2010 FIFA World Cup
- Thread starter jeff7id
- Start date
Edit (Saw the news later - reason is the other Spanish footballers ran into penalty area before the penalty was kicked.
But the Para did the same and their penalty was not retaken. )
Spain deserve to win this one.
Paraguay lost concentration in last quarter of game and few times they pass the ball to Spain or pass the ball too far for their own player who cannot run to it.
Eh, now got no chance to see the Para model run in nude.

Another controversial game. Paraguay have a legitimate goal disallowed. Spain penalty retake when players barge into the box before the ball is kicked. But Paraguay did not get a retake when the same happened.
This WC is just full of strange refereeing decisions.

Every WC, referees made 'strange' decisions. Remember 'hand of god'?
Anyway, winning WC requires supreme fitness & good teamwork. Notice the teams with the biggest stars have all gone home.......the stars like messi, kaka, ronaldo, rooney. Why stars cannot perform is because the national teams are all set up for team effort. Whereas, EPL clubs or Real Madrid are set up for star players to perform so they can get more revenue from marketing. This means star players are made to appear better than what they are really capable of.

FIFA World Cup 2010 - Netherlands vs Uruguay Semifinal Preview
Injuries and Penalties/Suspensions - Suarez Out For Uruguay
Uruguay faces some significant losses through injury and suspension for this game putting coach Óscar Tabárez in a tough spot. Midfielder Nicolas Lodeiro was ruled out with a right foot injury earlier today, and defender and team captain Diego Lugano is also doubtful. Uruguay also has two suspensions to be served this game, Jorge Ciro Fucile received a second yellow card in the Ghana game and is suspended for the semifinal match as is Luis Suarez for his red card for an intentional hand ball.
The Dutch are much better off injury-wise with injured striker Robin van Persie being cleared to play and no significant injuries to starters. The Dutch, however, do have four players with yellow cards, and midfielder Nigel de Jong is suspended after receiving his second yellow against Brazil, so Netherlands coach Bert van Marwijk will have his substitute list close to hand.
I predict that Netherlands will defeat Uruguay this time.

FIFA World Cup 2010 - Germany vs Spain Semifinal Preview
Injuries and Penalties/Suspensions
Spain is suffering from a number of minor injuries but with the possible exception of the shoulder of midfielder Cesc Fabregas, all of the injuries are relatively minor and do not look to keep anyone out of the semifinal match. Defender Gerard Piqué and midfielder Sergio Busquets received yellow cards in the Paraguay game and must play with caution to avoid another card and suspension.
The only bad news for Germany came near the end of the first half, when a hand ball called on Thomas Müller earned the attacker a yellow card and, having carried a card into this match, a suspension for Wednesday's semifinal.

No, I think the referee was correct:
If Spanish players move prematurely and Para keeper was beaten and ball goes in. No count. Because the Spanish players distracted the Para keeper.
If Para players move prematurely and the Spanish keeper saves and holds on to the ball. Count. Because though the Spanish keeper was distracted, he managed to save.
If referee disallowed the Spanish Save in spite of the Para distraction, then it is an injustice. Because the Para players would have been rewarded for trying to distract the Spanish keeper. Then they have another try to shoot the penalty that was already saved, in spite of distraction.

How about the disallowed goal?
i hope germany can win spain as i supported them for a long time ,
but i doubt they can get pass spain , spain is too strong for them ,
they play and move like a barcelona team , even great teams like portugal
struggled against spain . Spain just won germany 2 years ago in the
european cup final.

This world cup a bit unbalanced. Seems like one team has to go through alot more to reach final.
Holland got rid of Brazil while Spain got rid of Portugal but it is really the Germans that are bulldozing their way thru.
Germany vs England
Germany vs Argentina
Germany vs Spain
I would think Germany would deserved to be the World Champion but really do not want to see them win again. Can we have a new winner this time. Anyone of Spain, Holland or Uruguay would be a new country to lift the world cup.

Quote from SPORT.CO.UK:
However, the effort was ruled out for offside by Guatemalan referee Carlos Batres and Paraguay were left to rue the marginal decision......

After checking video, not sure if Fifa have to apologise to Para like they did for England and Mexico.
