Looking back on what was going on here while I was watching the game... please tell me that this wasn't in reference to the non-goal by Argentina when they had no fewer than FOUR players offside...

I think he was talking about another play where Lahm kept an argentina forward onside, it was pretty close but the argentina player was leaning towards goal and lahm was trying to step up...I agree with tba on that one

I think I'm rooting for a Netherlands-Germany final as that will be most entertaining, but I honestly wouldn't mind one bit if Uruguay won the whole thing. 3.5 million people and 3 World Cup titles? Impressive.

Yeah Lahm got lucky because he was hustling to create the offside trap, the Argentine actually had his back to goal, it looked like his arms were the only part of him offside...it was a harsh decision IMO.

Re: World Soccer XVI: The Sadness

Is it just me or does it look like TWO Uruguay players handled on that play?

Maybe they should have sent both of them off.

The first one tried, but missed. At first I thought he was getting the card, which wouldn't have been right.

Yeah but does anyone really count the first two?

I thought if you win recently than the past counts (See U of Denver!)

Ghana had the best chance to eliminate the Germans. They only needed a draw that last game of Group play. Now they are on a roll.

In 1950, they beat Brazil in the final. In Brazil, in front of 200,000 people.

I'll count that, thank you very much.

If you beat Brazil in Rio de Janeiro, in front of 200,000+ fans while coming from down 1-0. It counts whether it was 1950 or 1950BC.

Um, I thought they said on the broadcast that the 200k game was only the last game of group play, not the final...

Well, the way it worked back then was that instead of a knockout round, the 4 best teams played a round robin group. The last game of that group was Brazil-Uruguay. So, it was both the last game of the group, and the de facto final.

Ref's style seems to suit Paraguay's tougher play.
