Chile has the better keeper, but Brazil has the better strikers (but not the way they've played today).

I say the advantage is Brazil's, but when it comes to PKs, who knows...

Shit's about to get real.

I can't even imagine the pressure and tension the Brazilian players must be feeling; any player that misses will be condemned. That may work in Chile's favor.

Netherlands does not have a shot on goal yet. Almost did right before half but did not get it off.

Netherlands goalie had 1 save that may have looked good (and a couple of others) but it should have been easier. He has generally been playing like crap and has gotten very lucky since he has been out of position.

Mexico has completely fallen apart. Total collapse.

Can Ochoa save a nation in the PK?

edit: No.

Horrible game by the referee. That was a flop. He has missed so many fouls earlier in this game by both teams and decided to call this one.

It was a bad call, but not total BS. The defender stuck his foot out and didn't get the ball, Robbin did an Oscar worthy flop. I don't think the call should have been made, but I understand why it was made.

Was pulling for the backstrokers, but I think we can all agree that Dutch bimbos are way better to look at.

Is it just me, or do all Mexican women have giant asses and wear really bad jeans?

The fact that he let everything else go for both teams during the game made the call that much worse.

There also was no scoring chance there. The ref bailed Robbin out.

The best was the last round of CONCACAF qualifying. Mexico needed a draw, or a draw by the U.S., to advance to the WC.

With minutes left in both games, both Mexico and the U.S. were losing, which meant Mexico was about to be knocked out. Then the U.S. scored to tie up their game and the announcers went nuts. I couldn't understand them, by they were going crazy. And then the U.S. scored again, and the announcers ramped it up a notch.

It was almost as good as watching Sabado Gigante Internationale. :lol:
