This is the goal of the tournament so far for me all things considered.
I don't know about that 3reppom. It is a pretty goal, but I thought the opening goal in the South Africa - Mexico match was pretty wicked.

Why is FIFA being assholes and blocking every video that shows different angles of the goal? And ESPN is refusing to load the videos in high definition, so it's hard to see a damn thing.

Didn't think it could get any crazier after the Ghana game.

I agree it was a terrible call!! I also though think Paraguay was screwed on theirs as well though that was called back onsides.

As a sports official myself its hard to not naturally pay attention to officiating no matter what sport I am watching. I think the ref'ing in this world cup leaves something to be desired!! So inconsistent, its one thing to be wrong but to be inconsistent is the worse!

If it wasn't for David Villa, Spain would not have made it this far.

Glad I didn't put that look on Higuain for the Golden Boot!

Iniesta balling out this half. He is making everything happen for Spain.

Yeah, he and Xavi best players on the pitch today, imo.

Casillas with a huge save....after a terrible rebound given up.
