What a turn of events. Cardozo and Gyan should form a support group.

Ian Darke isn't going to make it through this game.

That was pretty weak. Spain doesn't get the call there if the ref hadn't just given one the other way.

Villa earned that one. If he had stayed off to the side he wouldn't have drawn the call.

You could order over 50% of penalties to be retaken, if that one required it.

You will see three blown PKs in a one minute span.
But you will blow me first.

Villar's out of his mind right now. That was a fantastic save on Iniesta.

Cesc was tackled there. I can't believe that we could have had 4 kicks inside of a minute.

Can someone, if it is possible, describe what happened? I just turned it on after all the replays I guess.

Basically...no. You have to see it to believe it.

Quick summary: Pique holds Cardoza in the box, penalty...Casillas saves.
On the counter off the penalty, David Villa's held in the box, penalty...Alonso scored, but it's called back because someone was in the box as Xabi hit it.
Villar saves Xabi's second kick, rebound ends up in about 15 sets of feet, Cesc gets tackled in the box, no call.

It seems like 9 out of 10 times set/corner kicks are short, low and thus totally ineffective.
Is it the ball?

Generally, you will see 3 blown PKs in a row .3% of the time.
Edit - Oh, I see one of them actually went in.

I've read on many places (this probably being one of them) that the players in the early matches were hitting everything long, and now are likely trying to compensate for the ball and the elevation (in some places).

I doubt it because the major complaint about the ball is that it flies uncontrolably. On corners, the problem would be the ball sailing wide, not landing limply in the box.

OK, here is the ESPN recap:
Let's recap. Paraguay gets a PK, Cardozo stopped by Casillas. Spain immediately gets a PK of their own, taken by Xabi Alonso, who scored, but it's disallowed for encroachment. On the retake, Villar makes the save. All to say, ZERO-FRIGGING-ZERO.

I don't see how Paraguay makes it to PK at 0-0.

I think players are trying to compensate for the ball's desire to sail when they put corners on the usual trajectories.
edit: ah, beaten by Catcher Block.
