Playing in a downpour. I've got it pulled up online via telemundo. That's what they're talking about a lot. That and the refs.

 

[Vols520]

just saw the highlights. On the second disallowed goal, it seemed as if it hit the Cameroon players head.

Not really sure on offside rule, but wouldn't that negate any offsides?

For those that have audio, are they saying both calls were wrong? It's clear number 1 was just a terrible call, but not sure on the rule for number 2.

The thing that's tough about soccer is the corruption, meaning are these refs just bad or are they corrupt. Taints a lot of this stuff.

Which came first? Dead ball, thereafter..

Something must be wrong with the speaker on your TV. I can understand them fine.

Guess I am not used to listening to people roll their R's with mouths full of cotton.

This Spain/Dutch game should be a treat

 

[TXA&M07]

I honestly have always liked them. All the ranch hands we've ever had were huge soccer fans and it was something to do with them that they really enjoyed. It just kinda stuck and I've just adopted them as "my team".

We used to always quit working when they were on a tv channel we could tune in to and make a big meal and watch them play together. It was a break from monotony and bit of relaxing "normal time" for them. They'd cook anything and everything and it was just a really cool way to enjoy something as fans, not boss/employees. Dad was real big on doing that kind of thing.

This diving crap needs to stop!

The World Cup may not be for you. You should probably stick to Vol Calls.

 

[volinreallife]

Never touched him.

 

[volfanCLT]

Another dive results in a PK

 

[volinreallife]

This kind of soccer sucks.

 

[volball625]

And another dive and penalty. Two phantom penalties already. And we haven't even played three games

 

[Vols520]

That one was tough for ref at least.

 

[Vols520]

I can't stand Spain. They dive way too often.

 

[volinreallife]

I can't stand Spain. They dive way too often.

They dive every time they are touched.

Ah, cool.

 

[volfanCLT]

Van Persie! Wow

 

[volinreallife]

Yes

 

[volball625]

What an unbelievable goal.

 

[VolinMichigan]

Goal of the tournament so far by Van Persie

 

[VolinMichigan]

Incredible pass too

 

[Vercingetorix]

Dear God in heaven what a goal.

 

[volinreallife]

Another dive.
