Nate Silver has updated his model for the World Cup.

He's showing the USA with a 41% chance to make the quarterfinals, 11% chance to make the semifinals, 4% chance to make the finals, and less than 1% of winning the World Cup.

When Did Nazi Insults Spike On Twitter During USA-Germany?

Oh come on now. Ref raised his left hand plus sideways direction. Kinda like jumping jack. Nazi salutes ALWAYS on the right hand raise and forward direction. Third Reich still alive ?

. If so, I need to trade-in my Mercedes SLS AMG and wife's convertible BMW Z4.

My car (I wish)

Plus that ref isn't even German

Be prepared soggy and muggy weather in Salvador. 23 out of 30 average precipitation days (June). Humidity .... 82%; more than sticky Florida.

Domed stadium? (unlikely)

Chile is giving Brazil a fight so far. It is tied 1-1.

Holy sh#t @ this game. Both defenses have appeared shaky, there have been some great runs and a lot of insane action.

Neymar is a bat out of hell.
