yeah, the sub-17 looks pretty good, should have a good team in the future

Yes, I'm still bitter

At least our women's team is kicking butt! ha

Ball off the shoulder.

No hand ball.

-bakalhau- · Jul 3, 2011

As you could see in the replay, no it wasn't

K1LLER7 · Jul 3, 2011

great defending with his shoulder

Noshino · Jul 3, 2011

The Omega Man said:

It wasn't. Not only was it while he was falling, but also he moves his arm back so there is no intent.

This one was a great call, the one before (the yellow card one) wasn't

Salsa · Jul 3, 2011

Oh hey, couldnt find this thread

Argentina match was a freaking Joke, except for that amazing goal from Aguero.

But seriously, it was terrible, gonna wait to see Brazil, but we got this.

Yeah I take that back after watching the replay, I blame youtube and my small screen, and Canada of course for having no interest in showing this, at least in Montreal

Yeah they seem afraid to shoot from medium range even.

Still Brazil gave a pretty nice show the first 20 minutes. Venezuela's defense also looking pretty solid.

mozfan12 · Jul 3, 2011

Brazil came out with pace and some really nice passing but Venezuela seems to have started to gain some stability.

The tournament has been far too defensive so far, which is expected due to the vast difference in quality between the squads. Hopefully it gets better soon.

I hope the ecuador v paraguay is at least decent, Paraguay plays some really negative football though.

Insane Metal · Jul 3, 2011

Brazil played well enough, but the lack of goals is concerning =/

Yeah. I agree.

Venezuela's not getting enough credit. They're playing probably the best D they can.

But dear lord, are they ever absolute shit on offense. Their best bet is to keep it up with this defense and let this match end in a draw.

I honestly thought they had way too much respect for Brazil in the first twenty. They improved a lot towards the end, still shaky at times.

K1LLER7 · Jul 3, 2011

Neymar = Robiniho v.2

Noshino · Jul 3, 2011

Goddamn Venezuela, stepping up their game.... niceeeee

feel · Jul 3, 2011

Venezuela is not doing bad at all. The defending is
pretty solid, they just need to cross the midfield with the same kind of confidence.

edit- I'm in Venezuela, the locals I talked to this morning were pretty much all expecting a trashing by Brazil.

Arnie · Jul 3, 2011

That referee just earned my respect for booking that diver.

Kid Ying · Jul 3, 2011

Fred IS ON. We're fucked.

I really don't know why Robinho is still on the Brazil team. The guy lives on the fame he made almost a decade ago. He wasn't the star at Real Madrid, Man City... Even when he came to Santos last year he wasn't the star.

A shame that if you make some dribbles, the press will try to sell you like the new Pele here.

Insane Metal · Jul 3, 2011

WTF happened to Brazil? The team is a mess this second half. I won't be surprised if Venezuela scores.

K1LLER7 · Jul 3, 2011

nice play, should have scored.

heh i haven't seen that dude in awhile

he was part of those great lyon sides that just kept on winning french league

gurasa · Jul 3, 2011

The pitch is poor and spongy.

Mobius 1 · Jul 3, 2011

Not feeling horribly confident of our team right now. Again... it's the first game.
