    Even the Red Sox have won 2 World Series in the last 6 years. Spain lulls you into thinking they're not playing that well, then BAM, they've just scored 2 goals and you can't get the ball from them. Spain vs. Ger/Arg is going to be a very very good game.

    I blame Kaka, Felipe Melo on Brazil's loss.

    They were horrible.

    FIFA don't mess around, yo. Stop punishing players. You won't gain anything.

    M U N T A R I !!!!!!!!!!

    They should have played him earlier, both coach and player were putting their egos before the game.

    It seemed like all his moves were in slow motion, great shot though, he's known to score goals like that.

    Bad goalkeeping. Have to be ready for a shot from that kind of distance.

    :eek: I left my office thinking the half was done... and "SAS!": golazo.
    Not really. :eek: Homeboy hit the ball and was behind a defender and a teammate, and the ball cleared them... actually it was the fault of the defender for not marking him up, and the other one for not trying to stop the shot. Don't you agree?

    He was ready for it, he just misjudged it and went the wrong way. Once you have your momentum going one way it's tough to stop and go the opposite direction.

    I just looked at the super slo mo on the DVR. Looks like the curve confused the keeper cause he took his first step to the his right.

    No... You should watch the replay. The ball appeared to be headed for the far post then changed direction midair. The keeper had started off to his right and couldn't recover in time. It was simply a sensational goal.

    Yeah, yeah I agree. I looked at the replay a couple of more times. Very powerful shot and curve.
