Italy vs USA

[Jai13]

omg. what a game. missed the first 10 mins of 2nd half though
who desevred to win??? imo was USA totaly outplayed itatlians when teams were even

 

[Gorbachioo]

what was the outcome?

 

[Jai13]

1-1

 

[Phooka]

1 - 1

Stoopid americans should have won.. they got 2 really stoopid red cards when they outnumbered italians 11 - 10... But Imo americans deserved too win

 

[Coldbeard]

One hell of a match that was! One of the most entertaining matches so far, although I was hoping the yanks would win, after playing 9 vs 10 for ages.

 

[LordjOX]

Yeah, excellent match. Well deserved to the americans for keeping the pressure although one players less!
And BOO to the italians for their dodgy play, that kind of football doesn't belong on a football field, but in a pigs den. That elbow in the face of McBride was just pure evil

aye, the elbow incident was a step to far and i hope fifa take it seriosuly.

that aside, was the most entertaining match so far

WHY IS A REFEREE WHO HAS BEEN SUSPENDED IN THE PAST BY HIS OWN FA FOR IRREGULARITIES WORKING IN A WORLD CUP?

Criminal elbowing- Red ofc
Sliding tackle from behind plays the player - yellow card to an already carded player - fair enough

last one :

Red ofc.

 

[Corran]

The tackle Joor showing was:

1) Two Footed
2) Studs showing
3) From behind
4) Dangerous

No matter what is said, a red card was the right decision there, there are some people that seem to not think so oO The angle that is shown there doesnt actually show how bad it was. It one of those that could easily break the ankle.

To be honest, I think most the decisions made by him were correct. Maybe he done things wrong in past but made good decisions on the sending offs. Yes he does like to book people alot, but tbh there are a lot of refs at the worldcup that are doing so. I think they being given some of the money teams are fined for the cards

think it shows it perfectly, 2 footed tackle from side/behind with studs into his planted foot (studs in ground and weight on it = not gonna move easy)

just plain nasty, could of easily broken something and deserved the red card

 

[Raven]

what a group this is turning out to be, at the start i would have thought italy and the czechs would walk it.

 

[Cozak]

the referee was fucking appauling imo.

 

[DavidH]

Goooo USA! Give smiley with american flag as well

 

[Blackjack]

The elbow was just retarded and totally unnecessary. If you watched it, the guy who threw the elbow actually gestured that the american was faking guess the blood gushing from his face might have been an indicator that the red card was the only was to go.

And that sliding tackle... Fook me! i'm glad that was not my ankle.

 

[[HB]Jpeg]

this group is gonan be a v tight grp ..

i wouldnt be suprised if the yanks beat ghana and czhechs beat italy .. and iirc that would leave all the teams in that grp with 4 pnts? might have a flutter at bookies n see what odds i get to see all 4 teams with 4 pnts each.

Well...i don't enjoy soccer.

Or watch soccer.

Or even -like- soccer.

IT DOESN'T MATTER who deserves to win. Winners win, losers don't.

Soccer! :england:

Whilst the cards were jutified in this case, on the whole im a bit concerned about refs giving free kicks and yellow cards for tackles that imo do not warrant it. I know its not the refs faults, its fifa's but its gonna end up being like Pro Ev where you touch the guy and its a free kick.

 

[Kaun_IA]

i still dont get why americans call they game FOOTBALL.... the hardly ever use feet... mostly its rugby or how ever its written

 

[Dandare]

Yeah me too, I like it when the underdogs get a look in and makes the world cup more exciting

Because American Football, was born out of rugby which in turn was born out of football. Years and years ago whilst playing football, a guy called William Webb Ellis picked up the ball and ran with it, and rugby was born

guess that also how the rugby tackle was formed when everyone started chasing him to get the ball back.
only bit they didnt keep in the game was the bloody good kicking they prolly all gave him when they caught up with the daft bugger
