You do realize of course that Army Values, which you quote, combine for a bastardized version of leadership right?

As requested here is my picture of me and a Belgian beer.  Now it is up to the rest of you guys.

[Phidippides]

Yes, I just opened mine up.  It's a bigger bottle so I won't be drinking it all at once.  I found one of the beers Aeth mentioned in this thread, but it was $15 for a 4-pack, so I opted for a less-expensive option.  Down the hatch! Oh, and even though Belgium is out of the tournament now, congrats again to Aeth.  It would be have been nice to see a Belgium-Netherlands match!

[Phidippides]

By the way, scout, what kind of beer is that you're holding?  Mine is called “Corsendonk”.

[scout1067]

Mine is an abbey beer called Abbaye-Abdij Val-Dieu it is a beer we picked up in March when we were in Belgium.  We got a six pak of various beers from that abbey and that is the last one I have left, at least until my next trip.

You mean LDRSHIP ? Yes I did

Well, next time maybe  :-[

[Aetheling]

Congrats guys !  Val Dieu and Corsendonk : a choice of taste!  Too bad the World Cup is held every four years only  😉

[Phidippides]

Wow!  With the drubbing Brazil received today, suddenly that 1-0 U.S. loss to Germany doesn't seem quite so bad!

[Phidippides]

So, Germany vs. Argentina in the final!  Have to ask – who would Hitler be rooting for from his secret Argentinian bungalow?Oh, and it seems it may be a papal clash with Pope Emeritus homeland vs. Pope homeland! 

[scout1067]

I predict Germany will win the final 3-1.

[Aetheling]

As sung in the official lied:  Deutschland über alles!  My bet: 2-1 (if not, you must all wear this ...)  😛btw Ski : Oranje performed very well !

[Phidippides]

I will have to stick with my prediction that a South American team will win, so I will have to go with Argentina.Yes, congrats to Oranje!
