturridge. It's a tough one to control, though, and Navas manages to smother the ball at his feet.
0-0, 50th minute
Parolo came on for Balotelli at halftime. His face is like thunder as he watches on.
Can't have much sympathy though as he looked like he was going to be sent off.
Pereira replaces Lodeiro for the second halfh hoping to secure the midfield. But they still need to win. Will Forlan get a chance?
— Eduardo Kaplan (@edkap) June 24, 2014
0-0, 51st minute
Kaylor Navas was down and seemingly in pain after that clash with Sturridge, but he's OK to carry on. The replay shows that was a brave bit of goalkeeping from the Costa Rican.
0-0, 52nd minute
Gamboa forces a route past Ross Barkley on England's left and is set to charge into space, but Barkley is booked for trying to bring him down. A fair yellow card but Gamboa is frustrated that he wasn't allowed to carry on playing.
0-0, 54th minute
Suarez had a point to prove against England, but he's really of his game here.
The whistle is blowing more times than passes are being completed.
0-0, 55th minute
Both games still goalless. The Group of Death is could be killing us through boredom.
0-0, 55th minute
Midfield scrappiness from both England and Costa Rica. It's all petty fouls and misplaced passes. And still no goals! Have these soccer matches got no shame? They're dragging the reputation of this so-far exciting tournament through the mud.
0-0, 56th minute
The question about Immobile is the one an interviewer once asked of the UK's Liberal Democrats: "What's the point"? Let's hope he proves the doubters wrong like the Lib-Dems (now in government)
0-0, 58th minute
Best chance of the game for Rodriguez, but he can't test Buffon. Suarez scooped it through, but the shot was a long way wide in the end.
0-0, 59th minute
Marchisio sent off. Straight red. Italy down to 10 men.
0-0, 59th minute
In Belo Horizonte everyone's mostly rolling around on the grass wearing agonized facial expressions. Adam Lallana gets a yellow card as he gives a Costa Rican midfielder a bruise to remember him by.
0-0, 59th minute
Lallana scampers clear down the left, beating Gamboa for pace and sending a low pass skidding across the face of goal. Sturridge is lurking in the center but Navas collects.
0-0, 60th minute
That was definitely a red card… Italy, as many times before, pushes the self-destruct button… This is going to be an enjoyable half an hour…
Marchisio out: can't believe this. Yellow card at most #wsjworldcup
— Giovanni Legorano (@glegorano) June 24, 2014
It was a red… Marchisio literally lets the side down…Ora si soffre !
— Francesco Guerrera (@guerreraf72) June 24, 2014
0-0, 61st minute
Barkley is brought down by a violent and late challenge from Gonzeles and England wins a free kick in front of the penalty area. Lampard's free kick isn't a good one.
0-0, 63rd minute
Italy seemed to be playing for the 0-0 anyway. Not sure the red card changes much, it just means the Italians will be even more defensive (if that's possible).
0-0, 63rd minute
Sterling replaces Lallana. For Costa Rica, Bolanos replaces Brenes and immediately tests Foster with a drive from 25 yards. Another good save from Foster, low to his right.
0-0, 64th minute
Now the dreadful but intense match can get exciting. A desperate Uruguay can find more space with Marchisio gone. Tabarez is bringing in Stuani, a more offensive-minded midfielder to capitalize on the advantage
0-0, 64th minute
Another factor to consider is the heat. As Italians are down to 10 men, will they wilt, especially with the Uruguay's known aggressiveness as they come under pressure to net one? This is Suarez and Cavani time. Rodriguez can be dangerous too.
0-0, 65th minute
Time for Prandelli to think about subs. A lot of tired legs out there among the dark blues…
0-0, 65th minute
Great save by Buffon. Suarez gets his first real look at goal and Buffon gets low to his right to turn it around the post.
0-0, 65th minute
So close for England. Sterling controls Smalling's thumped diagonal pass and cuts infield onto his left, picks out Jack Wilshere who send the ball angling back through the defense, and suddenly Sturridge is one-on-one against Navas. He's been as good a finisher as anybody in the past year, Sturridge, but he curls this one just wide off the far post when he should really do better.
0-0, 66th minute
Tabarez inserts striker Christian Stuani for Alvaro Pereira. It's all or nothing for Uruguay.
0-0, 67th minute
Brilliant save… Buffon remains one of the best shot-stoppers in the world…
Buffon denies Suarez…again. Like the Terminator he'll be back.
