It just struck me: how impressive of the US to hold the German juggernaut to 1-0.  :punk:

The US would have beaten Brazil 6-1 :P

That's Marshall logic. Herd fans would be proud.

To my untrained eye, a pretty good game so far.

Mascherano looked like he might have gotten a concussion. Is that really a good idea to play on? Some player (can't remember who) continued in the group phase after being unconscious for a few seconds. That seemed unreasonably dangerous.

Yes.  I was making fun of the idea we should be proud we lost :lol:

But Yi was to.

I'm watching this on my laptop.

My flatmate is watching an anime on the TV. He won't interrupt it for a LIVE game :ultra: :weep:
Let's bomb Russia!

One of the admittedly very minor nitpicks of the world cup was that Argentina, Germany and the Netherlands were not playing in their traditional colors. This game at least Argentina and the Netherlands are back in their usual colors. :)

Brazil also played with their traditional colours yesterday. Little good it did for them.

Maybe they'll go back to white now.

I was serious.  If I lost a round of golf to Tiger Woods by 4 strokes I would think I was God on Earth.

Can someone tell me what "infringement" is?

The game is not as enjoyable for me as yesterday's game.  :P

Isn't that just a fancy word for foul? 

Admiral Yi

Is it?  My question was an honest one.  On the last Argentine free kick the commentators said even though the Dutch goalie grabbed it, it didn't matter because of infringement.

Something to do with interfering with the goalie? 

Zanza

You may not interfere with the goalie in his six yard box. Maybe that's called infringement?

Yes, within the 5 yard area (the small box) you are not allowed to get in the way of the keeper at all.  Just standing in the way of the keeper when he reaches for the ball is considered infringement.
