glad to see I was wrong about Uruguay, this game's been better than I expected

7/6/2010 3:54:28 PM

let's see if he can put this one away as well

7/6/2010 3:54:30 PM

I'm going to laugh if an English team picks up Forlan after this World Cup, he's playing out of his mind but this shit will not happen week in and week out in England

YOU CAN QUOTE ME ON THAT

7/6/2010 3:56:15 PM

wow robben...skied it

7/6/2010 3:56:27 PM

robben just blew his load on that opportunity

^^i think forlan enjoys playing in spain. the game much better suits him. maybe he'll move across town to play for los galacticos?

7/6/2010 3:57:08 PM

how was that not offsides?

7/6/2010 3:58:09 PM

oh my god. how did that find the back of the net?

7/6/2010 3:58:14 PM

that was weird, looked offsides

7/6/2010 3:58:24 PM

no clue how that's allowed

awful decision

for reals

7/6/2010 3:58:36 PM

That has to be offsides, no?

7/6/2010 3:58:46 PM

closer than i thought, but still offsides...

7/6/2010 3:58:47 PM

wow, nice haha

7/6/2010 3:58:48 PM

okay, the first half, this linesman wouldn't even let close calls go uruguay's way. this half, he keeps the flag down? c'mon man

7/6/2010 3:59:05 PM

sneijder is gonna end up winning the player of the tourney when half of his goals have been scored by defenders pretty much

7/6/2010 3:59:49 PM

that was offsides, but i honestly can't tell if he got a touch on it. Ugly goal, but it counts.

7/6/2010 4:00:11 PM

well it doesnt matter if he got a touch. he was interfering with the goalkeeper and part of the play

7/6/2010 4:00:38 PM

1. He was barely offsides. You're talking about inches.
2. He didn't interfere physically with the play.

7/6/2010 4:00:57 PM

should probably be offsides, regardless of the touch

he's obviously *in* the play and interfering with the goalie



and 3-1 Holland

7/6/2010 4:01:12 PM

man i really was hoping a ref error wouldnt be the end of this game....

7/6/2010 4:01:23 PM

yeah, goalkeeper had to wait to read off of van persie, which is textbook for interfering with the play without getting a touch

7/6/2010 4:01:25 PM

Whoops.

7/6/2010 4:01:35 PM

that does it

7/6/2010 4:01:43 PM

dirk kuyt - player of the tournament

7/6/2010 4:01:46 PM

lol whelp doesn't matter now

7/6/2010 4:01:46 PM

and the game is over now cause of that goal...gay

7/6/2010 4:01:50 PM

great finish

7/6/2010 4:02:28 PM

he was barely offsides, yes. but in the first half, all close calls went the defenses way from this linesman. and this one did not. doesn't matter now, though, 3-1 holland

7/6/2010 4:03:04 PM

Oh shit

Looks like I need to be find a trip to Holland to watch the game

7/6/2010 4:03:30 PM

^^yep. ref wasnt consistent with his calls...

[Edited on July 6, 2010 at 4:03 PM. Reason : f]

7/6/2010 4:03:33 PM

oh look the side ref woke up now

7/6/2010 4:06:04 PM

Netherlands-Germany would be a more entertaining game to me

but Netherlands-Spain guarantees a first time winner, so that would be cool

7/6/2010 4:06:13 PM

welp. looks like a European team will finally win a world cup outside of Europe.


I'm gonna hope for a Holland-Spain final for a first time winner, now that all my south america teams are done. but i don't fancy spain's chances over germany, truth be told

After watching how these soccer games go down with the officiating and shit....I now completely understand why there are so many fights at soccer stadiums. I thought our college hoops refs were bad (and most are) but jesus christ soccer rules make it more like a scripted reality show than a game....

7/6/2010 4:07:57 PM

a worthy contribution

7/6/2010 4:08:49 PM

lol

7/6/2010 4:09:09 PM

i don't know why they're making such a big deal out of the dutch diving, uruguay has dove just as much, if not more.

7/6/2010 4:12:00 PM

how do you not finish that?

7/6/2010 4:14:48 PM

lol nice finish robben

7/6/2010 4:15:20 PM

robben really only has a left foot

7/6/2010 4:15:42 PM

yeah he loves to cut in constantly

dammit i wanted to see a replay of that last uruguay chance cause i dont think the guy who played it was offsides...but no, we had to see robben score on at least the 5th replay now

7/6/2010 4:17:10 PM

were we lolling me/noting the worthy contribution I made... or the game?

7/6/2010 4:17:45 PM

i lolled at the comment

7/6/2010 4:18:29 PM

van bommel is an idiot

7/6/2010 4:19:15 PM

van bommel is playing like a prick

7/6/2010 4:19:27 PM

oh shit..theres still a couple minutes left

7/6/2010 4:20:03 PM

OOOH SNIKEY
