the real question is now, how many more goals will Uruguay score?

6/16/2010 4:11:27 PM

^i think they pack it in

6/16/2010 4:12:56 PM

nice dive, uragay

6/16/2010 4:12:59 PM

i gotta hand it to forlan, for one shining moment the vuvuzelas went silent

6/16/2010 4:13:13 PM

so what this tournament needs is more Forlan

6/16/2010 4:14:33 PM

south africa really needs a late goal if they want a slim chance on advancing through any tie breakers

lol everyone is trying to pull a dempsey now

6/16/2010 4:17:46 PM

wow, didn't know this - Khune is only the second goalkeeper ever to be sent off at the WC after Pagliuca for Italy against Norway in 1994.

6/16/2010 4:19:30 PM

^ahhh. i remember that

6/16/2010 4:20:15 PM

yep, intentional hand ball outside the box

6/16/2010 4:20:53 PM

welp, any slim chance of tie-breaker advancement just died.


the night the vuvuzela died.

6/16/2010 4:24:17 PM

6/16/2010 4:24:52 PM

haha BYE VUVUZELAS

6/16/2010 4:25:54 PM

solid 3rd goal too. Not a big Uruguay fan but they earned that one.

6/16/2010 4:26:44 PM

V just saying that this is a talented team. it's a shame they won't advance.

what?

6/16/2010 4:29:09 PM

I dunno, they're probably one of the worst teams in the cup

they did get a pretty hard group though

6/16/2010 4:31:35 PM

really, mexico, uruguay, and france should beat south africa. all of them are pretty good teams. doesn't really surprise me they aren't winning

6/16/2010 4:34:27 PM

as far as i can recall on hosts. this is prob the worst ever host in terms of quality of team. and for this years world cup they are prob in the bottom 3 of all the teams

6/16/2010 4:56:36 PM

What happened to the SA goalie??? He got a red card for an out of the box handball?

i dunno, in my opinion this SA team would probably fare well against that '94 US squad. but i'm being pretty biased because a)this team is current and b)i enjoyed their performance against mexico and as well as their confed cup performance and c)i want them to do continue the tradition of advancing

OH GOD AMBIENT NOISE IS SO ANNOYING

I CAN BARELY TUNE IT OUT

LET ME COMPLAIN ABOUT IT NONSTOP

6/16/2010 6:46:06 PM

I'd rather hear 50,000 vuvuzelas than 5,000 Cameron Crazies.

6/16/2010 6:49:21 PM

If i wanted your opinion I'd ask for it^

6/16/2010 6:50:19 PM

The only thing more annoying than the vuvuzelas is people incessantly whining about the vuvuzelas.

6/16/2010 6:51:23 PM

For all the complaints about not being able to hear the crowd react to good plays, etc... what broadcast are you watching? Because I've been keeping that complaint in mind for the last several games I've watched and have not had a problem. I still hear tons of ooh-ing and ahh-ing on the espn3.com broadcasts.

6/16/2010 6:58:31 PM

I'm watching ESPNHD, both on television and online, and I have no complaints!

"Maradona fires back at soccer greats Associated Press PRETORIA, South Africa -- Diego Maradona made stinging comments about fellow soccer greats Pele and Michel Platini on Wednesday after the pair criticized Maradona's performance as Argentina coach. Maradona said he was not surprised by their comments and that "Pele has to go back to the museum." As for Platini, "I always had a very distant relationship with him -- hello and goodbye. We know how the French are and Platini is French and he thinks of himself as being more than the rest of the world. I've never paid him any attention and I won't do it now." Earlier, Maradona had criticized Pele, who led Brazil to three World Cup titles, for doubting Africa's ability to organize a World Cup. Asked about Brazil, Maradona said Argentina's fierce South American rival was not tested by North Korea in the 2-1 win on Tuesday. "Brazil played a relaxed game, too relaxed," Maradona said. "Korea never challenged them. For [goalkeeper] Julio Cesar, it would have been the same to shower or not after the game. "Brazil is Brazil ... and Dunga has done a good job. When more will be demanded of them, they will play better for sure." Maradona said the general lack of scoring so far at the World Cup could be blamed partly on the teams' initial cautiousness. "I'm not worried about the lack of goals. The goals will come and there are players here to make that happen," Maradona said. "Of course, in the first matches one is more careful than maybe one should be. The teams are studying their opponents, which is why there are fewer goals." Maradona also assigned some of the blame to the much-maligned 2010 World Cup ball, saying the Jabulani was having "a large influence" on the low scores. He also asked the sport's authorities to pay more attention to the quality of the ball."

beautiful flick on and nice finish by Higuain there

6/17/2010 8:04:23 AM

nice looking goal. Glad to see things opening up in this 2nd round of group games; more teams out looking for blood and goal differential instead of being cautious.

Messi's touch and ball control is unreal. That would have been an amazing goal had that been a better finish.

andddd a stupid lax defender costs Argentina a goal. what a terrible touch and decision there.
