i think ref's bad calls are the way of football...it causes drama that no other sports can. however i think that the ref's bad calls should be disciplined after the game, same with divers...they can fool the ref during the game but receive a red card for diving and discipline the ref for falling for it.

Spain live on ESPN player via the web, quality is pretty damn good!

 

Nice! Thanks Mike!

 

Wow! Nice goal by Spain just as I was typing that last response!

 

after years of criticism, espn finally does soccer/world cup and i've been loving their coverage on espn3.com

 

okay that portugal/korea game was a joke

 

I actually went for this thread just to see if someone made a gif out of this BS.

I used to play soccer in high school, and was really into it. Rain or shine you'd see me and my friends at the soccer field after school. When my grandma brought me to Austria for a vacation, I came back home with soccer gear. That interest went downhill when I saw EUFA games with this acting nonsense.

Hopefully they make changes to address this.

 

Yeah, what was that? I got bored watching that game.

Brazil will give Portugal well deserved fight.

 

nk had some good chances in the first half but everything went down hill for them the second half.
i thought it was a fun game to watch lol

 

they probably just gave up as they knew the end was near.....

 

The firing squad will be waiting for them at the airport.
Spain played good. Looks like they'll be on their way to the next round.
Friday's Portugal-Brazil match should be a good one,without Kaka though.

 

kaka being off pisses me off...seriously FIFA, change the fcking rules to punish shady players.

 

there are rules in place for flopping, but I don't think I have ever seen someone receive a card for it.

its complete BS when people can get away with crap like that, and Kaka is sent off for the next match cause of that joker.

 

here are some good ones. You actually see players getting yellow cards for their theatrics.

 

i just heard from korean news that, north korea aired the portugal match live for the first time in their history (vs brazil was recorded and edited). too bad they lost 0-7. i bet dear leader is pissed.
