    spain felt like they already had the world cup in their pockets..... now it's time to be afraid!

    BTW, great level this year at the world cup, no team have to feel ashamed of their performance so far

    I don't agree with you there, I think the level of this worldcup is quite low and boring TBH. especially from the ones you would expect to rock your world.

    Instant replay wouldn't work in soccer unless it's about goal scoring. But they could start to fine players after the game, especially for the obvious ones where there was no contact made. A few hits to the pocketbook and my guess is that you'll start to see a reduction in the more outlandish performances without stopping the game in question.

    France were terrible tonight and are all but out of the competition now.

    Mexico were good for the win and they can be very proud of that performance. They looked up for it and showed some real class and determination.

    Not long until we play again now and I am getting very anxious!

    A big "aaawwwww you were awful :p" for France from me and a "congrats, you deserved it" to Mexico. :D
    But this game had actually quite little Vuvuzela noise, if it goes on like that I might be able to watch it with sound again.

    Some channels are filtering the frequency of the horns due to whiners.

    Haha!

    I think people are over reacting though. Most international football games have a lot of background noise.

    The level is really high thanks to the great improvement made by most teams (n. korea is an example). A showy match is not always a good match. and showy play is not always the most effective. (spain and brazil comes to mind).

    I was mostly talking about strategical, technical view.
