    Sounds right if the other score stays the same.

    And there was another golden chance blown by Nigeria.

    how so? Player had his arms down and didn't even know the ball hit him. Completely incidental.

    South Korea cannot wait for the whistles to blow. They'll be so lucky to advance. The way this game has played out, Nigeria seems like it should have 4 goals.

    If teams are tied in points and GD, GS is the tie-breaker, I think.

    Update: http://www.livescore.com/worldcup/rules/

    TIE-BREAKER RULES :
    If two or more teams finish equal on points after all the group matches have been played, the following criteria shall be applied to determine the ranking :


    (1) Goal difference in all the group matches.
    (2) Greater number of goals scored in all the group matches.
    (3) Greater number of points obtained in the matches between the teams in question.
    (4) Goal difference resulting from the matches between the teams in question (if more than two teams finish equal after applying above criteria).
    (5) Greater number of goals scored in the matches between the teams in question (if more than two teams finish equal after applying above criteria).
    (6) A drawing of lots by the Organising Committee.

    Why don't the South Korean defenders just clear the ball out? They've constantly been beat by the Nigerian players in one-on-one situations, yet they continue to dribble and almost give up the ball in deep territory.

    Not so sure. His arm is half raised at the waist. Regardless, ref could blow the whistle at that situation. it's just no one saw it.

    Messi is really having a frustrating WC so far, despite Argentina's overall success.

    If anything, that handball saved the initial header from being a goal. Good no-call to allow them to play it out.

    Give Messi the assist because his rocket set up the easy one.

    :eek: Holy moley, it's getting easier and easier for Uruguay... first Greece, then S. Korea, and now it can be Nigeria.

    I'm hating Mexico's loss even more. Ouch and ouch more. :(
