Where was the offside?

In the Spain-Paraguay match, the referee missed a pretty clear penalty after Alonso's first penalty when Fabregas was brought down. I think the referee might have struggled to justify giving three penalties within minutes of each other, especially given how Alonso had to retake his.

Giving a penalty isn't something that is done lightly anyway. I don't recall the incident you are talking about, but I'm sure there was no real need to give Fabregas a penalty. Villa was clearly taken down when Spain were back on a breakaway which is always a yellow-card offense. It also happened to be in the goal box so a penalty had to be given, even though it was a pretty soft penalty.
 
meh, I haven't been online since saturday, so my opinion about the Germany-Argentina comes a bit late:

Keeper pushed out the ball to Fabregas from the penalty save and then pretty clearly took him out, without touching the ball.

Oh right I recall that. There's no way the keeper is ever going to get penalised for that. The players were swarming in to get the ball, the keeper has no choice but to flail around.

paul the octopus picked spain, so germany is definitely not winning. :( (lol)
but last time it predicted a germany-spain match's outcome, it failed :p

anyway, that thing doesn't have anything to do with football. germany is better, I'm sure they'll win! :) gogogo
 
Just because everyone is excpecting Germany in the final, I'm going to pick Spain. :)

I do it only beacuse basically I lose every bet I do and I want Germany in the final too. But that being written, now they are going to lose... God, it's a mess!
 
Lieve God, U heeft de afgelopen tijd mijn favoriete zanger Michael Jackson, mijn favoriete acteur Patrick Swayze, mijn favoriete actrice Farah Fawcett, mijn favoriete entertainer Ramses Shaffy tot U genomen.... Ik wil U alleen nog even laten weten dat mijn favoriete elftal Duitsland is. Amen.

Dear God, in the past time You have taken my favorite singer, Michael Jackson, my favorite actor, Patrick Swayze, my favorite actress, Farah Fawcett and my favorite entertainer, Ramses Shaffy... I just want You to know that my favorite team is Germany. Amen.
 
I'm in Barcelona, and tomorrow were going to a pub to watch the game. We did the same tonight, but I expect tomorrow there will be a bit more alcohol. Germany is looking really strong.
 
It's hard to say Bye bye to South of American football, no more Samba, no more Tanggo dance, no more hot item in El Pais, no more Cardozo :(


Spain vs Germany = Netherlands
