So who is God supporting on Sunday?

[NightWatcher]

1. Sunday was supposed to be his day off, yet that's when people bug him for stupid shit the most

[KamaAina]

3. You got that right

[NightWatcher]

4. HA! that's great

[geardaddy]

6. Love it.

2. The Holy Trinity is of three minds about Sunday

They're now deciding whether to do a coin toss or Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock to settle it.

11. ...

You made me lightly snort.

Actually, they're getting ready for training camp...for real football.

5. I think he must have been asleep yesterday

He was supposed to be supporting Nederland.

7. Huh?

Has there ever been a Dutch pope?

[geardaddy]

9. Actually yes.

Pope Adrian VI

8. Interesting matchup

The country that murdered Jews (and just beat the country that saved Jews) vs. the country that hid Nazis.

10. Ricky Gervais beat you to it

after Tuesday's match.

"This won't be the first time that thousands of Germans will have to lie low in Brazil for a while for their own safety."



edit: Nederland was hardly the only country that saved Jews. Remember, they got Anne Frank in the end. You must have heard the classic tale from Denmark; when the Nazis ordered Jews to wear yellow Stars of David, everyone wore them, rendering them useless. (Of course, they didn't even qualify. )

12. I think you might be responding the wrong post.

I didn't claim the Netherlands as some sort of haven for Jewish people during WWII. I just wanted to see them again in the final.

On edit: I love me some Ricky Gervais.

[KamaAina]

13. No, you said Germany "just beat the country that saved Jews".

As long as we're talking Nazis here, I'll be a grammar one: it should have read "a country that saved Jews".

And, seeing as how I have a great-great-grandfather named van Schaick, I, too, would have liked seeing Nederland in the final.

[geardaddy]

14. That wasn't me.

That was HERVEPA

[KamaAina]

15. Oh, right.

But I was responding to it, not your OP.

[geardaddy]

16. You are correct.

Sorry for the mix-up.

[HERVEPA]

18. Of course. Grammar error. I know people in many countries did, especially Denmark.

Check out this great song on the subject.

17. God doesn't give a minion's ass

about soccer.


NASCAR always has the best prayers, so that's where he's at.


Yeah, I know. It sucks that God plays favorites, but that's the way it goes.
