Spain is disgraceful the way they're diving all over the place. They're not even playing a team that really poses them any threat. I hope someone gets hurt in the act of diving.

 

[sdifox]

Spanish coach is going to be livid in the dressing room.

 

[RichardBrittain]

Go England!

Go England!

Go Green! :awe:

They need to do something about the diving at this level. It's completely out of control. For every guy that dives and the ref doesn't give him the call, that needs to be a yellow. Especially if its in the box, trying to draw a PK.

All of the top european teams are flopping all over the place. It's probably fairly obvious I'm a fan of Italy, and I'm not excluding them from this criticism.

In other news, the House of Lords has re-instated hanging and the first person to be hanged is former England goalie Robert Green. No reason was given. When asked what is the offence to warrant such harsh sentence the reply from the house was "What do you mean offence?"

 

[RichardBrittain]

Haha. Nice. I would've chosen David James personally. Green isn't a top goalkeeper anyway, but he was always considered a 'safe pair of hands'. So much for that.

 

[KeithTalent]

OMFG.

Reportedly USA paid off the model girlfriend of Green to break up with him.

 

[sjwaste]

Ahahaha eat shit you diving bastards.

 

[KeithTalent]

Swiss play like the fucking New Jersey Devils. :thumbsdown:

[sdifox]

Maybe this will wake Spain up.

The Spanish are diving so much, Evgeni Malkin even thinks thats not cool.

The Swiss should just play with their elbows up. Spain's going to get a whistle on every dive, might as well make them earn it.

 

[KeithTalent]

Ahahaha eat shit you diving bastards.

Fuck that, you see the Swiss guy just rolling around clutching his chest after no foul, he just knew Iniesta had beaten him? Pathetic.

Bullshit, they've been mugging Iniesta all game.

I did. I would've carded that, too. But my post was before that play

If they're both going to play that kind of game, I'd still rather see the Swiss win. Would be interesting to see Spain at the bottom of their group to see how they recover from that. Chile already won, so Switzerland getting 3 points here would actually make things interesting.

Diving and vuvuzelas do make this game borderline unwatchable though.

 

[sjwaste]

Wow. That was a nice play by the keeper. I wonder if Casillas was watching.

 

[sjwaste]

Good sub. Silva is running out of gas today. Had a couple spots where he honestly should have scored, but he's been everywhere. Good game for him.

 

[ShadowOfMyself]

Not watching the game but just saw that Spain is losing... This World Cup is now officially a hoax, there is no way every single one of the top countries are playing horribly... With the exception of Germany I guess

I blame the vuvuzelas! The players are probably thinking like "Who cares about winning, I just wanna get the fuck out of here"

right. I think it is more of a case of under-estimating their opponent.

 

[KeithTalent]

Torres looking great so far.

Scary if they lose this since Chile looked fantastic in their game.

actually its because the gap between supposed "top" country's has been closed drastically in the past 8 years. the playing field is nearly equal across the board

 

[KeithTalent]

OMFG hit the bar! Wow!
