Was the guy who scored that offsides? It was hard to tell.

Not even close. It's where you are on the field when the ball is kicked not where you receive the ball

Own goal by Mexico gives Argentina the equilizer.

Own goal on Mexico. Ouch.

[Outshined_One]

Overtime!

[soccer10k]

That was a very close offsides call against Argentina at the end of the game.

 

We have overtime.

Who knew activating a credit card would take 10 minutes and wouldn't be automated...

 

I need to see a replay of that offsides.

I have to get ready for a wedding, but I can't miss this extra time....

After a second look I think the Argentinian was onsides. But it's so close that it could have gone either way.

I have to leave to visit my uncle for a bit before going to a Keys game, but I really want to see this end.

Anyone else think Mexico's regretting that own goal right now?

 

Heck of a shot.

[Jon]

That was a heck of a shot!

That was an awesome shot.

 

Goal of the tournament.

That's more than likely the game winner. Only 20 minutes to go.

[Outshined_One]

Geez. The sheer level of concentration, timing, and luck needed to make that shot was just unreal.

 

That was indeed a once in a lifetime shot for Rodriguez. Damn.

Argentina advances and will play Germany in the quarterfinals.

[brinoch]

Own goal on Mexico. Ouch.

 

I DVRed the game and watched the play, and all the replays, in slow-motion and frame by frame advance. Crespo had his foot in front of Borgetti's head, and the ball clearly struck Crespo's foot. You can see Crespo's foot move in reaction to the strike. It is unclear whether Borgetti's head made significant contact.

 

Awarding the goal to Crespo was and remains the right call.

I am angry that I keep missing Germany's games due to work. I never thought I'd get so into this World Cup thing. It's exciting as hell.

Ecuador is going to win.

:( - Owen Hargreaves is right-back again. Why do they do that? (Appalling squad selection notwithstanding)

[soccer10k]

No Crouch today either for England.

[Banedon]

Rick Morrisey has a pretty good articleabout why soccer doesn't really appeal to american males generally. Of course a lot of it is probably hyperbole, but there's some truth there.

[soccer10k]

Marcelo Balboa basically just said that David Beckham should not be on the field right now and there are other players on England that could do a much better job than Beckham is currently doing. I would love to know what the Brits on here think about that statement.
