sucks for Nigeria they were dominating until that dude go carded

 

[bigrash]

Yup, I thought they were playing pretty good too.

maradona needs to buy suits in the right size.

This Greece-Nigeria game is getting pretty interesting.

I missed the card. I was brushing my teeth and came out to see the guy walking off with his jersey over his head. 🙁

What happened? Was it pretty cut and dry? I picked Nigeria to win, but that's not going to happen now.

Ref blew the whistle for something (don't remember what) so the Greek player caught the ball with his hands, which the Nigerian player responded to by pushing then kicking(not hard) the Greek player.

Hmm, lame, but thanks. I'll have to check it out later.

It's all over now, even though Nigeria has had some decent pressure for a short-handed team.

the kick wasn't really violent but it was intentional and studs up into the knee area. The greek dude sold it but either way it was going to be a red for intentionally kicking someone with your studs. + it was after play was stopped. was really just a dumb move

I didn't see it, did he deserve it? probably, but what's ATOT take on this?

Forlan is awesome.

🙂

I hope France fail against Mexico tomorrow. Would love to see them get eliminated, as they cheated their way into the tournament anyway.

France is out ...I would hate to see them advance.

Yeah, can't do stupid crap like that. A real shame considering how strong they looked up until that point.

So...France vs. Mexico. I picked a draw. :hmm:

My neighbours? I don't actually live in Spain (sure wish I did). :hmm:

I just think France is a bit overrated and Mexico looked pretty decent in their last match. We'll see.

go mexico

 

[KMFJD]

Since all of my picks have gone wrong today, Go Mexico!

 

[Zargon]

almost that time!!

 

[bigrash]

Both teams look evenly matched. I would say that Mexico is a little bit more aggresive than France right now.

 

[Zargon]

good play from both sides

 

[KeithTalent]

Good game so far. Lots of action.

Stupid Nigerian for that red card.
