Spain - Portugal (1-0)

I would have been real interested to hear what the referee and the assistant referee said to each other after the first Argentinian goal yesterday. You know the center referee just couldn't believe Tevez could possibly have been onside.

Really strange game after that. I couldn't believe there was no card for the two handed shove (nor could I believe Ian Darte's commentary on it). Plus whatever the heck was going on near the tunnel at halftime.

Bad call and Mexico responded with a total meltdown. England at least has a beef about their call. Sure they got burnt on break-aways at the end, but at least they were still plugging away at finding a tying goal.

Guess the score for entire game + overtime. If it goes to penalty shots then it's counted as a draw. I think at least.

So todays game Japan/Paraguay was 0-0 tie.

And no paradinhos and no sports bras. I guess they save the sports bras for the final?

Japan vs. Paraguay, or Spain vs. Portugal?

My grandparents (on my father's side) are from Vila Real, Portugal. I am, indeed, heart-broken. They played very well, though.

Edit: Nevermind; I just noticed the time of your post. :redface:

Nice call - even Monique went for the big Brazilian win! But for her, that's a perfect win-win situation.

Congrats!
That was a really exciting match!

That was a well hit ball by Muntari great movement in it faked the goalie out. Given it shouldn't have been a scoring opportunity had Uruguay played better defensively it was still a well shot ball and good heads up play.

If Ghana keeps up playing like this they definitely deserve to go to the semi-finals making them the first African team to go that far.