— Eduardo Kaplan (@edkap) June 24, 2014
0-0, 68th minute
Fluency in midfield from Sterling, Barkley and Wilshere, cutting through the Costa Rican midfield with a few quick vertical passes. OK, so the final pass is cut out, but that's the kind of play England need to produce if they're to earn a victory here.
0-0, 70th minute
Corageous but good move to bring on Cassano… Uruguay has to leave spaces at the back and he can exploit them… Plus he can score if Italy goes one down…
0-0, 70th minute
A nice through-ball from Sterling sends Sturridge clear into the penalty box – you expect him to shoot but he delays and dithers and eventually goes down under a challenge from Gonzales. He wants a penalty but the ref awards a corner kick. The right decision – Gonzales got the ball, just.
0-0, 71st minute
Cassano comes in for Immobile.
Can't say Immobolie has done much to suggest he'll get picked again, even with Balotelli suspended.
0-0, 71st minute
Twenty minutes to go and in my WSJ office I feel as hot as I was on the pitch… Italian football is never about pleasure…
0-0, 71st minute
Crucial challenge from Sterling (well, as crucial as anything can be in a sporting event whose result doesn't matter all that much for either participant) to prevent Bolanos from running clear on the right.

Sterling, hurtling down the left, just about manages to keep Sturridge's corner in play and is rewarded for his energy by winning a corner somewhat fortuitously when the ball bounces off a defender and out of play. Nothing comes of the set piece, and Rooney is brought on for James Milner.

Pirlo's free kick effort guided away by Moslera, which results in a corner kick but that results in nothing. Uruguay sprints off on a counter after a Godin clearance but Italy quickly retrieves. Another attack comes to nothing as Muslera snatches the ball for some more time-wasting.
1-0 Uruguay, 86th minute
Time to get one more attacker in… Prandelli can make his last decision as Italy's coach and put Insigne on.. What's the point of being cautious now?
1-0 Uruguay, 87th minute
Why does Suarez love biting so much? I think this is his third recorded bite as a professional soccer player. He bit Branislav Ivanovic, and he bit somebody when he played in Holland. Most athletes get through their whole careers without notching up even a solitary nibble. Impressive work.
Godin, who scored great game saving headers with Atletico Madrid this season comes through. Now nine minutes of excruciating anxiety…

Gerrard fires in an arcing free-kick from deep. Rooney hurls himself at it. He's close to connected, and if he connects then the keeper's beaten, but there's such a gulf between almost getting there and getting there.

Italy bites the dust
— Francesco Guerrera (@guerreraf72) June 24, 2014
Did he bite him? It looked like Suarez tried to headbutt Chiellini first, but the Italian was trying to show some teeth marks on his shoulder.
I want more evidence, but it looked like he did at least try to bite him.
The bear case, as predicted… Late goal by Uruguay. Italy will talk about the Suarez "bite" but they have to look at their own lack of discipline, first with Balotelli and then, incredibly, with Marchisio. It's fine to be defensive but you have to execute and in the end Uruguay executed better…
Uruguay will advance to the second round of the World Cup after that controversial victory. Italy will complain that Marchisio maybe shouldn't have been sent off; they will point to what Luis Suarez did to Giorgio Chiellini and remind the world that use of the teeth is banned in soccer.
But Italy played with little ambition, and Uruguay were still the team that had to score. It was inevitable that the man who made the difference at the decisive moment had to be Diego Godin, the hero of Atletico Madrid who's already decided so much this season. The sight of Godin wheeling away in celebration after heading home a corner is perhaps the defining image of the last year of soccer.
Yet the team that did this to Italy wasn't Uruguay, not really. The real culprits were the Costa Rican upstarts who turned up at the World Cup with nothing expected from them and have now topped the Group of Death with seven points from three games. The team that beat Uruguay and Italy spent the last 90 minutes being outplayed – not dramatically, but still outplayed – by England; they'll need to regain their blistering intensity if they're to go much further in the tournament. As for England, they tried and tried to break Costa Rica down, and couldn't do it. They'll go home with a single point, bottom of the group.
