Wow, massive drama. Paraguay got lucky. GK took out Fabregas on the PK rebound but ref didn't see it. Should have been another penalty.

Lmao...Seriously, still not gonna watch, the drama of Uruguay and Ghana was enough for me

Is it me or have PKs been terribly taken this tournament? Makes for great drama though.

Wow, crazy last ten minutes. Pretty well done by the referee I think, although a red should have been given to the Paraguay defender. Good no call on the keeper after the PK save, imo. He was going for the ball and Fabregas took a dive.

Yeah I couldn't believe it myself. That was a MAJOR blown call. :/

....or me to come back from errands and turn it on just as the 2nd half started. :awe:

You didn't swear you are leaving

Tough to say whether he dived or not, but Fabregas definitely got to the ball first and the GK then hit his legs. Without being there, I'm not sure how hard he hit the guy's legs.

On the other hand, they just showed the Paraguay PK again and Spain was clearly encroaching in the box there so Paraguay should have had another shot at it.

I guess it evens out.

The Spanish keeper was a step off the line on that PK as well, but I don't think they usually call that. But yeah, evens out enough I suppose.

 

[sdifox]

missed chance for Spain

 

[sdifox]

shoulder to shoulder!

*If he'd scored, they'd keep the goal. If not they could allow a re-kick. They mostly score anyway.....mostly.

* In PK scenarios where only the keeper encroaches before the kick.

 

[sdifox]

good goal

 

[Dominato3r]

Hehehe

 

[HybridSquirrel]

[Gooberlx2]

[JHoNNy1OoO]

Yeah! SPAIN BABY!!! VILLA!!!!!!!

 

[rcpratt]

Wow, did that goal hit both posts?

 

[Dominato3r]

Wow, did that goal hit both posts?

Yes.

Im loving these trollsy goals and games

 

[Fingolfin269]

Ha wow talk about a pinball goal.

 

[a123456]

That goal was crazy. Spain was trying their best to miss. Hit the post 3 times on that scoring chance. Haha. Villa has been amazing. Totally worth the 47M if he plays like that for Barcelona.

 

[Gooberlx2]

Ha wow talk about a pinball goal.

They racked up 5000 points for that one. :biggrin:

 

[rcpratt]

Wow. Terrible rebound given up there by the Spanish keeper, but great recovery.
