questionable PK

Looks like it should of been a pk.

[Hungry Dave]

Spain definitely should have got a PK off that.

[The Natural]

Should have been a penalty add this to the list of bad calls.

[Pichi]

announcers on TV and radio said that it was penalty.

[Tetsuo]

questionable PK

it looked like a clear penalty to me! he just knocked the spaniard down before he reached the ball.

[Travarelli]

OMG these official are awful.......

The referees need to collectively decipher if they're going to call tight inside the box or if they're going to allow a little bit of physical play inside the box, because it's gone both ways during this tournament.

Either way, should have been a PK. Referee missed it.

The Swedish player pretty much just checked him (Who was that? Iniesta?). It didn't even seem like he was looking at the ball.

[drahnier]

I have no idea how Daniel Andersson can be this good.

Does anyone know?

[GV32]

That looked like an obvious penalty call. Especially if you compare it to the penalty the italians got yesterday.

[Asalieri]

That was an obvious penalty.

That Swede went for the head-plant

It was Silva

[Jahaja]

Even as a swede that was a PK, however i'm quite sure they'll get one in the second half anyways. :(

[timotheus]

obviously that not called PK makes for a better game

Spain is back to its old self - lost, ineffective, bad defending, clueless, laborious build up circa 1950's era style of play.

Sweden is organized, physical, incredible team ethic.

2nd half should be good.

[Travarelli]

How did he blow the whistle for the half when Spain was attacking the Swed goal? Pitiful.

[Pichi]

Spain had 21 shots against Russia, against Sweden only 4. After that Torres goal it looks like Spain hit the off button on offense.

Agreed, WTF is Spain's problem?
It is not skill, it seems a psychological one.

[Pichi]

Spain surprisingly had more ball possession in this match then they did with the Russians, yet they are unable to get the ball into the Swedish box.

second half starts.
