I would like to know why U.S GAF roots for CONCACAF as if it where some kind of Justice League of North American Countries squads.

Thinking about south americans cheering for CONMEBOL, lol
 
Okay... the deflection was extremely lucky. Great finish by Higuain, but the ball getting directly on his feet after the deflection was quite lucky. Take off the blinders, mate.

What blinders? I'm not even an Argentina fan. There's always a cause and effect in futbol, 'luck' is brought upon by creating opportunities. You should probably analyze the game a bit better.
 
Argentina is already slowing down the game. Taking their sweet time with free kicks, keeping the tempo low. Can't really fault them, but I hate that style of play.
 
So, was Tim Howard really that good or is Belgium just incapable of scoring?

It was a combination of solid Tim Howard play (he saved all of the shots he should save) with a couple of great saves, really good defense that forced Belgium into bad angles, and Belgium's inability to make chances with good angles.
 
So far Belgium has taken a very satisfactory approach when attacking. They have 6-7 men in the other half during possession. Only require a good chance to break in. In comparison, France was shit yesterday.
 
since when has FIFA refs, turned to NFL refs regarding letting things go in the playoffs/elimination round?

everything that was being called last week is being ignored today. Hazzard trip, Messy Trip.

edit- I'm trying to remember if this was the same with late in the Champion's League Tournament.
 
What's with the quarter finals and these early goals that have meant a winner so far. Hopefully Belgium breaks this spell.

All around bad mojo since the last 16 tho. No more magic.
