2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa

Or maybe not :smiley:

2-1

I suppose that’s not an unreasonable analysis, but only in the sense that the US have been better at finishing. England have created significantly more chances; they just can’t put them away. Like any number of great players before him, Wayne Rooney seems to come over all ordinary in World Cups.

Make that 2-2!

No… offside.
Looks a poor decision on replay, but I am a long way from the screen…

Wow, that was a very close call. I think it was a good call, though.

Dreading a bullshit call, a la Italy-Australia 2006, to force a tie. A tie should send Italy onward.

Admit it, you can see it happening too.

Edit: Not watching the game live, but if the refs just yanked an equalizing goal from Italy, I’m just stunned. Delighted, but stunned.

Well, a fourth goal wins me a decent wedge of cash so I don’t mind an equaliser :wink:

How was the Italian player attacking the Slovak goalkeeper in the net not an ejection for the Italian? The return punch was idiotic but the goal keeper did just get shoved into the net. Maybe I just don’t understand what the heck happened.

3-1, that’ll do me - nice profit AND Italy out :slight_smile:

That’s football!

Bye Bye now.

Wow, this is crazy. 3-1 Slovakia?!

Hmmm. I’ll just shut up till it’s over.

3-2? Did both teams pull their goalies?

3-2! I’ve never seen anything like this in the last 15 minutes of a game.

Crazy stuff. I’d had a bet on less than 4 goals in the match, expecting a quiet one. With 60 mins gone and only 1 goal, I hedged out, leaving a decent amount of cheap profit on 4+, as the odds were so high. Talk about nice timing.

0-0 final for Paraguay/NZ. Italy draws, they’re in.

And the other game finishes 0-0, eliminating the Kiwis and virtually clinching the group for Paraguay. South American teams remain unbeaten.

FT 3-2. Paraguay and Slovakia progress. Italy bottom. Ha ha!

</muntz>

Woohoo! Italy finishes bottom of the group. :smiley:

And that’s it. Italy’s out. Paraguay wins with Slovakia getting to play Holland next, in all likelihood.

What a finish. Absolutely stunned the Italian goal was waved off. Surprised Paraguay couldn’t get one past.
