Quatar was such a joke from the start. Fifa shoul dbe ashamaed they let money get involved (as always). But this time it will bite them in the ass. Having issues 9 years away? Cant wait to see what happens as it nears closer and closer.

I agree. But: there was a defender behind the GK, the shot was not guaranteed to go in, and the goalkeeper's hands were in front of his body (i.e., if he didn't use his hands, it would've just hit his chest).

I have no issues with the yellow. Any other player, an intentional handling would warrant a yellow card. The only time an intentional handling warrants a red is when it denies a goal -- mainly when someone is inside the goal.

That's what made it a yellow for me. Had he not handled it, its hitting him square in the chest and there was a defender right next to him to clear it away

I'm thinking of putting an entry in also. If I can't go for some reason ill just sell them for way more than the 92 ticket price.

Put in an entry today for the Lottery for having a Visa credit card. Sucks having to wait until July 30th to find out if you win or not. The regular lottery starts tomorrow.

Yep. I got 6 in 126 and 6 in 124 so I am hoping tons of people get denied so that value goes up. I only want to sell to Americans though, so if you don't get any, let me know ;)

Haha your price is way to rich for my blood. I had my buddy put in for 4 also, so hopefully one of us at least wins.

Man donovan looks like he is back. He has been great. No way he's left off the wc team. Him and Jozy up front could be scary good.

Thinking about getting tickets for the Gold Cup final on Sunday at Soldier Field, but gonna wait to see if Mexico wins or loses against Panama (and if the US wins or loses against Honduras). If Mexico loses and the US wins, the market will be flooded with cheap tickets
