World Cup 2014

[Rogah]

Now I remember why I think soccer is a joke. Biggest games on the biggest stage and some guy flops his way to a goal for his own team. LOLOLOLOL

 

[RastaRocket]

They are the second best team like the dolphins are the second best team in the afc east

Not even close

 

[CATCH17]

lucky? He didnt hit it good and he still got it passed the goalie. And he stretched out. Thats just skill

Give credit to Neymar for taking the chance but most keepers save that goal.

Sucks for you then . Youre missing out on an amazing sport all because you don't like players trying to draw penalties.

Will be in Cozumel for this World Cup. Hope Mexico does well, the country/city is a blast during this time. I can't remember, but back in the late 90's or early 2000's, Mexico was playing well and the whole city(Cozumel) shut down at night to watch a match. For the life of me, can't remember who, maybe Germany, France or it was against the USA. They did not win the cup that year but came close.

I'm not much of a soccer fan but I do follow the World Cup most times. It is hard for me to get into(not knowing all of the rules/not playing as a kid) but I find this tournament interesting.

When Mexico wins, the drinks flow freely as well as the scuba diving discounts

 

[MC KAos]

Not even close

I agree, Germany and Portugal are not even close

 

[MC KAos]

I agree it was a terrible call and I agree Brazil got lucky, but...bottom line is Neymar has an insane amount of pressure on him, and he put the ball in the net twice, I think Brazil played their worst game of the tourneytourney

 

[Phoenix]

Man, the Croatia manager guy really went off on that ref. Wowzers. And I don't blame it at all.

 

[MC KAos]

Hope that guy doesn't ref again, not quite as bad as the one from the US vs Slovenia game, but close

 

[nyc-cowboy]

So far Mexico and Cameroon are playing a pretty entertaining game.

0-0..... so far

 

[Ren]

Horrible officiating again mexico should be up by 2

 

[CATCH17]

2 games 2 horrible officiating jobs.

 

[LatinMind]

Dos Santos has finally found his game. He's a complete player now. Attacks and defends all over the field now. Great great game by Dos Santos. He had 2 goals taken away, bad calls by the refs. Horrible. And he almost had 2 others. Watch out for him vs Brazil on monday. Gonna be a good game.

 

[LatinMind]

first goal not offsides the 2nd to bottom defender is behind all. even the guy marking him is right with him. bad call


2nd goal is even worse, you cant be offsides on a corner kick. just impossible.

 

[LatinMind]

Dos Santos is my favorite player. And this is my favorite play from him.


Ground view that shows a better example of how great this goal was

is that any different from the way Dook boys flop their ways to the NCAA championship?

People make way too much of a deal over a dive/flop whatever you want to call it

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

first goal not offsides the 2nd to bottom defender is behind all. even the guy marking him is right with him. bad call


2nd goal is even worse, you cant be offsides on a corner kick. just impossible.

I didn't see the second one as I was driving to work but the first one was very close, that is explainable by simple error

 

[LatinMind]

Yeah i can see it too. But if the side judges are in the right posistion thats a easy one to call.

 

[Craig]

Day 2 of the world cup, rematch of the final, lets award a pk on a pathetic embellishment for the first score.

 

[joseephuss]

I think the assistant thought another player from Mexico flicked the ball back to Dos Santos. That is about the only way it could have been offsides. Just a bad call.
