World Cup 2006

[The Kraig]

Messi WAS offside. He was passed the ball, whilst in an offiside position.

There you go, a guaranteed 30 minutes more to go.

[Farmer Reil]

No golden goals? STOP CHANGING YOUR MINDS FIFA :|

And yeah, the Messi thing was my bad.

[The Kraig]

So there's no golden goal? Good, that was a shit rule.

[Steeb]

Extra time....damn.

You don't want more of this?

Joe Cole eat your fucking heart out!

[Steeb]

WHAT A FUCKING GOAL!

OH MY!

EDIT:

I'd say Mexico have less of a chance now. Argentina are probably the better team, and now have 30 minutes to try and break down Mexico. Mexico had the chance of stealing a winning goal at the end of the 90 minutes.

[The Kraig]

And Mexico DEFINITELY have less of a chance now.

This ref is fucking shocking. He gives a free kick for absolutely nothing, and then doesn't give one that looked blatant.

That would've been claaaaassy.

[Farmer Reil]

Botched German Suplex~!

I knew either he'd get booked, or Castro would get a second yellow. Bye bye referee, nobody's giving you a good rating

[Xero Gravity]

Poor Mexico, they worked their asses off to win this in normal time but these past thirty minutes have been hell for them. When the second Argie goal went it, it looked all over

...and now it is.

lol at Mascherano. Anyone else see that? Was going to give his shirt to a Mexican guy, but changed his mind Poor Mexicans can't even win a shirt.

Ugh, I am AMAZINGLY tired of dives in the World Cup. And you wonder why soccer gets a bad rep in North America. A player gets STRETCHERED off and three minutes later is back in? Refs need to disallow re-entry onto the field if a player is helped off.

Messi WAS offside. He was passed the ball, whilst in an offiside position.

No he wasn't, the ball was closer to the goal line than Messi was. That's NOT offside.

Though I agree it wasn't, your wording confused me there. Simply put, if the ball is played straight up or down or backwards, the player can't be offside no matter where the defenders/goalie are (which I'm sure is what you are putting, I just didn't get it, so clarifying).

And the Heinze decision was awful. People can suggest that it was evened out by the offside decision, but thats BS. If Heinze had gone, then that could and should have been game over, and Argentina most likely wouldn't have got the kinda chances they got. Having said thet, the goal was awesome, pure brilliance.

Oh well, tough luck Mexico, and Argentina will beat Germany IMO.