The proof: pic.twitter.com/c1farivpcn
— Alex Wickham (@WikiGuido) June 24, 2014
So Uruguay lives to suffer through the next round. A classic game for La Celeste, cautious on offense even when winning is the only option, tough on defense and relying as always on Suarez or Cavani for a score. Truth is, Uruguay may have perfected the art of boring its opponents, and getting through by the skin of its teeth. A warning about Suarez, he needs to keep his temper under control. Refs will be watching him closely.

Volleyball rolls to sweep of LIU
Oct. 12, 2011
Brooklyn, N.Y. - Senior Alicia Nelson (Apple Valley, Minn.) tallied a match-high 21 kills and the Stony Brook University volleyball team hit a season-high .337 on its way to a 3-0 (25-23, 25-21,25-18) victory over the Long Island Blackbirds on Wednesday night. The Seawolves improved to 10-9 with the victory, which snapped a six-match LIU winning streak.
Nelson hit .477 for the match for the Seawolves, who finished the match with 12 blocks (two blocks solos, 20 block assists). Freshmen Taylor Gillie (Fort Wayne, Ind.) and Katie Anderson (Anchorage, Alaska) each had a block solo and five block assists while freshman Laura Hathaway (Warsaw, N.Y.) led Stony Brook with 14 digs.
Senior setter Kelsey Sullivan (Hamilton, Va.) had 33 assists and also chipped in with four kills. Sophomore Evann Slaughter (Clinton, Md.) had seven kills and five block assists.
LIU jumped to a 10-4 lead in the opening set and still led 18-12 late in the set. But the Seawolves then seized control, scoring eight of the next 10 points to tie the score at 20.
A service ace from sophomore Hailee Herc (Eden, N.Y) gave Stony Brook its first lead at 24-23. Then, following an LIU timeout, Nelson closed out the set with a kill.
SBU led most of the way in set two, grabbing a 15-10 advantage following an LIU attack error. The Blackbirds closed within two on six occasions but were never able to get any closer as the Seawolves took a 2-0 lead.
Stony Brook led from start to finish in the third set as SBU jumped to a 10-3 lead and never looked back to finish off the sweep. The Seawolves held the Blackbirds to an attack percentage of .145 for the match.
SBU returns to America East play on Sunday, hosting Providence at Pritchard Gymnasium. First serve is set for 1 p.m.

Finding the Perfect Hue
It's a common theory that we eat with our eyes first, which is why, perhaps second to beverage packaging, the color or appearance of a beverage can be one of the most important factors in whether a consumer picks up a drink from the shelf.
The hue of a beverage, whether it's opaque or transparent—as well as intensity, tint and warmth—triggers consumers to anticipate the drink's flavor.
In fact, studies have shown that color can alter consumers' perception of taste.
A study published in the Journal of Consumer Research found that consumers given two cups of the same orange juice, with one darkened with food coloring, perceived the brighter orange hued drink as sweeter than the other one.
So, beverage marketers must decide what particular hue—whether bright cherry red or a darker cranberry red—best matches their product and what that color will ultimately say to consumers.
From a formulation point of view, there are many factors that go into choosing a beverage color.
According to Rajesh Cherian, manager of application support for ROHA Food Colors, product formulators must understand the product parameters, such as whether to use certified colors or colors exempt from certification, which include pigments derived from natural sources, and the processing conditions, shelf life and packaging for the finished product.
"Synthetic colors are very stable towards heat, light and reactivity within a beverage system. With the exempt color category, the package becomes very important," Cherian says. "The critical parameters to be looked at are pack sizes, packaging type (opaque or transparent), possibility of secondary packaging and UV protection barriers. Color stability can be improved by providing secondary packaging or a UV protection barrier."
As natural colors are susceptible to degradation by heat and light, beverage manufacturers often will use sleeve wraps on beverage containers to protect the natural colors from light exposure.
Naturally-derived colors, which include colors sourced from fruits and vegetables, are increasingly popular, especially in natural functional beverages as many ingredients double as both natural sources for color and can boost the health profile of the drink.
For instance, anthocyanins have proven antioxidant activity and beta carotene can provide a natural orange color and be a good source of Vitamin A.
David Luks, CEO of Honeydrop, a line of natural honey-infused teas and juices, says the company uses natural juices to achieve slightly different hues for its line of healthy juices and teas. For instance, the Blood Orange variety of Honeydrop gets its appealing pinkish-orange hue from actual blood orange juice and carrot juice, while the Blueberry variety contains, along with blueberry juice, elderberry juice and purple carrot juice.
