The Iberian match is pretty good so far!

Smells like penalties.

Last time I said this Uruguay scored right after, so... fingers crossed!


Edit: Didn't work this time... penalties it is!


Wow that's some really cold-blooded PK. Congrats Paraguay!

It's on.

Not that good result from me, but actually went up one position.

Quote from Kalev EST :

Brazil was very good. Very good tactics as well. It was interesting seeing Brazil playing defensively and for counter attacks but it worked very well.

Props for Chile for fighting 'till the end. They never stopped trying, even when it was clear the game was over. Loved how the coach was angerily screaming "vamos" on the 87th minute.

That's how we've been playing for quite some time now. Strong defense and fast counter attacking.
Whenever we play against a defensive team, we struggle. But against offensive teams (which tend to have weaker defenses), it's all great.

I don't like it, to be honest.

About the second part: Chile always fights, it's a pleasure. Good game.

Not a bad first half...

Looks like those yellow cars are complicating things for Chile.

Holland still not convincing, but still advancing.

Hopefully their next match will be against us.

Quote from zeugnimod :

But "exploiting" the offside rule is a big part of good defensive playing. And how is that "not playing a clean game"?

My thoughts exactly.

Quote from Mackie The Staggie :

stuff about refereeing mistakes

I agree on all those points, Mackie.
Maybe I exaggerated the way I said it... It's just that I thought England's goal was clear without any replays, and the position of the side line referee was pretty good to notice it. Maybe he wasn't looking there, we'll never know heh.


Edit: Holland scores! Nice goal.

What a pass by Sneijder, just perfect.


Edit 2: Is it just me or Robben looks a lot like Officer Alex Murphy (Robocop)?

Yeah, in my opinion there's no place in football for judging actions that require the game to stop. Would be a pain to watch.

I guess that extra referee around the goal would be enough. But honestly those mistakes we're seeing are so awful it's hard to believe they didn't see it. Maybe they're just that bad.

What a start.

Looking forward to this game!


E:

Jesus another mighty mistake by the refs!

Aw it should have ended 4x2.

Great match though, Müller seems pretty good!

The UEFA Europa League, if I'm not mistaken.

How the hell the ref didn't see that ball going in?!

WTF...

Great game though!

Another one!

Quote from Boris Lozac :

Omg.. i give up.

Thanks for that! I wish others could do the same...


Just to post something on topic, I'm quite impressed by USA's team. Played well, fought every time until the last minute, and just as important, CLEANLY.
We've seem plenty of times (in this World Cup, no less) how easy it is to lose it and try to solve things the wrong way. To think your opponent isn't worth it. Even with all the problems with bad refereeing and all.

You guys should be proud.

Good fight, US. You have spirit.

But Ghana played well and scored when they had to.

Yay!

Chile will lost a few players for the next game. Things are looking good for us, but I hope they tough up the game.

The Iberian match looks interesting as well.

Damn, another fine goal for Spain!

And a red card! Things are looking ugly for the Chileans.

Edit: hopefully Switzerland won't win... Absolutely nothing against them, but I'd take Chile's offensive football over the boring swiss anytime.
