I was more looking at seeing if anyone would take a stab at going L to R
in terms of the names to the faces
BTW: Dillon Campbell looks bigger than Ryan Burton....

My favorite Alaska pic
This was from one of my reunions up there. We had 50 of us together for 5 days up there.
About 9 of us went up to Gold Star Peak and climbed 4,000 feet in 3 hours with packs. It was a beast of a climb that last 300-400'

His tactics are definitely questionable. I thought it would be a total
battle for possession by the Dutch and Moroccans but the Dutch just gave possession tactically and played like the Aussies.

I have to say that this is the best tournament that I have seen
I watch the Euros and haven't missed a World Cup since I was a kid (was in Qatar 4 years ago). This has been a fantastic tournament so far and we are just starting the knockouts.

I am a big fan of Thierry Henry
I wish we would dump Lalas. I do love Stu Holden on the American side.

On that overturned goal in ET, in the EPL, that would have stood
But the fact that the keep did go down probably sold that especially since that is the direction he was trying to go towards to defend that angle.

The locals in CZ like to go wild boar hunting...it's a hoot.
But this place in Montenegro is nice in the summer...
You will thank me later if you visit.

You need to try Montenegro....
Very cheap, great food and fine, they love Americans and the views are better than Italy. Of the European countries of the "old Ottoman", that is my favorite.
For the Asia countries, I love Lebanon and Georgia.
For the African countries, I love Algeria.

My great great grandmother was born in the Ottoman Empire
She was born in Jerusalem but during that time, it was known as Syria. By the time the Ottomans arrived in 1516, the region had already been called βSyriaβ by:
Greeks
Romans
Byzantines
Crusaders from Europe
Arab geographers (as BilΔd alβShΔm)
So they kept the name that pre-dated the Ottomans by 2000 years. That being said, she was technically born in Jerusalem in 1847 so in reality, Jerusalem was was placed under direct rule from Istanbul after the Egyptian occupation (1831β1840) and rising European involvement in the Holy Land.
