WORLD CUP 2010 (TV Schedules and brackets also)

LoL ... Robben should have a hat trick by now. Amazing how he can snap off such a perfect header and then shank two gift-wrapped chances.

 

[GemStateJim]

Nice strike.

Time left for some last-minute drama?

 

[GemStateJim]

Excellent match. Dutch deservedly go through to the finals. Will it be a Dutch-Deutsch affair?

 

[accuratehorn]

Or maybe a Holland-Hispanola match?

 

[FWHORN]

Tomorrow will have to really work to live up to the excitement of this semi. Would like to see Spain win tomorrow now if for no other reason than it will mean someone who has never before won the Cup will lift it Sunday.

Somebody get Klose the ball so that he can go score

 

[kjgirl]

Trochowski with a shot towards the lower post and a diving save by the Spanish keeper

 

[GemStateJim]

kjgirl seemed like she had something caught in her throat for a bit there. She seems to be OK now, though.

 

[kjgirl]

I think that could have been called a penalty...but it wasn't an obvious penalty either

 

[triplehorn]

Good no call on the penalty. It looked iffy live, but the replay showed Ozil dangling his leg out in the defender's path. Ozil wasn't knocked off balance so much as he fell down.

Great first half.

 

[GemStateJim]

Yeah, I wouldn't have called that a penalty, either. Didn't help that Ozil whiffed.

 

[triplehorn]

Spain won the possession battle in the first half and are doing it again to start the second. It's hard to imagine the Germans scoring by any way other than a counter attack if Spain keeps this up.

WOAAAHH

close one

 

[kjgirl]

*Deep breath in, deep breath out*

 

[OrngNugz]

Espania getting great pressure now, can they get 1 in is the real question.

 

[GemStateJim]

Cannot believe Villa failed to connect on Iniesta's centering pass. Best chance of the match so far.

Germany needs to step up; if it keeps yielding possession and chances to Spain like this, it will be auf wiedersehn fur Die Mannschaft!

 

[accuratehorn]

Yeah, Spain is applying lots of pressure, I'm surprised, not many shots by Germany. But still, nothing in the net.

 

[accuratehorn]

Should that have been a penalty? They play on.

 

[kjgirl]

Come on Germany

 

[GemStateJim]

Great stop from Casillas there. Sooooo close to our first score.

 

[kjgirl]

Ok Germany, you got 25 minutes to score

Nice goal though

 

[triplehorn]

beautifl goal

 

[FWHORN]

Spain has absolutely dominated and that is a deserved goal. Now lets see if the Germans can respond.

 

[GemStateJim]

The ugliest mug in the sport cracks one of the most beautiful headers of this tournament.

 

[accuratehorn]

Gran golazo Espana, fantastico!

 

[FWHORN]

Cant give up that much possession and that many shots. Eventually something will break.

This may say as much about England and Argentina as it does about Spain and Germans.

 

[triplehorn]

Spain better not pack it in. The best defense has been a good offense against the Germans.

 

[GemStateJim]

Klose was ... close ... to converting that one.

 

[kjgirl]

Dammit, it is 15, I was thinking 100-75 not 90-75
Maybe I should drink some more
