[WC] World Cup 2010 - General Talk Thread (24 Viewers)

[Bjerknes]

I think Honduras has a chance of taking a point from the Swiss. The latter will now be faced with having to come at them more, which will open up that Swiss defense.

Wait, Chile's goal was offside (I didn't see it)?

That would be ridiculous.

 

[JuveJay]

Just on I think, he was leaning but legs were level. The guy near the touchline wasn't interfering with play.

I saw it again. It wasn't.

The Swiss and Chileans to advance this group:xfinger:

The linesman is the one who didn't flag for Mexico's first goal against France. He's done very well so far. Too bad the Saudi ref's mistakes might cost the whole team in the end

 

[Alen]

Don't you think the goal was offside btw?

I can't say much.
At first I saw an offside but then I saw that the guy who was deep offside didn't interfere with the game at all, so it was a passive offside.
I don't think that the guy who got that ball (and later assisted the goal) was offside, but I can't claim that. I need to see it again.

Damn it, I hate Chile because they are South American, and I really like the Chocolates.

Should have been a yellow, not a red, and what's-his-face for Chocolate should have scored at the end.

What did you guys think about the Portugal match, what is the leader going to do to the team?

 

[Mohad]

Chile has the ability to make a decently deep run. However, their finishing needs to improve.

 

[JuveJay]

Spain 2-0 Honduras
Spain 1-0 Chile
Switzerland 2-0 Honduras

Chile go out?

Coentrão was the player of the match for Portugal-Ivory Coast, IMO. He pretty much let nothing past him. I was duly impressed.

Btw, Sadomin, I wasn't the only one:

Coentrão was originally a winger who just recently got moved to defensive back by Benfica and has done well there. While he was dangerous going forward against N Korea today, he earned all his accolades against the Ivory Coast on defense.

 

[Red]

Spain 2-0 Honduras
Spain 1-0 Chile
Switzerland 2-0 Honduras

Chile go out?

Would the top three not be absolutely tied?

Spain 6pts - +2 goals
Chile 6pts - +2 goals
Swiss 6pts - +2 goals.

All even in the head to head.

Would it not go to a ballot?

Dude, South America is seriously getting some Home (Southern) Hemisphere advantages in this Cup it seems.

 

[JuveJay]

I'm just asking the question, seems so So a one goal swing either way would do it.

Aye.

Chile 6pts - +1 goal. They are out.

 

[Red]

Chile 6pts - +1 goal. They are out.

My mistake.

I had it in my head Chile beat Honduras 2-0.

 

[Dostoevsky]

My first prediction went through.

Now Spain to kick the shit of out Honduras tonight.

 

[Yamen]

Guys what do you think of the swiss keeper? He seem to be good. Apart from the goal today
