I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

Sweet goal by Villa. Uh, goalie, don't come 30 yards off the line for no reason.

Barcelona are going to be unstoppable with him there next season. He is just a fantastic player.

Once they grab Torres, Barca will basically be the Spanish national team plus Messi.
Is Harkes going to be calling color on the U.S. game? That guy is worthless. Watching these two games reminds me how much better I like Ekoku or McCoist on color commentary.

You know what, despite the beautiful and skilled way Spain play, they sure like to crowd, intimidate, and whine at the ref. And Torres fucking sold that like a bitch.

From what I have heard he is scheduled to do all the US games.  He is terrible. |

Freddy Adu was born in Ghana. I'm almost happy for him they didn't include him in the (US) World Cup team. That would have been crazy.

The US has the easiest run to the final out of all the knockout pairings. Granted, I don't think they'll do it (they'll lose to Uruguay in the quarter), but they have a fantastic chance to have a strong/lucky game or two and BAM they're in touching distance of the weird gold lump.
God I love the World Cup, even more so when the US does well. It's the only time I feel like a normal person, because everyone else around me is talking about "soccer".

That actually doesn't look like a dive from what I can see. He was running, and the guy in the red shirt came up behind him. The guy in blue's right leg got out in front of the guy in red, who's kneecap just barley hit his foot. This pushed blue guys leg to the left so that when it came forward, it ran into the back of his left leg instead of going in front of him, causing the tumble. That's what it looks like to me at least.

Ya, wasn't a dive. There is a better angle that clearly shows he was clipped. No need for a card there, but it wasn't a dive.

He totally leaped into the air and flopped on the ground. Yes there was contact, which was minimal and accidental. But his reaction to it was contrived and dishonest. If Cristiano Ronaldo or Gilardino did that, there would be pitchforks and stakes out for them. But it's Spain, who get the benefit of the doubt because they're supposed to be the team for the purists, the saints of football saving the modern game from pragmatism and drudgery.

Error 404: Title not found.

Any game where you have to question the motives of a player after a "foul" is ridiculous, and I captained my damn team in it in high school.
Also I was a keeper, so fuck prima-forwards and their shit.
They need to just get over themselves and put in replay for good in soccer/football. We all see what happened after the fact, and is anyone punished? Nooooooo, it's part of the game.

^ THIS. ^ It was a bitch foul, a free kick at best but definitely not dude's second yellow. Now, Torres will go down on occasion (though he's no Italian). Of course, in the Premier League, he gets beat to shit and back, so I don't blame him for that. And he's with Liverpool, so fuck off - at least for the time being. Barca with Villa will be fucking unstoppable. I look forward to seeing Real Madrid's big expensive tears in bigger expensive bowls full of tears this year. Unfortunately, it means Valencia is going to struggle mightily, especially if Silva goes to Chelsea or Man City. That Chilean side is impressive. |

It really did look like an accidental clip, I don't think any card was deserved (but I'm not really sure how they deal out punishment in soccer. I'm assuming a yellow card is only given out for intentionally fouling somebody).
That gif that rk47 posted reminds me that, as the US government owns AIG now, we really need to change the corporate logo so we can make that soccer team display it. Maybe USA with a crying eagle or something. As a taxpayer (and thus, shareholder) I demand it!

Again, not a dive. People don't seem to get that these people are running at full speed shifting around their body weight and making quick cuts. He clearly tripped himself up and there should be no foul, but that isn't a dive. |

Yeah that second one is just a total faceplant, nobody is going to take a dive face first like that, they might actually get hurt.  |

South Korea-Uruguay should be interesting. They both know the winner will face a winnable game against the US or Ghana. I can't believe that quadrant of the bracket managed to avoid all heavyweights. ANY of the four teams could believably hit the semis.

WOW. Beautiful second goal by Suarez in the 80th minute. I don't think Korea can come back from that.

What shitty fucking defense. They'll give up another one before the 20 minute mark if they don't change.
