    Gyan should have ended the game, what an idiot, he was looking at the goal instead of the ball. Well my adopted team is out.....I'm supporting Germany now.

    I guess we should get rid of goaltending in basketball. Survival of the fittest there too, right?

    LOVE the Uruguayan goalkeeper. ULTIMATE sacrifice... guessing/stopping correctly. I like that.

    After Uruguay's 4th, the Ghanans had already missed two and Ghana can't reach them. They don't have to shoot anymore. :eek:

    Wow.

    What a game. Ghana had too many chances and they failed to capitalize on them. They played well but the better team won.

    It's ok, though. The Dutch are going to whoop that ass.

    Um, yes.

    It's an obvious goal.

    Why do you think we have goaltending in basketball? That would literally be like Yao sticking his hand into the rim and pushing shots out.

    What about intentionally fouling to set up free throws?

    It's a free kick. He should have put it in but choked instead.

    If points in basketball were that hard to come by, probably.

    To me, there should be a rule where if its going to be a goal, you can use your hand purposely to disallow the goal.

    It's like pass interference in the NFL. You want to start awarding automatic TDs?

    I agree, a handball on the line of the goal should be an automatic goal.

    So? How is intentionally fouling someone the same as cheating an obvious goal?

    Soccer does not equal basketball. Fouling does not equal goaltending.

    There was no question that was a goal. Really disappointed in how soccer polices itself.
