OH, JMU DJ, I think that it was complete luck and this soccer thing is nothing more than some fad.

Confirmed that in addition to Pepe, Portugal will be without Coentrão and Almeida for the US game. Will miss Coentrão for the remainder of the WC with a groin injury and Almeida for the group stage.

Korea Russia has been very entertaining the last 15 min or so since I turned it on.

Korea gets a cheap goal when the Russian goalie took his eyes off a chest high shot too soon and it went right through his hand.

Russia subs at that point and just a couple minutes later he scores an equalizer after a mad scramble in the box

There were actually a lot of highlights and it was an exciting game. It was probably the best game of the World Cup so far.

Again, if you don't like soccer... why bother posting in this thread or telling everyone how much you don't like the sport?

Not to take points away from DancingMonarch...but I can see Clenz is posting play by play again.

What a fucking commie.

The Russian goalie had a couple of times when he could not hold on to the ball earlier in the game. He did not play well at all and that goal was worse than Robert Green's bad play against the US 4 years ago.

Based on the stats it looks like Russia-SK is another snoozer.
Nah, it was much better than the Iran-Nigeria game - a lot of up and down action. South Korea is known for that, they really play with a lot of speed, although not necessarily a lot of skill at finishing. But the game was played with a lot of pace. The Iran-Nigeria game was just plodding.

Best comment I've seen from the Brazil-Mexico game yesterday:
America should hire Ochoa to sit on the border

He was just ridiculous all around. A few of those saves were shots right at him, but the rest were well placed like that Neymar header.

Also, I appreciate goal line technology even more now. Instead of having to sit through 50 Doritos/Bud Light/Johnsonville sausage commercials and 10 minutes of commentary, the goal line review results are instantaneous.

Cahill with a hell of a volley vs. Netherlands.

MLS well represented this World Cup thus far. :nod:

That's a sick goal by Cahill. Aussie's taking it to Netherlands in a 1-1- game with 55% possession. Who would have thought after the Chile-Aussie game and Spain-Netherlands game? Guess this is a letdown game for them.

Yeasssh, no wonder I've got radio silence from my Dutch friend.

Another (grainy) angle on that Cahill goal. Pure luck :lol:

Great game here with the Dutch pulling back even with an RVP goal.

Oh, and the one thing I do greatly dislike about soccer - both RVP and Cahill are out of their next matches because of the yellow cards they picked up this game (coupled with the yellow card each had in their first match). The card system, the straight to red occurrences (game's almost over once you go down a man for the game), and the carryover from one match to the next is just a mess. The one ref just has way too much power to impact not only the game he's reffing, but the games that come after it as well. Of all the things we've talked about, I think the cards should be changed.

89Jr is watching the game at the house of a friend who is Dutch. Told him to wear orange and cheer loudly.

If there were post game honors in the Mexico-Brazil game Ochoa would have won by a landslide!!!!!!!