"The juices have functional benefits and help with the longevity of the color," he says. "Color plays a huge role. People often refer to the particular variety they drink by color. They'll say, 'I buy the orange one.'
According to color supplier D. D. Williamson, research into the most popular natural hues for beverages found uncolored tops the list, which is reflected in the number of all-natural enhanced waters, followed by red, yellow and brown hues. Natural red hues reflect the continued popularity of berry-type fruits and flavors, says Jody Renner-Nantz, application scientist with color supplier D.D. Williamson.
"Red often suggests berry flavors, which are appetizing and connote health," she says. "With different shades of red, there's blue/red or a more tomato red, and those can cue the mind into thinking about a particular flavor."
According to Campbell Barnes, vice president, brand and market development at D.D. Williamson, this year in particular, with the ongoing down economy, consumers are gravitating toward safe, stable and reliable products and this extends to fruit and vegetable hues in food and beverage products.
Campbell says D.D. Williamson has identified pumpkin bisque, which is an orange hue with brown earth tones, and cranberry red, which represents a shift toward a cooler, more saturated red hue, as both popular colors for food and beverage products this year.
The intended target market plays a big role in beverage color choice, notes Cherian.
"Kids, for example, are attracted to bright, vibrant colors and appreciate over-coloring," he says.
There is an obvious trend toward clear or subtle colors for all-natural drinks or drinks with a healthy positioning. For instance, Jones Soda, which carved out a place in the beverage market selling brightly-colored soft drinks such as Blue Bubblegum and Green Apple flavored sodas, went in a different direction for its Au Naturel line of sparkling water. The line contains flavor essences of green apple, orange mango and lemon lime combined with carbonated water to create a beverage that connotes healthy refreshment with its clear, bubbly appearance.
At the same time, bright, bold colors also are unquestionably popular with sports drinks, such as Gatorade and Powerade ION4, which comes in a bright blue Berry and Tropical flavor as well as bright red Cherry and a yellow hued Orange flavor. Developed by sports scientists, Powerade ION4 contains a combination of four minerals (sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium) and carbohydrates designed to help active adults rehydrate and replenish the fuel the body loses during exercise. Often, a specific color hue, such as a bright blue, can enhance brand recognition.
To this point, despite the growing trend toward natural colors, sports and energy drinks with bright, bold colors continue to do well in the market.
According to SymphonyIRI, Powerade ION4 topped it's list of New Product Pacesetters in 2010 with $190.5 million in sales.
This speaks to the power of color to enhance a particular brand image—subtle colors and dark juice colors can connote health while the bright, bold colors of sports drinks often connote energy and play up the performance enhancing effects of the ingredients.

Genius never desires what does not exist.
Soren Kierkegaard (1813 - 1855)
Contributed by: Zaady
Geniuses are like thunderstorms. They go against the wind, terrify people, cleanse the air.
There are two kinds of geniuses. The characteristic of the one is roaring, but the lightning is meagre and rarely strikes; the other kind is characterized by reflection by which it constrains itself or restrains the roaring. But the lightning is all the more intense; with the speed and sureness of lightning it hits the selected particular points - and is fatal.
Talent warms-up the given (as they say in cookery) and makes it apparent; genius brings something new. But our time lets talent pass for genius. They want to abolish the genius, deify the genius, and let talent forge ahead.
Genius, like a thunderstorm, comes up against the wind.
Source: THE JOURNALS
The case with most men is that they go out into life with one or another accidental characteristic of personality of which they say: Well, this is the way I am. I cannot do otherwise. Then the world gets to work on them and thus the majority of men are ground into conformity. In each generation a small part cling to their "I cannot do otherwise" and lose their minds. Finally there are a very few in each generation who in spite of all life's terrors cling with more and more inwardness to this "I cannot do otherwise". They are the geniuses. Their "I cannot do otherwise" is an infinite thought, for if one were to cling firmly to a finite thought, he would lose his mind.
I have known no man of genius who had not to pay, in some affliction or defect either physical or spiritual, for what the gods had given him.
Sir Max Beerbohm (1872 - 1956)

I don't speak for others and they don't speak for me. Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself; but talent instantly recognizes genius.

The product worked well with securing my families 4 bikes to the back of our minivan. The only things I came across that were negative were: 1. the picture only instructions 2. how heavy the carrier was and even with the bike adapters in place 3. you ran across interference of different types with each bike like a seat that is down to the cross bar requiring the seat to be moved and in another case the reflectors causing some interference that had to be worked around.

