The 'diver' doesn't seem to be making much of an impression on the game thus far

Spain triumph by the only goal....bye bye 'diver'

[goldorak]

The final will be the Netherlands vs Spain.
Brasil eliminated by the orange team, and Argentina eliminated by Germany who will be eliminated by Spain.
What do the english bookmakers say ?

Final : Netherlands vs Spain
3 rd and 4 th : Uruguay vs Germany

"Portugal atacks and Spain scores", as my old godfather used to say! But it's not only the "diver" (joao pinto was a much more diver then ronaldo...) it was the coach and not doing anything during all the games that we played...

They manage to score in the time that the first team to do it, would win the match!
Now, that red card???

Yep, I´m afraid.

Then the octopus and now German Coach Joachim Low picking his nose and eating it.

And of course German counter attack is like a blitzkrieg.

But, really, Low´s nose findings worried me most.

Let's wait what Paul will have to say on this.

With those nine brains of him, he knows 4.5 times more about football than you and me together.

God formed Adam from clay, and Löw forms his players from... well...

[Rhodes]

I really doubt your prediction....the bookmakers say:

Brazil 5/2
Spain 11/4
Argentina 9/2
Germany 13/2
Holland 7/1
Uruguy 16/1
Ghana 40/1
Paraguay 50/1

Yeah it makes sense, although this world cup is pretty strange.
I have this feeling that we will have at least a suprise in the semi finals, and maybe even in the final.
Brazil hasn't really played against a strong team until now, Holland will be their test. And I think they will fail because the orange team has a solid defense and plays as a team.
Uruguay finally plays a modern football and certainly can deal with Ghana.
Spain vs Paraguay : nothing to say. The south american team is not on the same level as the spanish one. The tecnical and talent is just too wide for Paraguay having a shot at the semifinals.
The big question mark is Germany vs Argentina (this should have been a final...).
I bet on Germany, although Argentina has a very very talented team.

Now, that red card???

We lose the game when our coach order Hugo Almeida be change, on the second half.

Ronaldo its a deep diver...true...(i prefer Nani as a player) every one knows when ronaldo plays in the Portuguese selection dont make nothing, only sad figures! But in the spain team there is some grasshopers witch with a little wind they are all aways fallin down special in front of the judge.

The red card...what you think? all the judges in the field are from Argentina...if this fact its all right why they didnt put in this game all judges from Portugal!?

Well done...FIFA!

[Jimbuna]

It is always difficult to accept the referee and linesman choices but all that FIFA can do is ensure they are from a different country to those playing the match.

The rest is down to professionalism and trust.

Hii Jim

I accept the final score...specialy the second half, after the spanish goal (they are saying its off side i dont know...but if it is true...its not possible to happen in a Foothball world championship). And if this situations happened its because the lack of experience from the judges and in this stage of the championship the judges must be choosen from countries witch they respective teams are all ready out the championship.

In my opinion the main error of the Portuguese Team lost this crucial game against Spain its a strategical when the Portuguese coach take out Hugo Almeida wich it was playing very very well pressing the spanish defence.

Second if Ronaldo its not playing...must have the courage to put another player in his place and periode, we dont wont to now if he is a star or not if i dont play another player must to to his place "pronto".

For last id the like to send my "soludos" to all Spanish here in the Subsim for the great game they made specialy on the second half...Good job!

P.S. The only away to see Portugal World Champion...its when José Mourinho be very very old and and when he win everithing its possible to win in this world, choose to be the Portuguese Coach, from the Portuguese Team! lolol

It wasn't an offside, at least not clearly enough to put any blame on the refs. In this case we're talking about a margin of a few centimeters, and even with the still pics and slow-mos I wouldn't dare to say it was "definitely" one way or another.

The red card in the end was just...
Luckily it didn't end up meaning much, but it was still very unsportsmanlike behaviour from the Spanish player in question(Capdevila?). I hope Sepp and the guys re-visit that situation and drop a penalty on him.
