WOW is right, three players in the penalty box with the Brazillian goalie t ther mercy and they can't score? Spain will decimate them, if they are not more efficient.
Uruguay might too!
Uruguay might not make through today I think they are evenly matched against Ghana. However one major problem Ghana has is their defense.
we'll see. Brazil losing has kind of taken the joy out of the games for me.
Watch the Women's WC next year Brasil's team is top notch
MARTA MARTA MARTA!
I'm impressed you know about Marta!
she's been awesome for over a decade. i respect the female game as well....usa and brazil are powerhouses on the female side

They're still a powerhouse like Jimi said but Germany and Brasil are also top-notch teams. But on the otherhand if you want to see an American team win at soccer watch the women

True... basically it is those 3 teams and the level of play really is falling rapidly after those... Sweden and China sometimes seem to get there too though...
Hey Bitty how do you like Birgit Prinz?!?! ;-) I know shes not a beaauty but shes a great player!!!

LOL yea she looks a bit like my 6th grade gym coach but she is def among the top players in the world. She's a great clutch performer Germany won the last Cup and next year playing home makes them the team to beat. Oh but dodger don't sleep on Sweden they're pretty good also.
yesss!!!
nice finish...end of the half surpriser!!!
nice games today!!
That was a heck of a free kick as well.
How about Suarez as the player with most impact of this WC?
Ohhh my holy... what a dramatic finish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe he missed. U-R-Gay is going to win this now on kicks.
Wow. Airmailed that one after a gift from Ghana.
Nice job by the keeper. Good save.
That's the craziest PK. But it worked. Crazy game.
Ghana had this game.
Man that was the most cold hearted and cool finisher on a penalty kick Ive seen in a long time!!!
No wonder Abreu is called "El loko!!!! ;-)
I have no words for the choke job committed by Ghana today. And what the hell was the coach thinking with his penalty kick selection. Suarez I give major credit for taking the red card because in the end his team lives to see another day
uruguay: boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!
b.s. all the way
missing penalties in the wc is par the course for many players...
it's high stakes...
in 1994 roberto baggio, the best in the world, missed one cost them the title, in a shootout...
beckham did in a different knockout phase when free kicks and penalties were a specialty of his...
"choking" on penalties in the world cup, written about just before the competition by the ny times, is FAAAR more common than normal games.
which is then to ask...
how awarding a penalty can be the way to determine a match where a player blatantly tries to block the game winning shot with his hand...and all that happens is he gets sent off (who cares...it's penalties) and they get a penalty kick is crazy...for an elimination game.