These are about 21* inches from heel to top, unstretched. The cuff will stretch out to about 24 inches and the calf stretches to about 22 inches, but keep in mind that the more they stretch out the less they will stretch up. They make an excellent knee high on larger calves!
* Due to some inconsistencies in the manufacturing of these socks, some of them were made about 3 inches longer than the others.

Never Give In To Threats
Notice I didn't write never, but in most situations you should never back down from anyone. That's right boys, you're all going to grow some pomodoros between your legs and won't back down when someone tries to intimidate you.
That said, in my line of work, I hate people who grow a magical pair of testicoli when it's convenient for them. When I send Alfredo out to collect for our "cheese" deliveries, the last thing I want to be faced with is some Joe Schmo turkey who doesn't want to pay up because he doesn't like my prices and wants to make a point.
I have many ways of dealing with situations like this, but it dawned on me a while back that people who are stubborn will burn their lives away if they feel "extorted," even if the smart and safe thing to do is pay up. So I make it real easy for them, by actually giving them something in return, so the guy on the other side doesn't walk away empty-handed.
In my case, they get "premium" cheese at a premium price, so Joe Schmo can pay me what I want and maintain his pride and his legs. It no longer becomes extortion, it becomes a business transaction and, in that situation, everybody wins.
setting a precedentLet's talk about the real and only reason you should not give in to a threat, extortion or blackmail. The minute you do, you set a very nasty pattern for more threats, extortion and blackmail. Your rep on the street or even in the corporate boardroom gets cemented. You want to deal with Charlie on the 7th floor? Threaten the little stronzo and he'll cave in like a little girl.
It's not complicated and I'm not going to preach about it for 10 pages. You do not give in to threats because the minute you do, you have just given everyone the manual on how to deal with your sorry arse.
More importantly, you can never show you're scared. Predators smell fear a mile away, and when the guy threatening you senses fear, you're as good as done because no matter what you might say or how brave you pretend to be, he'll know you're bluffing. The only way to make a point is by taking a stand and not giving in to intimidation.
I hate going into politics, but there's a good recent example that will illustrate my point. Spain is usually a country full of very courageous men; after all, they have a festival where they purposely have bulls with sharp horns chasing them down streets just to prove they're men.
But those Spaniards gave in too quickly...

'Game of Thrones' panel packed but worth the wait
To get a seat at the HBO "Game of Thrones" panel you had to wait in what fans were dubbing "the epic line." For those lucky enough to make it in, here's what we heard from the cast and writers, which included author George R.R. Martin, who moderated the one-hour discussion. (And yes -- they talked about Season No. 2 ...)
Jason Momoa (Khal Drogo): He kind of stole the show. Momoa walked onto the stage with dark shades but when he whipped them off, his eyes were made up with that deeply charcoaled makeup of the Khal. (The audience went nuts.) When asked who would win a battle between Conan (who he once played) and Drogo, he quickly said "Drogo would kick Conan's ass." He loved learning the language of the Dokthraki, which he said at first sounded like a cross between "Jabba the Hutt and Foozie Bear." (If fans are lucky, on the DVD release of the show, they'll get to see the "dance" he performed in his audition that the producers said got him the part of Drogo.)
Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister) on playing the rather evil Queen: "It's fine playing a character who isn't trying to be morally good. But people do come up to me and say 'I hate you!'"
Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister): Dinklage was rather sedate. Someone in the audience says that's just how he is. His favorite part of the first season? "I loved the White Walker stuff." (OK -- he did say he had the most fun filming the scene when he was on trial because they used a lot of extras and he felt like he got to be master of ceremonies for the cast and crew during the lulls between shooting.)
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister): His favorite scene is at the end of Season No. 1 with Ned Stark's widow, Catelyn (where he sort of propositions her in a nasty way and she whacks him on the head with a rock). He says he was horrified when he read his part in the story when he pushes little Bran out the tower window. "You're going to a very deep dark place and all" with a scene like that, he said.
Kit Harington (Jon Snow): He describes his character as a "bad ass with a sword. He's a mysterious guy. I loved him the minute I saw him on paper." Harington says that people kind of recognize him now in public, most recently at Costa Coffee. "They get a kind of puzzled look" at first before they realize he is Jon Snow in the series, he says.
Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen): Says she hadn't read "A Game of Thrones" until after her first audition and then she tore through it, falling in love with the character of Dany. She says she has notes and dogged-eared pages in that book. She wants to keep in character and is reading the books as the HBO series progresses, so she's just reading the next book -- "A Clash of Kings" Her favorite scene so far? "The final scene (in season No. 1) where I see my (dragon) babies." When she first saw it on the screen, "just the sound of them" made her shiver.
Author George R.R. Martin: Says he is concerned about how the entire series will end. He's juggling a lot of balls and he hopes he "can bring it all together as magnificently as I can see it in my head." He added that "he's a fan of bittersweet endings," which brought a little bit of a good-natured groan from the audience. He will write the Battle of the Blackwater, a huge army/navy clash that takes up several chapters in the second book, "A Clash of Kings." (He hinted it could be expensive and was taking donations.) Read our previous interview with GRRM HERE.
Producers and writers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss: They plan to stick closely to "A Clash of Kings" in season No. 2 of the HBO series, so anyone who has read the books shouldn't be surprised, they said. Viewers will get to meet the red priestess and will see more of the dragons and dire wolves. They hope they can snag a season No. 3, and that's where they aren't sure how things will play out, said Benioff. Book No. 3 in the series -- "A Storm of Swords" is very long, so they aren't sure how they will break things up. Benioff says they just want to get to the "RW" scene, which Martin says was the toughest he's had to write. (For those who have read the books, we know what the "RW" scene is, but if you haven't, the panel didn't want to spoil it for you so we won't either.) .

Yesterday, a new player entered the phablet market with a device that sports the largest 1080p display. The New Pantech Smartphone, Vega No. 6, is worthy of being called a flagship because it features really high-end hardware technical specs.
The Vega No. 6 features: a 5.9 inch Full HD display screen, a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor clocked at 1.5 GHz, 32 GB internal storage, 2 GB of RAM, expandable memory via a microSD card, a 2-megapixel front facing camera, NFC, LTE, and a 3150 mAh battery.
All the above features are great but the prime highlight of New Pantech Smartphone Vega No. 6 is its camera. On the back it has a 13-megapixel camera that is touted to Capture "DSLR quality photos". Whatever that means? Vega No. 6's lens aperture is not that big as compared to its competition, so I don't think it would be able to capture photos better than what Xperia Z could.
As for the software, New Pantech Smartphone Vega No. 6 runs on Android v4.1 JellyBean, but not the stock ROM. Pantech has created a custom ROM called Flux UX for its Android Smartphones. The phone would be shipped in two colors: Black and White, but you can always customize with colorful covers that can be for cheap locally.
If you're thinking of buying this New Pantech Smartphone, you can start saving money because it's not going to come cheap. Early speculations suggest a selling price of about $780. The phone would start shipping with all three South Korean data carriers, starting this February. Release date of the unlocked version is not available yet. Also, there's no information just yet whether this New Pantech Smartphone would see light globally.
Samsung was the first one to jump into the mobile market with a phablet (Galaxy Note), but now almost all the companies are trying their luck in this micro-segment, because it is a gold mine. A recently published report by iSuppli predicts that sales of large display Smartphones would double by 2013. More large screen phones are to come this year, and third-gen Note is the top dog.

Dear Jason Leopold, and David Swanson - Hello, and thank you for keeping the plebeians informed on what's going on in the impeachment and other arenas. You might find the following article of interest, and perhaps you might bring it to the notable Congressman's attention if you deem it appropriate. While I understand that even the impeachment may not get anywhere, but just as the issue is still forcibly being put on the Congressional record, I believe, similarly, the full issue must also be put on the table - at least for the record. Thanks very much for all your persistent efforts in doing what's right, and your writings to keep the ordinary peoples (like me) updated. Kind Regards, Zahir Ebrahim.Let the people not forget, amidst all this hoopla and excitement over the 35 Articles of Impeachment against George W. Bush, the two-term 43rd President of the mighty superpower United States of America, that:
1) A new set of monumental criminals are ready and waiting in the wings.
2) Who will re-instate the devastated tabula rasa of innocent nations? Who will bring sanity back to the lives of the barely living who have seen DU and Daisy Cutters rained down upon their loved ones? Who will pay them fair and just compensation for their cataclysmic loss, pain and suffering?
