Re: Copa America
Brazil are so useless without Neymar. He was marked out of the game by Colombia then he got frustrated and got sent off. Probably will be a 2 match ban.
Brazil will go out early again and make excuses that they didn't have Neymar again.
I hate what Brazil has become. Heads in the sand.

It is true some days the 1st will be a Par 5 and other days the 18th will be a Par 5?

Re: Tax Dollars At Work
it's 1 million unsold.
Torontonians should just go. They're never going to get the Olympics so if there something a person has always wanted to see live, just go. I've never seen Swimming, I'd could easily watch an evening session.
But that's me, I like a lot of goofy sports.
