OT: World Cup

[SLY]

Nervous about this final game for the U.S. on Thursday.

Definitely going to be taking a LONG lunch that day.

Watch out, WW is going to call you a socialist.

Italy - Uruguay kick-off is imminent...

 

[dash]

Balotelli just picked up a yellow card and will miss Italy's next match...

/That is, of course, if Italy has a next match at this year's World Cup

 

[dash]

Come on Uruguay, time to show some urgency, pretty tepid first half.

 

[dash]

Balotelli substituted off at halftime (good move by Prandelli)

Rut Roh, Italy is down to 10 men as Marchisio has been sent off...

I think a red was rather harsh there (without seeing the replay yet).

Pretty good stomp on the shin with the studs, it was definitely worth a yellow, red is debatable.

 

[mattola]

this italy vs Uru game has gone insane

 

[dash]

Goaaaaalllll!! What a corner kick and header. Uruguay leads 1-0

 

[Slimpikins]

Suarez bites someone and Uruguay scores off the corner. Nothing like a midday soap opera.

this ref of the ita vs uru game may disappear after this

Uruguay will provide safe haven.

 

[mattola]

holy cfuck this officiating wow

I don't care if we're already down a man and we're down a goal.....if you bite me I'm going to kick your ass. Maybe I'm just hostile? Maybe I'm just old school? Men don't bite. Men don't kick. That's for girls (no offense).

Im going to save jstew some time for the future and just post these pictures of sad german fans.

oh wait those are not the germany fans .... hmmm thats strange

There's no crying in baseball and there should be no biting in soccer...

 

[Jared]

I'm a Liverpool fan... I am just absolutely floored by this. He is one the most talented players in the world, but just can't get it together. This is three times if it's true. And it really looks to be.

I don't know if they will throw Suarez out of the tourney, but it definitely should be at least a one game Shanaban (maybe two?).

His biting related suspensions have been 7 and 10 in the past. I'm thinking that if FIFA gets a good enough view of it (and maybe a good look at the Italian's shoulder) that Suarez gets a Matt Cooke style Shanaban.

Blatterban?
