Something to remember when dating black men in Philly: Make absolultely sure they do NOT have children because even if they are 21 and single they often still have one or two "accidents" hanging around.

UKRAINE WON! THE CRAZIEST GAME EVER!!! 0:0 tie all through the game and through all 30 minutes of the overtime (almost never do you see overtime go that long in futball!) and then 3 penalty goals Ukraine and no goals Switzarland!
