World Cup Day 13 - Groups G & H Final Matchday
The one thing that never gets brought up in the Suarez/Ghana 2010 discusión is the absolute Superman dive the Ghanaian player took to set up the set piece the play came from. It should have ended up in penalties anyway with Suarez available against the Netherlands. Uruguay is the one who should be pissed. Also, fuck the Ghanaian national team.

Not sure. Considering no facts or laws are on his side, he should be banging the table - but its almost like he is arguing facts. Why would we trust goal line technology to tell us if a ball is scored and not if the ball crosses the same line outside some posts?

Not sure about your detective work here Lou

Yeah i figured someone would have tapped her on the shoulder. Someone got to her. Warren Barton seems to think a 6 goal GD is easy to overcome in extra time.

While I am rooting for your scenario, I’m not sure the players can hear them.

We call that a Lukaku.

I’m pretty sure we all thought that 30 mins through the Japan game.

At this point, one goal from Japan would put them back in second with GD and GF equal.

Canada can’t break down teams that defend and counter (Wales/Iran). They also wouldn’t have survived an onslaught from the Brits. They would have maybe have gotten a point for a scoreless draw against Iran (assuming Iran only needed a point and England beat Wales 3-0).

The Germans like to continue the conspiracy theory that Hurst’s second in 1966 never crossed the line. When the Soviet linesman was asked by the German captain how he could rule it in, he replied, “Stalingrad.”

Huh? Who besides Musiala would count as young? Schlotterbeck? They just played a team with two teenage midfielders and their top forward is 22.

Draw seems about right. Spain needed to stay on the front foot. Germany really needs bench Mueller and Gnabry to make sure and start fast against Costa Rica.

Come on Lucho You know what a real elbow looks like.

That would have been a pretty rough penalty no matter how much you hate Busqu The ref gave the free kick afterwards as a peace offering. Now the subs have looked much better. Was the second guy off on this one? Nope.

This is either going to end 1-1 or 3-0. Germans will always be able to score from set pieces, but I just don’t see anyone in the squad that will be doing so from open play.

Morata That was perfectly weighted by Alba and taken by Morata.

I realize they just almost took the lead, but if the Germans don’t bench Neuer and stop playing such a high line Hansi should be fired.

Yeah I hate when announcers use the word naive when talking about sports, but it seems fitting for Canada so far. Also not sure that those Canadian fans were your typical Molson drinkers.

Good from the Canuck keeper there, but that should be 3. And there goes Lovren wondering what the hell just happened. Guess I shouldn’t be praising the Canadian keep too soon. He should have been punished for that pass.
