It's like they told Ronaldo:

"Whenever they have the ball, don't move. Don't waste any of your energey.
Whenever we have the ball, we will give it to you and you'll shoot".

this is why messi is a better player. messi passes the ball he doesnt take as many greedy shots as ronaldo. ronaldos ego gets the best of him at times

yeah i'd say ronaldo's quite selfish when playing for portugal. but he can't help that portugal don't have any good strikers, i mean look at the chacne meireles had, how can anyone miss that :palm:

Nope, after 1/8 finals :roll:

You see the same in Brazile - Portugal.. alot of Yellow cards -> half time, coaches say calm down do NOT do anything studpid if you get a double yellow (red) there is a chance you can't play the next 2 games.

This is the most biased ref I've seen this World Cup

NobleHunter · **Posted:** Fri Jun 25, 2010 7:21 pm

Lol. Chile is playing rugby or what? At this rate each player should get his own yellow card.

I agree, he's doing horrible. And yet FIFA claims the refs are doing an "outstanding" job.

man i hate it when teams just hold on to the ball the last 15min or so. its so boring. and the fans get upset. i know i would be if i was there

NobleHunter · **Posted:** Fri Jun 25, 2010 8:28 pm

The second part of the match was uber boring.

Spain-Portugal: This should be interesting...

Spoiler!

This cost Chile the match.
They had the same number of shots and more shots on goal than Spain.

Estrada was begging for a second yellow card. The ref even gave him a chance after this:

PD: Torres faked it. No disccussion about that.

All of this diving shit is making soccer, or football, seem extremely gay. >_>

it's time that they let the camera perspective decide that instead of the ref,
tricking your way further suggests you weren't too good to begin with.

same goes for balls around the goal line, sometimes it's very hard to say wether the ball was entirely behind the line or not.

I'd rather have post game analysis and any divers get benched a game.

this way it'd give them a little warning and leave their names in disgrace.

live ban per camera would be a little too progressive i admit, and be very hard to approve or pay for.

They should show the instant replay on a huge screen at the game(stadium). Not only would it humiliate the fakers,but also give the right penalties.

Man, if Holland doesnt win the world cup this time, we wont ever win it.
We are so freaking close right now, hopefully we beat Slovakia, and have a good day against Brazil. Then we're in the semi finals, any of those 4 teams should be do-able. Then we got the Final against Germany.

Agreed. American football shines in this area. There are very few bad calls that alter a game because of replays and challenges.
