Chiellini clearly shouldered Saurez in the face, should have been sent of for it

 

[smackababy]

I really hope Ivory Coast wins and goes through. They definitely deserve it. They've played very well. They should beat Greece, but stranger things have happened.

Did you watch the same football match as everyone else? 😵

 

[SKORPI0]

First 20 minutes.

Colombia 1- Japan 0.
Greece 0-Ivory Coast 0.

 

[Zargon]

Which effectively might as well be the same thing as ignoring it.

yes that's exactly my point. we'll see how much FIFA likes Uruguay over this

if this was a german player nothing would be done till afterwords

 

[smackababy]

First 20 minutes.

Colombia 1- Japan 0.
Greece 0-Ivory Coast 0.

Columbia Japan is pretty much meaningless. Japan can only hope they can squeak out a tie, otherwise, all they will have shamed their families, and you know what that means.

 

[Jodell88]

Greece had to substitute their goalkeeper because of injury.

 

[Slew Foot]

Lol. Japan scores with 1 second left in injury time

 

[ShadowOfMyself]

Great first half in Japan - Colombia, Japan going all out since they know they have to win it
Ive noticed games tend to be a lot better when you dont have european teams in them.. European teams tend to be much more tactical and defensive, which while effective, isnt good for the spectacle

 

[smackababy]

If Japan and Greece somehow both win, Japan is the likely advancing team, as their GD is only -1 compared to Greece's -3. Interesting!


Also, Columbia has taken a total of 3 shots in the first half, one of which was on target and a goal... Penalty kicks generally are.

 

[SKORPI0]

56 minutes
Colombia 2- Japan 1
Greece 1-Ivory Coast 0

 

[ShadowOfMyself]

What a goal by James Rodrigez!! Absolutely brilliant

 

[KeithTalent]

Looks like Ivory Coast and Colombia. Too bad for Japan, but they honestly never looked very good throughout the tournament.

[WelshBloke]

Haha, that is amazing. I wish I would have known I could bet on that! 😀

You can bet on nearly anything, you just have to get the bookies to agree on the odds.

 

[ShadowOfMyself]

Fuuuuuuuck Greece just scored... Penalty kick... You have to be shitting me
I hate Greece with a passion, aside from Italy they play the most boring football ever

Hoping they get trounced by Costa Rica in the next game

 

[Artorias]

WOW Ivory Coast just got robbed, its shocking at how many bad calls have been made so far, there has to be mandatory video replay in the box for fouls.

 

[smackababy]

Japan looked like they were doing really good in the first half. But after that, the flood gates opened and Columbia just kept scoring.

And Greece picks up a stoppage time goal!

 

[Anubis]

Norwegian. Will Suarez bite an opponent? Yes. They bet 32 kronor. At 175:1 odds they won 5,600.

Haven't read any Norwegian in about 20 years....so I am sure i am missing something.

~830 USD if google is telling the truth

 

[smackababy]

Was the penalty really that BS? I can only see the game cast and that it happened.

The player clipped their own heels, no contact by the Ivory Coast defender.

You just had to say it huh. God damnit.

 

[smackababy]

That sucks. Definitely robbed then. =(

Damn, I really wanted Ivory Coast to go through. They have been playing pretty well.

 

[dbk]

there was contact..he pulled back to kick the ball but then foot got caught by the defender's leg

 

[KeithTalent]

Anyone have an animated gif of the challenge? I missed the later games.
