maybe i'm just being too sooky about it, but it ing pisses me off. the good thing about teams like new zealand is they just go for the ball, no bull diving etc...
then you get italy, portugal, and spain doing anything to AVOID playing the game... diving, attacking the opponents, not even trying to win sometimes, until the last minute...
get a match review committee on and make em paranoid etc...
thoughts? completely stupid?
It wasn't a dive, it was an accidental trip.
Notice at around the 8 second mark, Torres' foot makes contact with Estrada's knee which causes him to trip.
The only moron here is the referee for sending off Estrada. It wasn't a dive, it wasn't a yellow card, and it wasn't even a foul.

Are you ing kidding me? He hits his own foot, blatantly.
Have you never fallen before when tripping yourself up? You stumble and try to regain balance, you don't flail like an Italian ballet dancer.
That's 100% a yellow card offence.

Yes, he hits his own foot because it made contact with Estrada's knee accidentally. Notice how Estrada also reacts to the contact. It was just an unfortunate play, really.
The one at fault here is the referee, whom I had already warned is a ing idiot.

What's everyone's draws looking like thus far? Here is what I have / hope goes down:
USA to win the whole thing, Argentina 2nd, Netherlands 3rd.
DREAMS CAN COME TRUE!
woscar
Uruguay vs Korea => Uruguay
USA vs Ghana => USA
Germany vs England => Germany
Argentina vs Mexico => Argentina
Netherlands vs Slovakia => Netherlands
Brazil vs Chile = Chile
Paraguay vs Japan => Japan
Spain vs Portugal => Spain
After that it should be...
Uruguay vs USA => Uruguay
Germany vs Argentina => Argentina
Netherlands vs Chile => Netherlands
Japan vs Spain => Spain
Then...
Uruguay vs Netherlands => Netherlands
Argentina vs Spain => Spain
Final: Netherlands vs Spain
That was my dream final since the beginning. :D
Lira
Holland
Portugal
Germany
South Korea
I'd love to see England vs Netherlands in the final, but I'm afraid the Englishmen cannot beat the Germans.

I'm sorry guys, I'm not "in the know" with this soccer business, so forgive me if this is old news to you.
My friend just showed this to me... Clint Dempsey's rap video. I watched him do an interview for ESPN a month ago, and he seemed like a regular guy from Texas, spoke very well and sounded normal. Then I see this video and he thinks he's black? lol I'm embarrassed to be an American right now. *sigh*

Tough call, my favorites for this World Cup are Spain, Netherlands, and Messi. :p
And Argentina has no midfield against...well, I think you're familiar with some blokes that go by the names Xavi, Iniesta, and Cesc Fabregas.

The only thing that concerns me about argentina is the lack of understanding between the defensive midfield and the center defense , other than that we pretty much are above any other team in every single line .

What would be epic... US vs. Deutschland :crazy:
I wonder what are the odds of that actually happening.
