Do Americans Need to Panic?
 

With The bombing in Glasgow, and the defused bombs in London. So should Americans be worried about this?

The major news networks will make sure we do.

No, because "they" can't come over there in their dangerous cars.

No, seriously, there's no need to panic because that's the main goal of terroristic acts, put the people on a constant fear. And it makes everything more difficult. Stay vigilant, don't panic.

Do you work for Fox News?

No, they rejected me. Fu*kers. I'm a freelancer.

That was directed at SyntheticalY. It's just so easy to imagine the title post being said by Shepard Smith or Hannity and Colmes.

Ah! I thought you were talking 'bout my quite-predictable second post.

You mean, you haven't been panicking yet?

I'm completely at a yellow level now.

As long as Paris Hilton remains the most important news item there's nothing to worry about.

Actually, there has been much less Paris in light of the events in London and Glasgow.

American soccer fans should panic about their chances in Copa America.

Maybe some Americans in particular, i.e. Paris Hilton, should start worrying then!

I only watched part of the first half of Argentina - USA in Copa America. USA looked comfortable in the first 45 minutes so I was surprised to read later that they eventually went down 4-1 in the second half. No shame in losing to Argentina though, who are surely the best team and favourites for the cup. I could easily see them mess up somewhere along the way though, just like they did in the 2006 world cup.

Its the same story for the US on the world stage once again.

To be fair this is a B-squad if that makes sense. A lot of top players (like Landon Donovan) have opted out of this tournament to play with their clubs, which are in mid season right now, considering they've missed a good month already fresh off the Gold Cup. Keller in goal is a complete liability, and it showed against Argentina. I was hoping all European based players would take part in this (as they make up the bulk of our backline) but I suppose they deserve a break.

Keller had some good saves indeed. The fact that the tournament is so soon after the Gold Cup is a big disadvantage for USA and Mexico too.

With messing up I was referring to Argentina, who were in my opinion the best team in the 2006 World Cup but then let the title slip from their hands very easily with a poor performance against Germany in the quarterfinal.


ah, but we're getting off topic now.

ZOMG GET YR TOWELS!!!!!

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to pbradley again.

i'm not worried.

fuck, i hate seeing soldiers at the subway stations.

But isn't Mexico on some sort of lockdown, because of the drug cartel crap. If you ask me that should be at the borders and coasts.
