The result is tragic. But, from everyone at the game, it is a fair result. Which is even more tragic. This is not the team I watched at the World Cup. That coach left, we got an Italian coach with no experience with the Greek league or players. Who wanted to change everything and put his stamp. Every game has been a disaster even bigger than the previous one! The captain kept saying “something must change”. He meant the coach must go, he has pissed everyone off and confused even himself! But the big minds in the national federation gave him a big contract so letting him go gets them on the hook for many millions. He said “I am not resigning”…tranlating—-> Pay me my money to go away. OMG what a fiasco! This is like Appalachian State beating MIchigan in the Big House but 10 times worse. I did not watch the game because that would make me really angry…

From the top (one PK away from reaching the Final 8 in the World Cup) to losing to Faroe Islands at home (and they should have had more goals!). Unbelievable!

George is getting a little angry!!!

Hitting Gold in SPG, I think of it, as number of trips to certain shopping establishments 🙂

“botching the execution” – you nailed it!

Thanks for the support. I am not angry 🙂

Oh Lamar you used to be one of my favorite players showing up in one game out of 20. Showed so much potential every 20 games but I guess smoking pot was too good. Enjoy Khloe lol

I have a feeling there may be a comprehensive deal with Iran that will open up travel/tourism between the two countries. Iran’s economy is hurting big time and they need to make a deal. Or maybe it is wishful thinking by me. I had an Iranian roommate in college and friends. They are very hard working and smart and they all absolutely can’t stand the mullahs!

Thanks for the support. Still hoping to make a darn cc sale. Whoever said it takes a long time for the system to register it sure was not kidding!

I met my last IHG Big Win thresholds and am about to complete Into the Nights. Sure, they sort of botched the execution of the promo, but my second and current offer has a lower bar (three Holiday Inn nights) than the original offer which I probably wouldn’t have completed. IHG has been good to me… I prefer SPG overall but there aren’t enough properties and the IHG promos keep me coming back. I also was lucky enough to use some PointsBreaks nights this year, which I don’t typically plan on being able to do.

Between a couple successful BRG claims, generous promos, and lots of properties, I will remain IHG Plat (okay, I have the cheap card that includes Plat status LOL) but would normally have hit SPG Gold by now. It MIGHT still happen (thanks to award nights counting toward status) but definitely not a sure thing.

Heads up Buzz – just bought 4 Amazon Local restaurant deals through your link. Wasn’t sure it would work for Amazon Local but seemed to work just fine.
