They need to get another goal in the next 3 minutes (or more if there's Repo time) to tie in.

Indeed. BiH played sloppy at times, showed some fight at others. Was an interesting game to watch. Good game over all, congratulations to Argentina.

Yep, Argentina did good.

Bosnia and Herzegovina did really good for being newcomers to FIFA though against Argentina.

Science, dear boy. It's not a game.


Well that's sort of funny because "there isn't" an exact answer on that very subject, many believe it was the product of differing portions of our little species adapting to different living environments after evolving a bit from the cradle, adaption to our specific habits i guess. And as such given blood types, or at least the genes responsible for them, are inherited. It all comes down to Genes, adaption to illness, location and etc.

And given we have already been capable of "crafting" fake synthetic blood for usage in transplants, It only makes sense to take it a step further and actually create a natural replicate of blood with ALL expressed traits of ALL blood types, if for nothing else to see how it reacts inside a organism. The process like any engineering exercise would likely be long, full of miscalculations and mistakes, but if it bore fruit? We would never be denied blood transfusion on the basis of donor, such a concept would cease to exist.

It's not a simple matter of deleting what you don't want. Genetics ain't quite that simple in most cases, especially not in humans.

Good.

It's merely the product that enables you to live.

I'm completely aware of that. I just faint around it. I'm hoping to get over it by contact therapy, I think that's what it's called.

Quite possibly. It's a real tough group. That being said, there's always a chance we could sneak out of Group G and into the Round of 16.

Germany is very beatable. Lots of new faces on their team with a few veterans from 2010. Should be interesting to see how they do against Portugal tomorrow.

Oh, I've seen it. Everyone has. Purely for the 13 inch penis, good storyline and quality acting by the other cast members.

Germany, Portugal, Ghana, and the U.S. are in what's been categorized as the "Group of Death" in this particular World Cup; so tomorrow will be a really interesting day in Brazil.

I think he has potential for becoming the next Charlie Sheen.

Just playing himself in every movie or TV series, or a dude named "Mark".

Yes it should. I am not a huge soccer fan, and am a bit lacking on the soccer lingo, but I like the game. But, yeah, they're rough.

I will always root for the USA in the World Cup. But, when/if they get knocked out, I switch to supporting Italia.

Of course not, but the technology exists, we have an abundance of population to test theories and techniques. As i said it would likely take time, money and many subjects, but i have no doubt it could done, after all we are merely adapting what is already there through modification, we are not creating anything new.

It's just evolution, just directed at the whim of man and not nature.

Indeed. But, really, with the exception of people like Messi, you're only as good as the team surrounding you.
