wc KO day 4:: bow of burning goald

[Jograves 357]

Christ, this is going to be 0-0 all the way until pens, isn't it. 

[ConferenceRoom 6144]

Worst game of the tournament. Maybe second worst to France v. Denmark.

I'm not sure that either of these teams deserve to be in the quarterfinals.

Correct. We should vote Japan in and these two out.

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

Forsburg going down prior to contact. Very Neymar like.

[Art Vandelay 1712]

Finally. Goal Sweden.

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

Figures it's a deflection

[Jograves 357]

Just the kind of goal this game deserved.

[Captain Ron 12887]

Hopefully that will open up the action with Switzerland needing an equalizer in the next 20+.

[The Tower 367]

another own goal 

[PittsburghTiger 6192]

Rooting for Sweden. Glad to see the goal.

Except the shot was on target, so the deflection still goes to the shooter.

[Buzzrock 14935]

Man this is not pretty soccer

it is debatable whether the swiss's kick had any impact on the goal but technically, you are correct.

spain/russia will not be topped as biggest shitshow; poland/japan was also much worse than this.

this game is 2 teams with different strengths canceling each other out, giving the appearance of crap.

both are actually playing to win to my eyes, unlike japan, spain, france and denmark in the above examples.

[ConferenceRoom 6144]

Yes, both teams are playing positively so that's a plus. I didn't get to see Poland/Japan. 

[AUS-97HORN 11812]

big save by the swedish team.... and a russian sniper got one

[PittsburghTiger 6192]

I'm trying to decide if the whining in this one is worse than whining done by latin players/teams.

[InkaUtexas 26017]

Maybe its the color yellow?

Could be!

[AUS-97HORN 11812]

3 mins of stoppage time

[AUS-97HORN 11812]

OMG- fantstic save by the swedish keeper

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

That was close.

[Jograves 357]

That's a nice save. Got down quickly. 

[ConferenceRoom 6144]

That might have been it.

[PittsburghTiger 6192]

Yeah, that shot was dangerous.

[Captain Ron 12887]

Nice save!

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

wow...hell of a save

[Captain Ron 12887]

Fucking awesome save - it spared us the potential of 30 more minutes of this shit.

[AUS-97HORN 11812]

LOL a   take down     PK!!

[InkaUtexas 26017]

damn, penalty! 

[PittsburghTiger 6192]

PK!

[AUS-97HORN 11812]

red card as well

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

bwahaha...

[Captain Ron 12887]

I was going to say, that was a penalty.

I prefer 30 more minutes of any cup game to no cup game. 

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

Game, Swedish Fish.

[Jograves 357]

I think that's outside the box.

[ConferenceRoom 6144]

Still confused as to why the Danish player didn't see red in the exact same situation.

They just answered it: legitimate attempt on the ball = yellow can be given.

Yup - not playing the ball.

[Dr Fear 1268]

I got over 2 2nd half goals here....

[AUS-97HORN 11812]

lol, this is stupid.  its a continuing foul into the box,  its a freaking PK

[Kringelbert Fishtybuns 944]

Card should stand.  Kick outside.

This isn't the fucking NBA.

He tried to play the ball is the explanation I've heard.

and he barely fucking touched him. don't even think its a foul. 

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

So the Red card means he won't be eligible for the rest of the tournament, right? 

[tokamak 6432]

Wait am I an idiot? I don't see the penalty. Looked like the Swedish guy just stumbled and fell on his own.

[Captain Ron 12887]

And if that's outside the box, it's a red no question.

[Hagbard Celine 10897]

Sweden had too much size for Suisse to cope with.  The number of blocked shots and failed/contested crosses in the air combined has to be close to 50 in this match.  At risk of poking the soccer gods i won't contemplate/state the upshot of this.
