Great game! Damn it arrrrgggggg!!!!! End of the day all that matters, great start to the round of 16. Time to eat, now I need a drink lol
Chile has nothing to be ashamed about that loss.
Well, another good match up coming next. Colombia vs. Uruguay.

You guys don't watch much South American football do you?
The thing is that the Uruguayans are not claiming that Luis is a clean player or that he does not cheat. What the Uruguayans believe is that cheating and dirty play are a part of the game. They think that cheating is fine because that's how you win. "These are things that happen in a match."
I disagree. I was rooting for Chile all the way but they really did not deserve to go through.
Everyone is saying that Brazil didn't play well but Chile did not play to their standard either. They should have one today if they had played like themselves.
Okay. Well, the draw after 90 minutes was an achievement a lot of other teams couldn't have done. Someone had to lose.
Interesting.
That's how some people in the US feel about baseball, basketball and football. Getting caught is, of course, embarrassing.
Wow GOALAZO!!!! Damn that might be up there ties with RVPs header for best goal of the cup so far.
In America there is the saying, "If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'. People who actually follow that saying are disgusting pigs in my opinion. Sorry to be so blunt.
A better saying is, "Play by the rules, or the game means nothing."
This dog loves Portugal (click through to the other video, worth it)

That's the way I see it.
Respect for the game is important, and that comes with a respect for both the laws and those enforcing them. If you can't win within the rules of the game, you can't be all that good...
Also, get in there Colombia! I got them in a different pool at work (to be honest, didn't expect to get past the group!)
That was really, really close.
Never trust an ex-Albion player to do a proper job.

Guess that's what happens when you don't base a team around one player.
Just a guess mind.
