Are you saying that it was not red-card worthy?Andrea wrote:
Moreno strikes again, red card from nowhere.
I have nothing to say except that I'm disgusted.
Oh cmon, the red card was harsh. And how can you send off a player for that and keep Suarez in game after THAT.Snepif wrote:

Also, the referee was heavily in Italy's favour the whole damn time, so c'mon FIFA, keep bringing your corrupt referees
1 penalty not given for Uruguay = 1 invented red card to Italy (that was a pure yellow, we'd see 2/3 red card per match if that was red worthy)Snepif wrote:

What are you even saying, 5 mins are normal in such case and the referee extended to 6 because Muslera wasted a minute to kick a ball (this happens often, not gonna complain).Snepif wrote:
If you think that was not red card worthy, you have never played a football match.
Well judging by your country's performance... that might be very true indeed..
Oh and the referee not giving 3 fouls to Uruguay in the last minutes and extending the match more than the 5 mins, etc etc...
Then again, I rarely saw something like this happening in Europe, but we knew that this referee was strict and we should have expected thatSnepif wrote:
My dear, in football, you can't go to the ball with your foot in a vertical position, your foot's tip must be down making your foot horizontal, if not, it's a severe foul, and if it hits the other guy it's 100% red worthy. We call it plancha here and it's foul even if it doesn't hit the guy, so imagine what happens if it does. You can't approach the ball in an agressive position towards the other player.
He didn't even go for the ball, lol... you should really start playing some footballDeimos wrote:

Anyway it was a close and kinda ugly match, ggwp

that's okay, the last 8 years were heavily dominated by european teams, and europe still has some presence in the round of 16.SpeechClass wrote:

why did i expect any classiness from americans? silly me
we played a dominant 1:0, and only let the US gt few chances. the referee could've given more yellow cards for the US tackle game, but it didnÄ't matter much in the end.
tldr hooray germany \o/
Yep this is true. The idiots in that picture are definitely the minority but sadly the idiots are the loudest. I'm just happy we made it out of that difficult group; no one expected much from us but we did it anyway.Tanzklaue wrote:
it's a minority, most US people are glad they advanced to the knockoutstage.
klinsmann is underrated, both as player and as trainer. he laid the foundation for the german team you see today and he made the US a real soccer team. i hope you get far in the tournament, though argentina and the netherlands in your bracket are pretty brutal.Kanye West wrote:

doesn't europe already have almost half the spots anyway?
Yeah we weren't very impressive this time but nor were Africa. I honestly expected Japan to progress from the group, especially when Honda fired in that opener against CIV. If they hadn't been so woeful against Greece they could've easily passed through. I genuinely think that if we (Australia) were in that same group as Japan we'd have progressed, taking into account how we performed against Chile and the Dutch, but that's the difference between finishing first and second in the qualification group.bmin11 wrote:
We should decrease the Asian spot to 3 and give it to Europe

I think Costa Rica, Germany, and France are the surest shoo-ins for quarterfinals. The rest look like they could go either way to varying degrees.Tanzklaue wrote:
people who say that costa rica will lose to greece either don't know how terrible greece is or how good costa rica is atm.
costa rica beat uruguayand italy and drawed england. meanwhile greece barely squeezed through with their only win against the ivory coast (who are completely overrated btw) and a draw against japan.
he's doing good though, gotta admit thatLaVolpe024 wrote:
