nice header

 

[The Z Machine]

I was kinda hoping that Argentina would've been knocked out by now so that Di Maria/Higuain/Gago would be in Philly for next week's friendly :(

I'm going to that game with my wife and MIL...

 

[Major]

I'd love to see Uruguay win the cup. I really like that team. They're fun to root for.

I'm making the trip down with 3 largely-non-soccer fan friends. Maybe we should discuss further...

 

[otello]

wow

 

[Steve Tasker]

What a perfect ball from Messi right to Higuain to tie it.

 

[The Kansas Comet]

Goal Argentina!

 

[The Z Machine]

How does forlán look?

definitely

How does forlán look?

Hasn't been involved much, Uruguay's been pinned back for the most part and Argentina has had a lot of possession. Forlan did play the free kick that led to the Uruguay goal, though.

 

[otello]

that should have been a yellow

 

[The Z Machine]

I'm in the car driving home from BMore.

 

[The Kansas Comet]

that should have been a yellow

Exactly - that tackle was late and from behind.Lousy giveaway from Mascherano.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Messi looks incredible out there...and he's getting hacked every time he gets the ball. Messi-to-Higuain (again) off a free kick for a goal, but called back for Higuain being offside.

 

[The Z Machine]

Found it on the radio.... was higuain offside?

 

[The Z Machine]

I'm pulling for Uruguay here.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Found it on the radio.... was higuain offside?

Looked like it....but just barely.The tables turn, though, and Uruguay has a goal called back from an offside on a free kick. Looks like a good call.

 

[The Z Machine]

Damn. Another called back?

 

[The Z Machine]

This game seems intense.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Perez with a clumsy challenge and he's already been booked.....Perez runs away, Lugano steps in to talk and it's no use...2nd yellow

 

[The Z Machine]

Announcers were saying that Uruguay was playing really dirty and it was a matter of tome that another yellow would hit.

Ugh, tough booking for Perez there.Where was the offside on Uruguay's near-second goal?

I'm assuming it was called on Suarez at the time of the header. Pretty close call, though...wonder if the AR was thrown off by Suarez leaning forward, cause it looks like his feet were basically in line with the defender.

 

[The Z Machine]

Post!

 

[The Z Machine]

Finally made it home. Uruguay needs a heroic effort to hold Argentina off.

 

[The Z Machine]

For all the talent that Argentina has, they still have some holes. Zanetti and milito don't cut it IMO.

 

[The Z Machine]

Add Burdisso to that list.

 

[otello]

anywhere but right at the goalie and that one is in,

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

blah blah blah Rise of the Planet of the Apes blah blah blah

 

[otello]

tevez in for kun

 

[otello]

red, for that? tell me why. did he already have a yellow?

 

[The Z Machine]

Mascherano is a thug. It was ticky tack but I don't mind him getting a red.

 

[The Z Machine]

Masch already had a yellow if I recall correctly.

 

[otello]

what a save

 

[The Z Machine]

10 on 10 is always fun.

 

[otello]

I'm afraid if this goes to penalties, because the URU goalie is very good.

 

[The Z Machine]

Damn fine set of saves there.

 

[The Z Machine]

Muslera is having a hell of a game. He had a great WC too. Where doesvhe play?

 

[otello]

lazio

 

[The Z Machine]

I think Ríos is having a hell of a game as well. Very impressed.

 

[The Z Machine]

My wife and MIL are arguing about which player is cutest.

 

[otello]

this goalie is on fire. did you see messi control that looping pass?

 

[The Z Machine]

They settled on Lugano.

 

[otello]

tevez a non factor

 

[otello]

except for getting a yellow for what?

 

[The Z Machine]

Tevez is the fourth best attacker on Argentina.

 

[otello]

I am concerned for ARG right now.

AT&T commercial girl in the blue tanktop> hi.

 

[The Z Machine]

On univision we had Sofia Vergara.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Nice take by Forlan.
