Match 17|South Africa vs. Uruguay|16-06-10|PBP Thread [R]

Poor support there. After all the country has been through and the first African World Cup, and you leave early? Disgraceful.

 

After Forlan kicked it it, there was another touch and that guy would be considered for the last touch and from the looks of that Suarez looked offside.

 

well, i was hoping south africa would advance. it's always nice to see the host nation advance and i like the streak. oh well.

good call by the ref.

 

Cavani has really not impressed. No one else on the bench?

 

lol at the dive from gaxa.

 

I say:

France 1 - 0 Mexico

Mexico 2 - 0 Uruguay
South Africa 1 - 0 France

What happens then?

 

Guess those south africans didn't wanna see Uruguay's third goal

 

They have to get home early to beat the riots

 

I've got 3 reasonably fluent (English, German, Italian) and 2 I can fake pretty well (French and Spanish) and I agree.

 

yeah because there are two Koreas... ones in the north and ones in the south so the one in the south is called South Korea. Also, if u look on a map South Africa is in the south of Africa so I guess they decided to call it "South Africa".

The only thing cool about it was that Uruguay was laughing at them.

 

The deflection came from an Uru, didn't it? I'm pretty sure it was offside and shouldn't have been a penalty/red.

Nevertheless, Uruguay is the better side and deserves the win, no doubt about that.

They did show the replay. Suarez was onside by a good half-stride.

BTW, I think this WC has had absolutely brilliant offsideness replays -- within 30 seconds of realtime, frame-frozen with ball on the passer's foot, with a CG line superimposed on the 2nd-last defender's hindmost edge, and the offside part of the field artificially darkened. The only possible improvement would be to put green or red halos around the players, and that treads on NHL glowing-puck ice.

 

I agree not only in this match but it just seems that they just dont care much. Im sure their are a lot of passionate football supporters there, but the majority dont seem that passionate.

 

Let's not be so absolutist and hyperbolic, for one time in the known universe for the love of god almighty, ever and ever amen.

 

Especially when the WC is in your own country.

 

ya, If It wasn't for that fluke goal, they would of been done. shalalala won't score like that again. lol

 

forlan leading contender for the golden boot at the moment....

 

Before the game's over, all you're gonna see is a row full of Uruguayans celebrating

Mexico's screwed unless they beat France tomorrow.

 

unequivocally. It was a dreadfully blown call.

 

México goes on, I like that.

What's the tiebreaker after goals against?

México would have +1
Uruguay 0
France 0
SA -1

 

This game certainly was a letdown after two much better games this morning

Pleasure chatting with you folks though.

 

True. I've seen Copa Libertadores and even NT matches of a local team's fans leaving early when their team is losing and has no chance of getting back into it.

 

South Americans do live football.

A Corinthians-Flamengo Libertadores quarter final is something I'd love to live through. The stadiums, the passion... nothing in Europe compares... except for a Galatasaray-Besiktas, maybe.
