Holland 2 - Brazil 1

 

[loldude333]

Lol i was pretty impressed with Robben........the way he kept drawing fouls, getting up and drawing more. He really played his part today.

 

[loldude333]

Oh, and did anyone spot the ref taking out the wrong card when he was booking Ooijer? Damn funny lah.

 

[kimura]

I watched the game& am left in utter disbelief. Euphoria is the word.

C'mon Argentina!

 

[junkiemanxl]

wow, hand of god part 2! shades of a similar stunt by marco van basten years back.
suarez the saviour! well played

 

[kimura]

There should be an amenmdment to the rule(s);

If a player deliberately handles a goal-bound attempt, not only should he be sent off, he should be heavily fined& the goal should be given without the need for a penalty. In rugby, it is called a penalty try.

SUarez may be a 'saviour' but that is the most unsportmanship-like behaviour next to injuring some one with malice intent.

 

[van_halen]

^yeah, but actually there's alot of unsportsmanlike behaviour in soccer already (diving).

 

[junkiemanxl]

I agree with the un-sportsmanship behavior but I guess its just part and parcel of football.

too many unfair and Grey areas in football that has to be covered to make it a fair sport but then again, what if these were all ironed out?

Imagine having to stop and wait for officials to decide on an instant replay to decide if it's a goal / foul / throw in / goal kick / corner / booking / simulation / handball / ball to hand and the list goes on. Thats definitely a momentum breaker to the game and the viewers. The slightest un sportsmanship behavior will see the player get a straight red.

Like some say, Rugby is a gentleman's game and football is a hooligan's game.

Would we still love football if it became a gentleman's game?
Be it bad decisions or bad behavior on the pitch but we still move on to watch the next match.
It's like a soap opera.
hehe

True that JunkieBro...

Aight tonight how?

I'm not gonna predict the Argentina/Germany game but I'll try my luck with Paraguay/Spain:

HT 0 - 1/ FT 2 - 1 to Paraguay

 

[loldude333]

Wow you're quite bold dude...........predicting a Paraguay win over Spain. I'll go with the favourites, Spain, to win by 3 goals to 1 after FT. As for Germany Argentina, i only predict that there will be at least 3 goals.

 

[kimura]

I'm holding on tight to my b*lls with my prediction brutha...

 

[fgl]

germany rulz

 

[van_halen]

argentina will lose to mighty germany. upset in the cards for spain vs paraguay..

 

[junkiemanxl]

My Prediction for tonight:

Argentina - Germany : HT 0 - 1 / FT 1 - 3

Paraguay - Spain : HT 0 - 0 / FT 1 - 1 / Extra time 1 -1 / Penalties to Spain

Wonder if there will be more red cards tonight...
