SHould have been a direct kick outside the box for Uruguay

Yep. Cutting across the attacker, missing the ball, and catching the attacker is still a foul even if the attacker embellishes.

[Ahriman]

Yeah, they should start flopping and openly crying like Uruguay.

They will in about 20 minutes.

Re-watch the last 20 minutes of extra time in the US-Ghana game and get back to us.

[Hendu's Gait]

if you're not flopping, you're not trying

Yes, I watched it.

Not sure how this has anything to do with this game. They're not dicking around today.

But, yeah, Will's right...they're from a bigger country! Fuck them!

EDIT - Holy shit! What a shot!

Beautiful from Forlan.

[Jed Zeppelin]

Great shot.

[EastCoasterOutWest]

FUCK YES!

[Hendu's Gait]

Nice shot, to say the least.

[Bosoxen]

HO-LY FUCK!

[Ahriman]

Filthy.

[bandito0]

Annnnnd the air goes right on out of the stadium.

What a pretty shot.

Ghana were falling all over the pitch to waste time. Flopping is flopping is flopping.

[Mystic Merlin]

What a sickened groan from the crowd.

Reminds me of Fenway after Vlad Guerrero's game-tying GS against Timlin in the '04 ALDS.

[Wills Eeks]

Man what a beautiful shot, he killed it. Now this will be a fun game again. Not a surprise Forlan was behind it.

[EP Sox Fan]

Forlan with the goalasso!

The Jubulani was moving all over the place on that one. It literally started one way and swerved back the opposite way.

[Rossox]

Jesus, that was a strike! Wow.

[Ahriman]

Forlan seems to be one of the few players to have figured out the mysteries of the Jabulani.

[Jed Zeppelin]

It's amazing to me how often the corner taker can't get it over the first man. Give your teammates a chance.

[Mystic Merlin]

Man, this ball moves like a fucking wiffleball from range. Both keepers seemingly caught off-guard by it at times.

[SeoulSoxFan]

Watch Ghana lose composure and make a dumb mistake or two. Uruguay is moving on by winning this match.

[Infield Infidel]

Ghana were falling all over the pitch to waste time. Flopping is flopping is flopping.

Yes, and their flopping was the reason the US couldn't finish any of 58 chances they had.

If only they had 62 chances, they'd have tied it!

[EP Sox Fan]

Perez lucky that wasn't a red. That tackle was De Jongesque

Going to be surprising if this finishes 11 on 11 the way things are going now.

[Ahriman]

I think everyone has been trying to compensate for the ball. If they put it where they normally do, the thing sails clear across the pitch.

[Mystic Merlin]

Lolwut

[gaelgirl]

Kingston fucked up there.

I didn't say they lost because Ghana were time wasting. The US would have done the same if they had scored. I'm just saying that implying Ghana are above diving is blatantly false.

[johnmd20]

Wow, gotta finish that.

[EastCoasterOutWest]

Have to finish that.

[SeoulSoxFan]

Hey Suarez - you could have done that LAST fucking game!

[Bosoxen]

I can't believe Suarez missed that.

[gaelgirl]

Wow, Uruguay really needed to convert that to a goal. Bad miss.

[Bosoxen]

This ref is letting Ghana get away with a whole lot of shit.

[shawnrbu]

Almost yanked Prince Boateng's drawers off.

[Bosoxen]

Almost yanked Prince Boateng's drawers off.

Yeah, and he dove two seconds later when there was no contact. If he'd gone down during the shorts-yanking, he might have gotten the penalty call.

[EastCoasterOutWest]

Go low Suarez. Go low.

[Ahriman]

"It's crazy time!" - Pablo Ramirez

[Bosoxen]

"It's crazy time!" - Pablo Ramirez

Yeah, I laughed at that.

[EastCoasterOutWest]

Forlan gets dead ball kicker of the tournament so far. Minus the odd corner, every ball he puts in has pace and looks threatening.

[Bosoxen]

And with one of the best goal scorers in the tournament (Suarez), it's easy to see why they're still in this.

[EastCoasterOutWest]

Not the time to be selfish.

[SeoulSoxFan]

Christ - you have Forlan and Suraez and you had to kick it over the post.

[Infield Infidel]

This game will be shown in every football academy's "Gray Arts" class

He just drills it, and it works. No sense trying to play the perfect ball with a ball that refuses to be played perfectly.

[EP Sox Fan]

Ghana just hanging on here. Uruguay with the clear run of play.

[Mystic Merlin]

Man, these guys look fucking tired.

[EastCoasterOutWest]

Time to wonder if the second extra time game in a row will have an effect on Ghana.

[Vinho Tinto]

Man, these guys look fucking tired.

Less than a week since Ghana had to play 120 vs the US. Will be interesting if they really hit the wall in extra time.

EDIT: Or what EastCoaster said.
