Such a shame that LeBron is a coward and chose to play for a team where he'd be carried by the greatest player of all time, Lonzo Ball.

Ya Bron is definitely carrying the load on that team. Probably the worst team he has been on since the 1st go round with the Cavs.

But people hate the Lakers and they for some reason hate Lebron.

They are definitely hate him now. Espeacially if he has them make trades to bring in big names.

I understood the hate for Durant, but this just seems so childish. People hate LeBron because he's great. Not because he's a bad guy outside of the game, not even because of his behavior in the game. He's just the best, by far. He's probably the best ever. That's no reason to hate someone.

The best players normally get alot of hate out of the gate from fans of other teams the player isnt on.

Then hate from fans of other great players like Jordan and Kobe.

Then when he went to make the super team in Miami he got labeled as a deserter and not being able to win it on his own. Although no one does in a team sport. Not even Jordan.

Now one of the most hated teams in the NBA has him.

But I do agree it's all nonsense.

Cousins signing with the Warriors.

That is insanity. Just give them the title for next yr too.

The NBA also needs another lockout

Right, was on place in office at 6.30am this morning to get out in time. Had to channel my inner Colin McRae in traffic but we're here, I'm getting drunk, Berg still couldn't hit a dam barndoor in front of him and we're in the lead.

Woho!

Man Columbia reminds me of the Bengals: some really talented players but they have zero mental composure when the slightest thing goes wrong.

This entire match is gross. Both teams are prioritizing thuggery and playacting over good football. The ref has been dire, he's never attempted to control the game and he seems to have gotten a disproportionate number of calls wrong that have hurt Colombia, but there's no excuse for this kind of garbage in an otherwise stellar World Cup. It's unfortunate that one of these teams will advance, shame on them both.

Historically, the worse Sweden play, the better their results. They narrowly squeaked by Greater Albania due to a nothing shot that took an unfortunate deflection, so they'll be a formidable opponent.

Do you think the guy that missed will want to go back to Columbia? Didn’t work out too good for the last guy that screwed up. ;)

Cards and fines need to be handed out to divers, I don't care if it takes video review after the match to sort it out. It's absolutely ridiculous and makes the game less enjoyable. Get it out of the game.

As sad as Andres Escobar's murder was, his own goal played an incidental role at best. What happened was a narco harassed him about it in a club and he was prideful (read: stupid) enough to respond to the provocation. That's why he was murdered. The media then chose to sensationalize it as a hit in response to his own goal when, in reality, it was more an unfortunate symptom of the general lawlessness in Colombia at the time.