And those today waiting in the wings have each indicated their desire to nuclear decimate Iran. Pakistan can't be too far behind judging from the continuous mantras of "loose nukes" and "terrorists" emanating at an accelerated pace from its mightiest think-tanks.
3) Therefore, unless you kill the DNA, this round of 'Roundup' is only going to temporarily do away with this crop of deadly blood-sucking weeds!
4) And while for the Americans, it has taken some 4000 to 10000 dead, some say considerably more if the paid mercenaries of the private armies are counted, plus the 3000 innocent who died on 911 under the rubble of controlled demolition, the innocent dead in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the poisoning of their habitat and their DNA with DU for all future times, has taken at least three to four orders of magnitude greater toll today, and forever mounting in the future.
As part of atonement that barely even reaches the level of sincerity that a victim can even begin to accept, first in principle, and then in execution, full restitution and compensation for all this pain and suffering must equally be on the table!
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
Otherwise, perhaps this impeachment exercise may fool the American public about the famed American democracy in action – it fools no one else!
Least of all the victims – from Cambodia to Iraq, and heavens forbid, now Iran and Pakistan. The impeachment of Nixon did as much for Laos and Vietnam, as impeachment of Bush will do for Iraq and Afghanistan.
5) A bunch of Zionofascist criminals can so easily hijack a superpower nation with a 'legal' coup d'etat that isn't even recognized as such – something more than just impeachment is necessary!
The system is not only broken, it was crippled at birth – for it is so easily hijackable – from Wounded Knee to Iran, with new "Pearl Harbors" cleverly used for "imperial mobilization" from the USS Maine to 911 to the new nookular '911' that President Bush keeps warning the Americans and the world about in these ominous words as late as February 13, 2008: "Good morning [America]. At this moment, somewhere in the world, terrorists are planning new attacks on our country. Their goal is to bring destruction to our shores that will make September the 11th pale by comparison." See Project Humanbeingsfirst's Press Releases of May 11, 2008, and June 12, 2008, and its underlying fundamentals in "From Balance of Terror to Unilateral Terror on the Grand Chessboard!"
Unless recognition of all of these afore-stated points is driven home as part of this 'spraying of Roundup' on this crop of monumental criminals, new set of killer-weeds lie just beneath the surface to carry on with the imperative of spreading the imperial virus of "primacy and its geostrategic imperatives".
It is one continuous predatory imperative, from the Truman Doctrine, to the Carter Doctrine, to the Reagan Doctrine, and now to the Bush Doctrine. What did impeachment of Richard Nixon ever accomplish or deter, never mind restore to America's millions of untold and unaccounted victims in Asia and South America?
Unless the mainstream embedded newsmedia, the embedded think-tankers and policy planners, the embedded oped-writers, the embedded NYT to WP editorial chain, the embedded ABC to FOX news chain, and the 'ubermensch' masterminds from William Kristol to all the PNAC participants to Donald Rumsfeld to Dick Cheney to Zbigniew Brzezinski to Henry Kissinger to Paul Wolfowitz et. al., are equally consigned to Guantanamo Bay, all of their considerable wealth and fortunes and trusts confiscated, and the monumental criminals of humanity among them – as determined in trials similar to the one accorded to Eichmann in Jerusalem by his surviving victims and their traumatized families – are given full 'enemy combatant' protocol, America's democracy is only the Godfather's democracy!
The sons quietly takes over from the forcibly retired godfather, but with the full team intact, with all the financiers, power-brokers, policy-makers, and puppetmasters still closely holding the strings, the newsmedia still ready to toot their mantras, and all ready to go back into the global business of "full spectrum dominance" to construct the "new world order"< of "one world government"< after re-constituting the front faces of their family!
With that reluctant re-facing as the last fallback option of the hectoring hegemons, please mark these humble words: before this Administration is ever impeached, the grotesque reality which has been so systematically and painstakingly put in place over the past seven years, will surely see the COG machinery running this country! Before anyone can become a real threat to this status quo, and if the threat cannot be deflected someway, and no sacrificial lamb can be burnt at stake to soothe the anger of the plebeians now seeking blood, the key harbingers of such a threat will be made to "sleep with the fishes"!
All it takes is to make an offer that one cannot refuse – and the matters will end up right back on the treadmill of dog and pony show, much like the Iran-Contra riveting television entertainment that was enjoyed all over America better than any Dan Brown novel ever will be!
