    Those videos are awesome. I love the one where the keeper is injured and the player catches the ball. That is amazing to me.

    Definitely not in American pro sports anyway. I've seen a lot of the same sort of stuff while playing pickup ball. Maybe we should let the players call their own fouls in the NBA??? Hmmm...

    Perhaps Fabregas will see what will happen when he moves to Barcelona... Say hello to the bench, mate.

    Sure they played well but they couldn't finish. They could prance around and look good all they want but if they don't score than who cares how much possession or how good they looked. I do hope they get out the group and end up playing Brazil right away. That could be interesting

    So I was watching some replays of the swiss score on spain, and it seemed like the spanish keeper actually knocked it in. Any agreement here?

    Re: Soccer sucks.

    Ratings are double what they were 4 years ago so far.

    Yeah, deffo a media myth that it's catching on.

    Deal with it fucko ;)

    PPS the tournament has been pretty shit so far and very dizpointing. Not enough goals is never the problem as some would like to simplify.

    It's the lack of chances, good attacking football, passing, etc.

    the ball bounces as if it's on artificial turf and is flying into row Z on any shot from outside the box.

    hoping the 2nd round of games (and so far so good) get this tournament turned around.

    Hopefully Slovenia get AIDS this week :cool:

    Re: Official World Cup Thread:

    Nope, I originally thought that but to me it still comes off of Fernandes. It is very close but I definitely see Fernandes make complete contact instead of Casillas.

    If that wasn't a goal, Casillas would of been sent-off and Swizterland woud of been given a penalty. That was a horrendous tackle at first.
