Running, all-purpose World Cup thread

Thanks, Tommy!

 

Great chance for Henry, and he fucked it up by trying to get cute.

 

That was a foul.

 

Now doubledown can back off, cause THAT was a foul in the box.

 

I'll applaud the official for not calling the obvious foul in the box. Now everything's back to even.

 

Agreed. That one definitely was a foul.

 

is italy on the field

 

Apparently Totti's malaise has spread for the time being.

 

Soccer, pleading soccer ignorance here. Does France's sub of Vieira for injury count as one of their subs for the match?


OH, THE OFFSIDES CALL!

 

WOW

 

Damn, Henry had another chance and it was a weak shot.

 

I'll back off when the next person who wallows on the ground for five minutes is actually injured.

I can appreciate the athleticsm shown here. But all the flopping makes me wanna puke, and I couldn't care less who wins this thing. Its obvious these guys are able to fool officials constantly with all the flopping.. why not add a second referee to keep tabs on things??
