1. ""The photo left many people questioning"

"why a team that had barely made it out of the first round of the World Cup were partying and celebrating when they should have been preparing for their next game."

6. That was the quote I was going to post, they are not TO BREATHE after a win and go DIRECTLY

2. Of course he didn't...but his penis did..n/t

3. Well, "some people" are saying that

So it must be dutifully reported, no matter how preposterous. It's fun and inventive! Watch this:

Let's see how that goes through the internets.

If that were the case they need to get used to celebrities watching.

5. Yeah, a team that had held a lead for all of 3 minutes in the entire tourney

was sidetracked by the Clenis. A mighty, Mighty, Clenis.....Is there nothing it is not capable of?
