What an amazing sem-final game! All the way until the end, Uruguay pushed very hard for the win.
If Germany advances, then this World Cup final will be an epic battle of two strong European squads. Good luck to the Spaniards; make it exciting!

Wow, another huge upset! Germany played like such a beast team, easily spiting through the Argentina defense. It's going to be an amazing semi-final set of matches.

WOW, what a finish to that game! Ghana doesn't have anyone to blame but themselves; lots of missed opportunities from both sides in the 30 minutes of overtime actually.
Brazil losing was one of the biggest shockers in this WC; my heart sank after that own-goal. Congrats to all of you Holland...
The Argentina and Mexico match has been AMAZING so far; one of the best in this world cup imho. Strong attacks from both sides, but Argentina's offense is hard to contain for Mexico. Should be an interesting 2nd half!

The U.S. has to step up their defense and time of possession (rather than just give up the ball so easily). They also need to be more aggressive if they want to tie/win this thing against a team like Ghana.

Quite an amazing match.
I think it was the proper decision to suspend play. From what the announcers were saying, it's quite dark and tough to see the ball. After 59 matches in the final set and more than 10 hours of play, it's got to take an extreme toll on their bodies (both mentally &...
This shit is FIREEE 2nyce. Just wanted to say that we appreciate all your hardwork on it and a big thank you for sharing it with the entire BTF community!!

Brazil is LETHAL! Too bad for Kaka though.. that elbow/forearm to the chest, which lead to his second yellow was a joke. The Ivory Coast guy acted like he broke his jaw. lol.
Anyway, another great victory for Brazil!
~ Basim :)
Agreed.
The ref was horrible in that game. Among a few other questionable calls, he called a "hand ball" on Robbie Findley when the soccer ball hit the side of his face in the goal box.. WTF!! Way to give him another yellow and disallow him to play next match. Bullshit.. U.S.A should have won...
Wow, nice find! This show looks hilarious :D I have to agree with Avneet though, I'm not sure how long this type of show will remain on air.
Hoping for the best,

I tend to agree, although that goal that they gave up in the last 89th minute was unexpected. Excellent job by the foward from North Korea, Ji Yun-nam, to finish that one.
North Korea pushed quite hard toward the end of the match (after the goal), but I'm glad Brazil could hold them off.

Very true. I can't believe that in 88 minutes AFTER that first goal, Argentina could not score another one, despite dominating the attack throughout the game. They had complete ball control and more than double shots-on-goal than Nigeria. They need to work on their finishing because they...
I hope this article helps a bit: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/world-cup/blog?entryID=5275929&name=worldcup2010blog&cc=5901&ver=us
You really need to watch the replay, read what I wrote in my previous post, and follow along with that article.
This type of situation doesn't happen that often...
