It was offside but there was no way the ref could have saw that. I didn't saw till after a few replays that Xavi touched the ball again, I thought he juts let it go pass him.

It was offside even if Xavi hadn't touched the ball.

disgusting to say at least. i fuckin' hate both teams but wtf was that?!

It was classic

thats what it was

He shouldn't have subbed Almeida

Yeah, that's what I've been saying for years .

 

[Tommy]

Someone fuckin eliminate spain!!!!!! Their fanboys are so irritatin

 

[Ventus]

Costa must have brushed Capdevilla with his elbow and the player went down. Did anyone else see the way the Spaniard reacted when he saw that the referee was interested?

Doesn't help when you're on a team that doesn't play football.

On top of the use of Ronaldo, I also don't understand why teams start to attack the opposition goal when there is 5 minutes to go after losing for half an hour. Italy did the same and looked dangerous.

only italians dive, an invisible man holds; torres, biaquits and capiville down when they appear to be rolling around

Yup, saw that. He got good lessons from Biscuits.

So Xavi did get a touch on the ball, which is when Villa was offside, correct?

Xavi had an influence on that pass so it was offside anyway but ye, he touched it and the goal was offside.

 

[Enron]

Viva Espana!

 

[HAZEM]

Spain plays the most boring football ever!! i really can't stand them and the acting became their main profession.. disgusting and the goal is offside and the red card wtf that's bullshit.

 

[Oggy]

I find it bizarre that Ronaldo is isolated up front instead of getting him involved in carrying the ball forward. Almeida looked dangerous as a forward as well.

That was huge mistake, to play only player that can create something almost as a poacher

Impossible. Villa was 2 km away at that point.

 

[king Ale]

And he subbed him exactly when he had started doing well.

 

[king Ale]

Impossible. Villa was 2 km away at that point.

It isn't the point. Even if Xavi hadn't touched the ball just leaving it to Villa, it would have been still offside as he had an influence on the ball by letting it go.

If this Spanish team wants to reach the final, Fabregas should start playing. This game had Fabregas written all over it. I don't know why he's benched.

 

[SABSAB]

It was offside even if Xavi hadn't touched the ball.

See here. If Xavi wouldn't have touched it, it would've been a perfect clear goal.
And his touch was so slightly there was no way the ref could've seen that so I don't blame them.

 

[SABSAB]

It isn't the point. Even if Xavi hadn't touched the ball just leaving it to Villa, it would have been still offside as he had an influence on the ball by letting it go.

Passive? No. He didn't influence or affect the goalkeeper in any way.

I find FAGregas to be overrated. Especially compared to who is starting ahead of him. So it makes sense why he's not starting

Brazil will win the World Cup.
