Quarter-Finals: URUGUAY vs. GHANA

[rascal]

Uruguay is the weakest team in the final 4. They will get destroyed.

My goddam DVR quit recording after the game was over, and I didn't get to see them go in to OT. Is there any place I can catch the OT? Thanks!!!

galavision is showing the ovetime right now

that replay doesnt show when the ball is kicked so it doesnt show if they were offside or not. i dont remember seeing it offside when it happened but i watched over the net so i might be wrong. there were a couple offsides called on uruguay that werent though, and ghana got away with one earlier (that didnt result in anything). for the most part this ref did a good job though, missing offsides calls is fairly normal in a soccer game and the ones they missed were all close either way.

What has when the ball was kicked to do with this offside? At the third second of the video one of Ghana players shoots a header towards the goal. At that point Ghana player with number 10 is offside. The keeper defends the shot and the ball comes dirrectly to that Ghana player (number 10). He was offside before, so he shouldn't be involved in the action (he gained unfair advantage according to the offside rules). When he touches the ball offside should have been called.

Wiki - offside:

Offside offence
A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is touched or played by a team-mate is only committing an offside offence if, in the opinion of the referee, he becomes actively involved in play by

Interfering with play
Playing or touching the ball
Interfering with an opponent
Preventing the opponent from playing the ball by obstructing the player's sight or intentionally distracting the opponent
Gaining an advantage by being in an offside position
Playing the ball after the ball has rebounded off the goal, the goalkeeper, or any opponent

Every Mexican in the world that watches the Mexican league knew Abreu was going to float it in the middle like that. I swear I was screaming at my TV that he was going to do that...too bad the Ghanian goalie didnt study the Uruguayan players' PK tendencies. Nothing wrong with what Suarez did either, he was given a red card for it and the Ghanian's were given a golden chance to win the game. They didnt deliver.

Uruguay is overrated though. Easy road and a couple of breaks had more to do with them reaching this stage than them actually being elite. Holland should destroy them, and would destroy them even if they had Suarez and Lugano.

Oh man that was brutal. Uruguay took Ghana down with them rather than just lose.

Pretty re ed rule. At least NBA goaltending makes sense. It is a cheap tactic akin to hack-a-shaq and intentional fouls. But its the rules.
