"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Man...someone else musta saw the Ecuador game. they were looking hella clean. Their possession football was on point. That game woulda been a blow out but they had so much lost possession in the attacking third after stringing 5+ great passes. Other than that it was great one touch football that reminded me of the brazillians, and many breathtaking defense stops. I can see them causing quite a ruckus in the tourney.
Oh and Lahm's goal didnt hold a flame to the rocket of a shot that Fring put in... You could see him teeing it up and went to hit the ball in the sweet spot but i thought it would just be deflected or misfired as usual

I saw the Ecuador game. I am from and living in ecuador right now. It was a beautiful game. your comments are good. I hope brazil loses though. I am sick of them winning almost every year. It is time for a new champ(Ecuador, just kidding).Microphone Fiend said:
Yeah, DAMN, what strikes by Lahm and Frings!
What an opening game to the tournament!
Ecuador looked good, Id rather seem a more flamboyant team such as Ecuador go through in preference to a systematical Poland! Ecuador looked good in qualifying, hopefully they can hold their form throughout the tournament! Would be good to see them go far!
England V Paraguay in several hours, doubt Paraguay can win, but I can see them holding out a draw. And I think its Argentina V Ivory Coast, that should produce some exciting football!

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Santa Cruz out injured. Fully fit England Squad......Anything but a win is unacceptable
Well I just made a few bets, Owen to be the first goalscorer against Paraguay. A 2-0 England win, and a win later on for Argentina over Ivory Coast by 2-1 (I expect Drogba to get a goal for the IC).
Ha ha, hopefully I get at least one of the bets up!

Has anyone seen the new Headpieces the Referees wear?
Does anyone KNOW what they are for?

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

well I gotta say, on England's showing today, had they been playing a better team they'd've got slaughtered.
liked the look of Germany though. Costa Rica aren't a bad side at all.

Well picked the Argentina V Ivory coast result, but missed the England one! Damn, IC are pretty good, they deserved a draw against Argentina! Drogba is the man! Looks so dangerous, both on the ground and in the air!
IC plays a fast, entertaining game of football!
Netherlands to beat Serbia and Montenegro tonight, will be interesting to see how their D can shut down Robben and Ruud.

Portugal is soon to play.
How in the world is Ricardo Quaresma NOT on the Portugal team in WC 2006?

Holland - Serbia & Montenegro
1-0
Van der Sar and Robben played a great match.
The defense isn't that solid though. Ruud didn't do that well either. But we had a lot of ball possesion and won even with a German guy as referee
Holland's gonna win this one!!

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

American player should have trained more than making nike commercials.
Oh well, at least they looked cool before they played.

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
