Sudden death (or "golden goal") was one of the most horrific inventions that made it briefly into the world of football.

i am stoked, 12 more days...though i did watch some soccer today...i saw fake dive, after fake dive and a huge game almost come down to a shootout (which just has to be 10,000 x more lame then golden goal)

No, they should not have won.

Belgium was the better team. By far.

From the looks of it by one goal. ;) It's alright though I hope David Stern gets involved in FIFA and Barry nukes waffleland over this.

Not even remotely a close game.

From these stats, it appears the only thing the USA did better was fall down and fake injuries to get foul calls.

Yet it was only 1 goal :nod: and they had a bunch of chances to tie it in extra time. Either way Allez Les Bleus!

I've stolen your Argentina pic Larry :lol:

Is it just me or do all the players look completely fucked after about 80m minutes of every game. I still think any of the last 8 could win this.

A bunch of chances?

I didn't see one good chance really.

Then again, I was rather drunk by the end of the game. I didn't expect extra time when I started drinking 2 hours before the game. Thank God there wasn't a penalty shoot out.

There were 3-4 decent chances after Green (Greene?) was put in that kid is pretty fucking good, and I'm a dual citizen so at least France can hopefully keep it going for me. If not France than go Brazil

Keep in mind I know Belgium is the better side, if not for Tim Howard standing on his head it would have likely been a 7-0 loss instead of 2-1

yeah obviously belgium was the better team but you have to admit that that american guy should have made that shot in the 90th minute.

That was flagged offside too. He was about a MILE onside. So if he had of scored it wouldn't have stood anyway.

You lot should be glad, they're using video refereeing for the goal line! Should make you feel more at home, innit.

Actually, 16-1. Howard made 16 saves, more than any other goalkeeper in a World Cup match in recorded history. Here are all his saves.

Belgium deserved the win, but it was a really good match. For a minute there, before extra time, I thought the US were actually going to pull off a last minute win.

I don't know if it's because I got to experience this WC in real life, so please correct me if I'm wrong... but I fell like this is the most exciting World Cup I've ever seen. Quite a few goals, many upsets, many comebacks, great saves, great intensity in some games... I don't know, it seems like anyone could beat anyone, regardless of names and history.

No, it's not just you. I think this is the best WC in recent memory. I've watched almost all the games in their entirety. Even when I was at work, I streamed the games on my computer. The times I couldn't actually watch, like when my boss was nearby, I listened with ear phones. Sure a couple of the matches were boring but overall they've been pretty exciting with many upsets and surprises. :rockon:

One thing I observed is the Uruguay team wears the tightest jerseys or they are super buff compared to all the other teams. :lol:

i saw that it was flagged offsides. so is there a video review in the world cup? i'm confused. if there is no review it's a good thing he missed it. that would have been pretty controversial.

I agree, at least it has been way better than the last WC. I really can't tell who will be playing the finals. And I hope it's not as boring as the last one :sui:
