second time in this tourney i've been boned over on a bet during injury time. bet the under on uruguay-south africa and the very late goal pushed them over 2.5, and bet slovakia only to have new zealand score with less than a minute left. [expletive]!

 

Moral of the story is:

 

Never bet on baseball, soccer, or hockey.

This loss would hurt a lot less if South Africa had beaten Mexico.

It's pretty [expletive] awesome that Switzerland won against Spain, though.

Are there any rules in soccer regarding the use of invisible phones by the coaches?

 

“Kim Jong-Su, the general secretary of the North Korean FA, has said the Dear Leader gave ‘in-depth guidance’ on how to develop the game in the country and the coach himself has claimed he received regular tactical advice during matches, apparently using mobile phones that are not visible to the naked eye."

Must be what Kim Jong-Il does when he's felling ronery.

[USSoccer]

That's insane. I want the PRK to advance to the next round just so we get more of that kind of info.

ETA: to be fair, there's also a Facebook group that wants to ban soccer from vuvuzela concerts. :roll:

Thought this could be a game Argentina could drop points in. Not looking like it so far despite the stupid goal they gave up in extra time.

[USSoccer]

Oh how did he miss that?

 

This is a great game.

[Jon]

Bah. So much for this one.

 

Nice first save by the keeper. But when is Messi going to find the back of the net?

[TruffleShuffle]

well this is turning into an ass kicking

[TruffleShuffle]

p.s. that fourth goal was terrific, especially the chip pass

He's been playing great without finding the net so far.

time warner cable's Espn feed is dead.

 

 

but I just found the espn deportes channel.

[TruffleShuffle]

lol what was the goalie doing there?

[Jon]

I don't know how the Nigerian player had the presence of mind to let that free kick go through.

 

Also, I love the name Sokratis Papastathopoulos.

[shnsajax]

He got deeked pretty good. Blame that more on the back line than I do the keeper.

Argentina looked fantastic today. All of a sudden, winning Group C becomes a big deal. Finish second in Group C, your path to the semis is Germany-Argentina. Win it, and your path is (at worst) Ghana-Uruguay.
