Wow.....what a finish.

Tyler stole the words out of my mouth, that was Donovan-esque.

[Cnasty]

Yea I was going to say, de ja vu!

Hell of a goal.

[jsence2]

I don't know if it's the ball, this pitch (they said it's hard as rocks), or a combination of the two, but I've never seen Brazil make so many passes that are short and totally miss the target. Usually they rip teams apart with their counter-attack passing....they could have 3 or 4 goals by now if some of these passes were finding their target.

That said, this has been a very entertaining match despite the low score.

WOW!!!

Nice bit of skill, but it becomes easier to do when you use your hand

Arm, hand, wrist, elbow--it's all HANDBALL lol.

EDIT: after further review, he did it TWICE lol. He's the new Thierry Henry

[jsence2]

Ugh, kicking myself for not buying Elano before this round.

At least Kaka got me an assist...now I need Maicon to get me something and Cesar to keep a clean sheet, and I should move into the top 1000 in the world in Soccernet's WC Fantasy Manager

EDIT: Figures I would jinx myself, there went my clean sheet points for Cesar and Maicon.

[Hoos]

This is getting good.

[Seeitsaveit13]

I feel bad for KaKa'. That wasn't deserving of a 2nd yellow. damn faker

[nick]

correct me if im wrong but that red card can be revoked after the match? I swear I've heard that before if its a terrible call

[Cnasty]

Give me a pussy baseball player of these even bigger pussies any day of the week.

Try and defend how these idiots flop around like they have been sniped from a bell tower.

Dont they know the replays will show 10 times after the flop? Its freakin ridiculous.

[kdog36]

i agree

I am trying to see where you are comparing these soccer acts to the baseball version.

The only one I can come up with is the money part of it. If so I agree but not on the field during the game, no way

[jsence2]

No.

Yellow cards cannot be appealed. Straight reds can, but not a second yellow that leads to a red.

They knew kaka was on a yellow, that's why he did that. It was a disgrace.

[Hoos]

The refereeing in soccer is just miserable. Let's look at the Kaka card. It's obvious that none of them saw the play. If they had, they would have known the IC player didn't get hit in the face.

Yet, not seeing the play, doesn't stop them from coming over and seeing some jackass rolling around on the field and assume that he must have been hit in the face. That brings out the yellow card and awards some clown for faking an injury. This shit encourages players to fake injuries and take dives.

There needs to be some sort of accountability. Why can't an independent council rewatch the matches and make the appropriate changes? Kaka should not have a 2nd yellow. The IC player should be given a post match red card. This would stop a bunch of the bullshit that plagues soccer.

cause its a brash generalization. and you love baseball where someone is tough for throwing a ball at a player. obviously its fucking dumb when they overact like they have been killed but "god soccer players are pussies" is a joke

[Cnasty]

And so are you for taking my comment as meaning EVERY single one.

It was during the match, where everyone was commenting, and it was the topic at hand.

Sorry I didnt go Timbwa Congo Jerome from Ivory Coast is a pussy.

Good lord, simma down Trendon Jr.
