Weird thread title for the question you asked, especially since the more entertaining of the 2014 World Cups starts this week. Can't wait to watch the US roll up some people!  :kstatriot:

USA up 42 at half.  Finland didn't make a field goal in the 2nd quarter.

It's a bit more intense when their rugby team does it. And in hindsight our guys were a bunch of cowards...good thing we won :D

Omg. Yes. I wish meeting toe to toe at half court or midfield happened more often pregame in sports. Adds such drama.

damn, that's pretty cool. Props to the kiwis for actually honoring/embracing their native culture.

Similar embrace of native culture:

So Badass!!  It seems that the Kiwi's are some kind of warrior super race.  They fought the British army to a standstill, spears against rifles.

Also love the nickname for the basketball team, Tall Blacks (the rugby team is called the All Blacks btw).
