    Brazil sucks. I don't think the players really care about this tournament.

    Wow easy hand ball missed but you know what Brazil got a call in their favor against Ecuador so it cancels out.

    If that's true, they're going to cost Dunga his job. Can't even get out of the first round in a group with Ecuador, Peru and Haiti?

    Peru literally punched the ball into the goal.

    Brazil was playing with fire to begin with not playing hard.

    And Peru deserved a penalty kick anyway. So I think it a fair result anyway. Peru has not missed the quarters for a long time.

    But review is so easy in soccer. Just give a central center 3 minutes of ongoing continuous play to correct a penalty. No need to even stop a game. Just keep playing until the center rewards a penalty or takes away a goal. It too easy.

    Barca said he could play either the Copa or the Olympics...not both. Brazil chose the Olympics since it's the only thing they've never won.

    Uruguay did the same

    Wow, clear hand ball - should have video replay on all goals.

    USA wins the group but still has to play the better team in the knockout round...

    The people calling the game didn't even have Brazil losing as an option that's why I asked what would happen if Peru wins.

    Watching it live I could not tell, nor do I think the game announcers had any idea either, so I could see why the ref would have been struggling with it too.

    Lol "The hand of God" or the "hand of a peasant"

    Never thought it would happen again in today's game

    The organization is trailing the UEFA and others in technology jesus.

    Brazil has scored all their goals in their 7-1 outing against Haiti

    No ammunition left

    I just realized Houston will host the semifinal match that could have Team USA.

    Any chance that abomination of a field is addressed by Thursday?

    Lots of rain forecast this week...

    but with your criteria then the Ecuador non-goal (GK own goal) would have not even been video replayed because it was ruled out of play prior.

    We play in Seattle, so they have a little more time, would love it if the USA gets the semis in Houston - would go for sure.

    It would be against Argentia. Good luck with that.

    Although it would freaking awesome to see Messi.
