The ref should have red carded that Chilean who kicked Torres in the knee om purpose..

 

[GasX]

Bit of a judgement call, but that is a LONG way to come out from your goal and is very risky - obviously

 

[sdifox]

close call

 

[sdifox]

great Spanish goal

 

[GasX]

Stick a fork in Chile

 

[sdifox]

that was an accident, I don't think Estrada should have been sent off.

 

[GasX]

omg - that red card is such a BS call

 

[bigrash]

Nice goal. Textbook soccer right there.

 

[Barfo]

whoa...chile is screwed

 

[JHoNNy1OoO]

that was an accident, I don't think Estrada should have been sent off.

He shouldn't of even been in the game at that point. He got a pass on an earlier foul that should have been his second yellow.

 

[Udgnim]

Spain vs Portugal is going to be one hell of a match

 

[JHoNNy1OoO]

Nasssssty deflection.

 

[bigrash]

Spain vs Portugal is going to be one hell of a match

Definitely!

How is this game still 0-0 (swiss/honduras)

 

[ichy]

At this point even a 1-0 win wouldn't do Switzerland any good unless Spain scores another goal as well.

 

[bigrash]

Yeah, I can't believe Switzerland beat Spain, but can't even score against Honduras

 

[iCyborg]

Spain and Chile have stopped playing altogether. SUI would need 2 goals, so both teams are happy with the result, but it's a bit un-sportmanslike, just passing the ball around.

 

[ichy]

Oh well, if they can't beat Honduras then it's not like they would've had a chance against Brazil, since that's who the Group H runner up would've played.

eh

I am not sure he didnt get a piece of the ball on that tackle

I watched the replay twice and it seems to move a bit as he went through

if he touched ball at all then its not even a foul, let alone another yellow

thats why they changed game 3, to be simultaneous


better to get 75-80 minutes of real soccer, than none, which has happened before


swiss and honduras tie, spain and chile move on to round 2

the office soccer experts here say we can take ghana and uruguay no problem, and should meet brazil in the semi's.

can we make it to the finals and win it all?

No, too many fatties in the US.

your office experts are terrible.

Ghana wont go easy and if they remember how to score they could be a problem. And from what I've seen Uruguay is by no means a "no problem" match. None of the remaining games for the US are going to be "no problem" games and if we make it to the semi's it would be ridiculous.

There are never EVER any "sure wins" an "no problems" in such cream of the crop tourments no matter the sport. Especially evident by this year's World Cup.
