Cote d'or is especially good, not 'just' dark chocolate. And fortunately for me, not so easy to locate! If it were, I'd eat MUCH too much of it!

As long as he's exempt from this bashing thread, I'm all for it.

(I realize he's fictional but still, he seems almost like a real person!)

Belgium has the best roads in Europe, and some of the worst drivers. Despite being courteous, polite and helpful in pretty much any other social situation, behind the wheel they are aggressive, raging maniacs. And Priorite a droite (cars entering from the right always have the right-of-way, unless they don't but you won't be able to tell until you are almost right upon the intersection) is some ridiculous archaic bullshit that doesn't seem to be going away anytime soon.

We made the valiant effort, but they outplayed us from start to finish.
If not for our goalie, it would have been much worse.
Team USA has nothing to be ashamed about.

Belgium was definitely the better team today, and they could have easily won 2-0 or 3-0 in regulation if it wasn't for Tim Howard.

There was a stretch in the first half for maybe 15-20 minutes where I thought the US could match Belgium if they kept it up, but for the other 70-75 minutes of regulation, it was almost all Belgium.

Too many good things about them ( as seen above ) and I hate sports, all the more so when it comes to nationalism.
