Anyway results for today.

Mexico 2-1 Cameroon
Spain 2-2 Netherlands
Chile 3-1 Australia

I fully expect Robben to tear Spain apart. I only want Spain to win so I can laugh at kirby007.

Edit - Made Spa-Ned a 2-2 game.

People who say that we will lose with a 2 goal difference, can burn

So, I am safe from kirby's wrath!

It is a clear red.

People here are talking bollocks.

If you intentionally thrust your arm into the neck of an opponent, you are off. 

He looked for him, and put his forearm into his neck.  Its a red all day long. 

Literally no commentator, pundit, ex ref or ex professional I have heard speak on it thinks this is not a red.  To a man they say he should have been off.


You guys got weak in the Isles. This wasn't even a topic of discussion in our media, no elaboration needed - yellow card and move on. He didn't elbow him, as many of you are trying to say, just put his forearm on him. The fact that Modrić is even weaker than Neymar made this look so spectacular.

 

@Dutch - do you really believe in your team that much? I mean, you had a very good team 4 years ago, but two years ago in Poland you were the worst team of the tournament. Are you gonna field a team this time, or 11 individuals again? Are they bickering and fighting each other already?



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

Do you have a source on that? Because I legit only found one site saying that it should have been red. On the Soccer section of Reddit everyone thinks that a yellow card was the correct call.



Anyone wanna make a sig bet for 1 week?
I win if:
Australia win against Chile
Australia score but lose to Chile by just 1 goal (eg. 2-1)
Australia draw with Chile

You win if:
Chile win by 2 goals or more (eg. 3-1)
Chile win and Australia doesn't score

Winner can have any text added to the losers sig that wouldn't have them banned of course.

70% of the poll (however many people that is) say he should have been off.

He was lucky to stay on.

Lucky to escape a red card.

I could go on and find more, but I wont. The football world is split on it though.

On the funnier side of things, here is a video of Blatter being booed by thousands of people.
