Asunto: Brasil 2014

Unfortunatelly, Onazi have both tibia and fibula broken.

:/

such a tragedy...especially because he is a very young player.

but he should be ready for the season, breaking a leg is still better than problems with ligaments and knee in general

And Matuidi receives only Yellow Card.

And with 10 against 11, France would have been send home I think. The tackle was hard, but only in replay it was clear how ridiculously hard.

Another good example why a Hawk Eye system needs to be implemented in football asap.

Let's hope it is just the bones, not the joints. Recovery will be faster.

PS: I just realizes borkoos saiud the same. :)

Yes, the refere helped France yesterday. Not because of this, but changing foults and that goal in first half... Nigeria should won the game, but the refere choose suport France. Better for us, because Germany vs France will be a wonderful match =D

In one thing you're right : on this WC differences in foul judgment of referees is embarrassing...

If what Claudio Marchisio did was a red card, this one...

Ref can also make mistakes during the match but they must use the TV proof later... If you use it for one player you have to use for all...
I've seen a lot of ugly fouls, a lot of blow with the elbow, a lot of divers and cheaters and no action has been taken...

Same team that didn't want to leave for the WC because the players wanted more money. Now it looks like some found another way to earn a bit more :S

A world wide soccer ban for life would be a good punishment for these idiots, never be able to play professional soccer again! Such a ban is also a good statement for every other idiot who is offered to sell the match result.

An example of italian self-humor:

This is the spot of Barilla, no.1 italian pasta brand, It is written : "Welcome home!"
This kind of past is named "maccherone" in italian language maccherone means also "stupid without energy"... so this pun is ingenius...

PS: pleane note that one maccherone has one bite... :-)))

Argentina - Switzerland still no goals! I expected an 'easy' win for Argentina, I couldn't be more wrong. :O

Great match by Rojo and Di María, although the latter was wasted while playing on the right - too simple to fool the Swiss. Messi is just Messi and we'd be obviously lost without him. All in all, decent match against yet another version of Iran, with all the known problems it creates for us. We don't have an obvious way to break the 0-0 in this kind of matches, so we clearly need some luck, or a free-kcik, a corner, whatever. And we obviously can't bring the counter attack risk to zero. Don't expect anything different (for better or worse, I would say) for the next match. We'll see.



But, man, my life expectancy is 10 years shorter now :P

I wonder if Pastore wouldn't be useful for your team. You seem to lack this kind of 'dreamer' playmaker who can make a magical pass out of nothing...