Having said all that – which of course ought not come as a surprise to anyone except the most Polyanish – kudos to the immensely courageous David Swanson and the untiring persistent efforts of all those who are still endeavoring to 'spray this crop of weeds'! A very special kudos to the conscionable Congressman from Ohio who is still able to muster the Chutzpah to attempt impeachment – knowing fully well that it will go absolutely nowhere! But at least it gets documented in the official paperwork of the Congress – for whatever that's really worth. A respite, however brief, is arguably still better than none!
And having also said that, the Articles of Impeachment introduced by the good Congressman from Ohio cannot absolve the United States Congress itself of its own culpability and equal willing participation in the supreme monumental crime of "imperial mobilization".
One given to reflection and study well understands how the American peoples are continually fooled, indoctrinated, and managed. One need only read the following Project Humanbeingsfirst report "Weapons of Mass Deception – The Master Social Science" to get a good understanding of both "Manufacturing Consent" and "Manufacturing Dissent" among the larger plebeian Western society by its ruling elite. The Congress however, comprises the ruling elite. They are generally the third category of peoples identified by Hitler, as those able to think critically who are purposefully trained in the ways of empire, or co-opted to join and participate in the running of 'empire' with the allure of its riches. The Congress isn't "the crowd of simpletons and the credulous" of the American masses.<
Therefore, it is more than slightly disingenuous to lump the fabricated 'misleading' of the Congress with the genuine misleading of the American public. The Congress wasn't misled – unless it comprises only full spectrum C grade morons from Yale, an arguable premise which I refuse to accept – it was, and still is, just as complicit in every single supreme crime that the Congressfolks now solely apportion to their leader.
From the very control of the purse strings that funds the war-mongering, to the passing of oppressive laws and unchallenged acceptance of Executive Orders that now enables the police-state, to the granting of carte-blanche to bomb Afghanistan and Iraq to smithereens – the Congress willingly did it all! If an ordinary plebeian like this scribe can narrate it all in his 2003 book as the DU bombs on Iraq were falling, and can take a bold stand at his own front door and say NO< to the State's security apparatus, it takes Congress another 5 years to come to that conclusion, ex post facto – when all the faits accomplis have already been constructed and the "Mission [truly] Accomplished"
Either this scribe is so ingeniously smart that he knew it all, in which case he and half a million other ordinary peoples in America who said NO< to George W. Bush from 2001-2002 onwards until today at considerable risks to themselves, should be the Congress – the new Peoples' Congress. Or the House and Senate are equally complicit in the aiding and abetting of supreme crimes against humanity. They could well have said NO when ordinary peoples in America dared to say NO! <Look at this picture of a 10 year old saying NO in February 2003 along with tens of thousands of ordinary Americans!
The Articles of Impeachment that the honorable Congressman from Ohio imputes solely to his President, equally apply to impeaching every single Congressman and Congresswomen, except, to this scribe's humble knowledge, Congresswoman Barbara Lee for her uncommonly courageous solo stand on the very first imperial mobilization to Afghanistan immediately after 911 – when she alone stood up to boldly say NO
That first enabling seed, that green light to bomb Afghanistan and the passing of Patriot Acts without even reading them, enabled it all. And the blame, as per the precedent set at Nuremberg – all culpability for aggression, and "all the evil that follows"<, is to the first aggression and to its enablers – rests jointly with the nation of United States of America and its entire ruling elite who together railroaded "the crowd of simpletons and the credulous" of the American masses no differently than Hitler after his "Operation Canned Goods".
It is further remarkable that none of the Articles of Impeachment introduced by the Honorable Congressman from Ohio even suggest a controlled demolition on 911, or that it could have been an inside job and another 'operation canned goods' as no other rational explanation suffices. The Articles continue to mimic the same premise as untenably asserted by both the White House and the Pentagon from the very day of 911, that it was an invasion from abroad, rather than perhaps an insidious coup from within.
What kind of clever wool pulling is this Impeachment game which isn't even all that clever? I suppose the audience for it is exclusively the American public!
No offense is intended to the honorable Congressman from Ohio in this scribe 'calling a spade a spade'! Once again, Project Humanbeingsfirst humbly thanks even this brief respite if it can be effectively afforded to the miserable victims, playing whatever games necessary as permitted in the existing system!
Just don't let it fool anyone that it amounts to anything more than what it really is.
Thank you.
