What a ridiculous dive... Makeup call, I suppose. Switzerland just need a 1-0 win right now.
-
What on earth was the Chile keeper doing? There were 3 red jerseys coming back without a Spanish attacker in sight.

Apparently not losing was more important to Portugal than avoiding a potential semifinals match against Argentina (instead of US/Ghana/South Korea/Uruguay).
-
-16 by South Korea in 1954, and they only played two games also. Lost to Hungary 9-0 and Turkey 7-0. They avoided eventual champion West Germany, which scored 25 goals in 6 games so they likely would have been over 20. The 16 goals are also the most allowed in a World Cup. EDIT: Which is the foul that Brazil should have been red carded for. I've been paying more attention to the other game. Flagrant hand ball on a breakaway. Perhaps not a true "obvious" scoring opportunity, but it sure looked like it would have been a great chance had the ball been allowed to go through.

How did they even qualify, saber-rattling? They advanced out of a final group round with South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and UAE with a 3-3-2 record. They were with South Korea, Jordan, and Turkmenistan in round 3. And their 1st round matches were against Mongolia.
-
Anyone know the record for the lowest goal differential in the group stage? North Korea currently sits at -10.
-
That was a dive, but Portugal can't be happy with the ref right now. Should be 11 v. 10.

Tomorrow's action: Group G North Korea (0 points, -8) vs. Ivory Coast (1 points, -2) Brazil (6 points, +3) vs. Portugal (4 points, +7) Ivory Coast would have to win BIG to advance. But hey, wouldn't that be fun to watch? The real question, though, is who wins the group. Group H Switzerland (3 points, 0) vs. Honduras (0 points, -3) Chile (6 points, +2) vs. Spain (3 points, +1) Switzerland may have a legitimate chance of knocking Spain out of the tournament. Spain can also win the group with a victory over Chile and a point differential advantage over Switzerland, though.

A must watch video:

Pretty sure the answer is no. I posted this a little earlier, though:
-
Japan looking good to advance with a wonderful free kick to put them up 2-0.
-
Denmark on life support.

YES

Oh come on.

Wrong.

BWAHAHAHAHA

Nope. And it's glorious.

Damn. Tuned in a minute after the goal.

This year, the Fire have at least 8 on channel 50, 9 on Comcast SportsNet Chicago, 5 on ESPN/2, 6 on Fox Soccer Channel, and 4 on TeleFutura

Here's the first reaction from inside the stadium that I've seen. Also, some ESPN3 numbers:

I was just coming here to post .

I have yet to see that. By the way, how about Ian Darke's call? Just a perfect soundtrack to the goal. Wonderful build up.
