I am going to night 2. Flying all the way from Argentina to Chicago!

This is scary. I am on a plane every other week due to work, mostly on international flights. It is unbelievable that some terrorist could do something like this with such a level of malice...

Of course, you clever doll, you have it all figured out. :down: Anyway, I leave you with an interesting article on Messi's performance at the World Cup: Lionel Messi completely deserved to win the Golden Ball, because he was brilliant at the World Cup · Project Babb

I do not agree. And that its not what the rules say. Furthermore, Fifa has publicly stated that they need to make the game less violent.

Are we supposed to discuss the World Cup in this thread or is this supposed to be a vocabulary class? You are making a big deal out of nothing.

Baby, the rule does not make any sort of exception for goalkeepers. It simply talks about players, and the goalkeeper is indeed a player, isn't it? And I ask you again the same question, if Neuer would have jumped and broken Higuain's jaw, that would not have been a foul?

Fifa rule #12: LAW 12 - FOULS AND MISCONDUCT - FIFA.com LAW 12 - FOULS AND MISCONDUCT Direct free kick A direct free kick is awarded to the opposing team if a player commits any of the following seven offences in a manner considered by the referee to be careless, reckless or using excessive...

You overestimate me. Didn't I say that the Germans deserved to win the cup? I thought that we could argue different points of view in this forum. :down:

For sure what? If you plan to take my words out of context, I do not have much to comment.

Let me tell you something else about Rizzoli. He ref'd Argentina THREE times out of the four matches he ref'd in the whole tournament. If you were Rizzoli, wouldn't you make sure that any close calls DID NOT go in Argentina's favor given that you could be accused of being handpicked to favor...

That would be incredibly smart - together with a Bono storytale about Irish Little Red Riding Hood. It would help them capture a whole new market.

Unfortunately, a lot of the hype for the eventual new album has been lost - there was good momentum after Ordinary Love and Invisible. They need to do a very clever marketing strategy to revive it.

:d

Go ahead - make unnecessary fun of a world renowned ref. I also checked and several other international refs agree with Elizondo. And by the way, it is Argentine, not Argentinian. On the UEFA point, it is not good to have a ref of one of the associations that are playing the final. You had...

Blah blah blah Sent from my iPad using U2 Interference

I know the rules and they are clear. Getting to the ball first, but with violence and recklessness, is a foul and, in this case a penalty. Go google what Horacio Elizondo thinks about it - he ref'd the 2006 final so he knows his stuff. Neuer was completely reckless and he should have been...

The Germans deserved to win the championship. They were the best team throughout thr tournament. At the same time, that was an obscene non-called penalty on Neuer against Higuain. According to the rules, it does not matter if you get to the ball first, if you do with unnecessary violence...

Indeed, I want Cristiano out so Messi can prove who is the best player in the world...

A goal from Ghana and the US is out...

Whomever decided to play games in cities with nasty weather like Recife should be crucified.

This is, and will continue to be, the World Cup of Lionel Messi.... :up:

Cool.

Pride is still quite big in South America. As I was leaving the stadium last night, many fans were wondering why they had not played it...

First time ever. Now, if I see her jumping up and down close to the rail. Or better yet, smooching with Bono over WOWY she will be my official hero...

Old time user popping in at the setlist party for what seems to be a memorable setlist. :hyper: I was actually there last night. My 60-year old mom is there today. She went GA and I went to the stands. :reject: It was also pouring quite a bit in Buenos Aires a few minutes ago :ohmy:
