Any possession stats yet? I have a feeling Italy might be winning the most important part of the match.

Says nothing look at the netherlands yesterday =( and the chelsea barcelona matches.

 

[norinrad]

Mario has behaved so far but for how long?

 

[dalVlatko]

He was quite clearly hit on the arm.

So?

Does being touched give you a pass to roll around on the ground and forcing the game to stop?

Come on, even if it hurt, a natural reaction to being hit on the arm is not to roll around on the ground.

 

[cube444]

So close, nice bit of play too

Really? That looks painful to me. Cleats dragged down his body.

Either way it's a foul.

 

[luxstellarum]

Dat Inesta

 

[scorcho]

oof. just barely offside.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Balotelli obviously not working hard enough

 

[Socreges]

Spain don't know what to do with the ball once the reach Italy's 18m. FFS.

They're all midfielders. It's a stacked 11, but it'll be interesting if lacking the natural striker ends up costing them.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Ofcourse, but is he actually hurt? Fuck no. I have seen toddlers hit harder.

That's a dive in my book.

Yes... With studs it certainly does hurt quite a bit getting hit like that. Of course not nearly as much as he was crying for... But in that case every damn foul is a dive. It should have been a foul.

 

[fuenf]

Spain are actually missing an explicit striker. Just then there was no-one in and around the 6 yard box on the leading edge of the attack. Spain should win but I think they make it difficult for themselves.

According to the german press / pundits that is the way you have to play nowadays.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Ofcourse, but is he actually hurt? Fuck no. I have seen toddlers hit harder.

That's a dive in my book.

Every single club in the world emphasises exaggeration of fouls in order to get a favourable referee decision. Hardly any fouls justify the rolling/flopping that ensue them.

 

[Majine]

I wouldn't roll on the ground if I got hit hard on the shoulder.

Are you kidding. It says everything! Next year FIFA is changing the rules to state that the team who plays the more attractive football wins. Just ask Meus

 

[rodvik]

Cassano playing brilliantly so far.

 

[Meier]

Uh oh, Mario getting worked up.

 

[Socreges]

Either way it's a foul.

Forza Italia!

I propose changing the name of the sport from "football" to "figure divegrassing".

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

It could be just me but it appeared for a split second that you quoted a post of mine from yesterday.

 

[rodvik]

Why are these perfectly fine tackles being called as fouls?

 

[Juicy Bob]

You KNOW it's a good game when the crowd start a Mexican wave.

 

[criesofthepast]

Listen to that crowd. Beautiful.

 

[Dark Schala]

Fack TSN here in Canada, payed 20 bucks for this "HD" stream, ($20 for the entire month/tourney)

Yeah, I few of my students were wondering why they had to pay for a stream on Friday. iirc, WC 2010 had free streaming, and the games were on demand on the ROD channel. Now apparently from what I gather, I have to get TSN2 to watch some games I missed/watch the TV downstairs since it's the one with the box. :/

Casillas is at least ten times hotter than Torres. dat beard

Not with the 10x hotter bit, but Casillas is quite good-looking.

This is sort of what I say every new season / every new cup.

¡A huevo! ¡Viva México cabrones!

 

[Oxx]

Crowd are bored of Spain's anti-football

 

[Sickboy007]

Spain gets the ball, game stops.

edit:fuckit

 

[Verano]

viva Nueva Espanha!!

 

[scorcho]

wtf.

 

[Brinbe]

Iniesta has been immense

 

[Acidote]

Iniesta is godlike.

 

[Scum]

Iniesta! :3

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Listen to that crowd. Beautiful.

Needs more BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

 

[Coldnoodle]

Iniesta so good in tight spaces.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Says nothing look at the netherlands yesterday =( and the chelsea barcelona matches.

But that match is exactly what proved to us that possession is the most important thing in football.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Holy shit Buffon. :O

 

[ColossalLazy]

Oh Spain shooting shocking.

Laughing @both

 

[BigBoss]

Iniesta's dribbling skills are amazing.

 

[rodvik]

Iniesta reminding everyone who he is.

 

[Zabojnik]

I'll say it again. Cassano and Balotelli just can't link up.

LOL Cassano. SUB HIM PRANDELLI.

 

[Gambit]

On German TV the Spaingasm continues...

Are the commentators as in love with them in other countries as well?

 

[Salvadora]

Iniesta is unbelievable. Its shocking how much talent is on the pitch.

 

[Deleted member 81567]

I'll say it again. Cassano and Balotelli just can't link up.

Especially when one is so trash and the other one is actually pretty good.

 

[Regulus Tera]

viva Nueva Espanha!!

¿Qué?

 

[Phantast2k]

On German TV the Spaingasm continues...

Still better than yesterday's UAAAAAAAAAAHHHH every 2 or so minutes

 

[Tim the Wiz]

Iniesta <3

 

[Broder Salsa]

Well you can't blame Cassano too much, he only just got back.

 

[criesofthepast]

Cassano has looked a lot better than Balotelli so far.

 

[Omiee]

there is something different about this spanish squad.
