World Cup Day 10 Slovakia/Paraguay, Italy/ N Zealand & Brazil/Ivory Coast

[YehButNoBut]

Plenty empty seats at the Paraguay game.

Cannot understand why just before the match they don't give them away to the poorer local communities who will never get the chance to experience a top flight football match.

FIFA missing out on some good PR here. :agree:

That wouldn't be fair on the people that had paid for a ticket and would make people think about buying a ticket for future games if they know they can hold out and maybe get one for free

Fair point but still think FIFA could have done more to enable more locals to see the games live, especially games like this one where both teams do not have a huge support.

Maybe they could have allocated a section of the ground for locals at much reduced ticket prices.

[Gatecrasher]

they were saying on the radio only a handfull of games played so far actually sold out

[YehButNoBut]

1-0 Paraguay, good goal. :thumbsup:

[The_Horde]

Did i just hear the commentator say "what the f*** was that"?

[ekhibee]

Although they won't win the World Cup, I was very impressed with Paraguay. 2 good goals, and their marking and closing down was superb. They never stopped trying to attack, even in the 4th minute of injury time. They look a good side, if not quite capable of winning the tournament outright.

[SteveHFC]

1-0 New Zealand :thumbsup:

1-0 New Zealand :thumbsup:

offside by a mile...:grr:

c'mon italy....

I can't find my old thread saying Hibs should sign him but I am sure most of you remember :cool2:

Remember it well Steven! His value has just increased after that strike - you should dig you your previous communications to Hibs, saying 'told you so' and see if they will give you a scouting job !

[SlickShoes]

offside by a mile...:grr:

c'mon italy....

By a mile my arse, it took the TV folk about 8 replays to decide it should maybe have been offside and they expect the lino to spot that instantly, hard to tell who it even hit.

Italy should be able to pick NZ apart so i wouldnt worry.

[YehButNoBut]

offside by a mile...:grr:

c'mon italy....

Thought it was onside as it looked to me it was an Italian head that flicked it on.

My eyesight's not what it used to be though. :wink:

[Steve-O]

Remember it well Steven! His value has just increased after that strike - you should dig you your previous communications to Hibs, saying 'told you so' and see if they will give you a scouting job !

And don't forget his assist in the Slovakia game!

That was Mixu's scout who turned me down, I am sure Yogi will give me a job as Oceania scout! :agree:

[Steve-O]

These cheating Italians are a disgrace. They are running scared and trying to get players sent off :grr:

[SteveHFC]

Never a Penalty.:grr:

[Steve-O]

Shocking, it's like playing Rangers at Ibrox!

How do Italy get away with this pish time and time again?

[Barney McGrew]

Never a Penalty.:grr:

It was - the NZ defender clearly had a handful of his shirt.

Having said that, it's no worse than what goes on at practically every free kick or corner that gets taken, but in this case the guy got caught doing it.

[YehButNoBut]

Never a Penalty.:grr:

Seen that so many times in other games without a pen being given.

England were very guilty of it.

Ref helping the bigger country again. :grr:

I'm sure that handful of shirt caused the player to go flying to the ground :rolleyes:

[Barney McGrew]

I'm sure that handful of shirt caused the player to go flying to the ground :rolleyes:

I'm sure that holding a player's shirt like that is an offence, regardless of whether it causes him to fall over :rolleyes:

It was soft, but it was a penalty.

Pretty sure diving is an offence as well though?

[Iain G]

This ref is giving the Italians everything...dodgy diving Italian at the penalty, any bit of contact they hit the deck like they've been flattened by a truck...same old Italians, about time some referee took action against them, bunch of big girls blouses :grr:

Wonder what the patronising BBC think now?? GIRUY! :bye:

[Hibs On Tour]

Hi Five to me. Had it at 1-1 in the WC predictor! If Paraguay had got their fingers out and nailed a 3rd I would have been 100% today! Now I don't feel so bad about predicting that Paraguay will beat Brazil in the next round...! :wink:

[Houchy]

That's me finished betting on this world cup stuff. I must have lost about £200 so far. Luckilly it's been other punters money as I've won a bit on the nags but the world cup has been rank rotten for betting.

What's the deal with the subs in the world cup? Every game I look at has 11 or 12 subs listed, are they allowed to have the rest of the squad on the bench? :confused:

Bamba's crap, thats why he doesnt get a game!

Shocking play acting by the Ivory Coast player.:bitchy:

What a disgraceful decision

:agree:

The Ivorian ran into him deliberately knowing he'd just been booked.

Cheat.

[Danderhall Hibs]

What a disgraceful decision

Ivory Coast shooting themselves in the foot with that one. They need Brazil to beat Portugal so they can go through (assuming they and Portugal beat North Korea) so to get one of Brazil's top boys sent off was a wee bit silly!

[SaulGoodman]

That was Disgraceful, gets hit in the chest and goes down holding his face. Things like this turn football sour. There is absolutely no need to go down like that. Keita needs some action taken against him :grr:

[Gatecrasher]

The ivory coast are a bunch of cheating hackin gits, 11 drogbas :rolleyes:

same could be said for a couple of Brazilian players.

On a side note that guy should have been off for the tackle on elano.

Disgraceful decision by the IC player, They have lost my respect in this tourney, Bamba or not..I hate cheats/And will not condone cheats..Very sad indeed.

I saw Kaka move his shoulder into the oncoming player, Yellow card.

If the IC player hadn't rolled about holding his face then nothing happens and it would never have resulted in a booking imo.

Blame the players by all means but the ref and his crew had a nightmare. Worst of the competition so far.

Of course they don't, but one IC player takes a leaf out of the Brazlians book and it works out for him.

There's no way the ref saw the incident and so should have been looking for assistance from his assistants.

The whole diving, chasing the ref and waving hands asking for cards is piss poor from so-called professionals. Brazilians rolling around the park don't do themselves any favours.

Good first goal - forgettable after that.

[HibsMax]

Didn't see the game so I am not doubting you but was it a worse refereeing performance that USA vs Slovenia?

[Jim44]

I'm kind of glad that Bamba wasn't involved in that fiasco tonight. No doubt he'll lose some of his value but that's life. The Ivorians have really plummeted in status after that tonight and their poor showing in the AfricaCup of Nations.

Cheats? This would mean they were cheating & in FIFA's book there is no such thing. It's 'simulation'.
If it wasn't so pathetic it would be funny. Time to get shot of Blatter & his cronies & get a grip on the game before these diving, cheating ****s ruin the game totally.

[The Silver Fox]

If Kaka had not moved into the guy he would have been splattered to the deck, he was not even looking where he was going.

Double hand ball by Fabiano prior to his second goal and plenty of attempts at cheating on display. It really annoys me as they have loads of ability but seem to take on board the cheating aspect with ease.

[1875godsgift]

I saw Kaka move his shoulder into the oncoming player, Yellow card.
He put his arm up to stop Keita running into him.
Basically, Keita did what is known as a Lafferty.

[seanraff07]

Their was diving everywhere between Drogba, Lucio but Keita's was completely out of order and Lafferty standard. Absolute disgrace if i was Kaka i would have lost the plot no doubt, really hope Fifa do the right thing and rescind it to a yellow, no doubt they won't but. Despite Bamba being in their squad i shall not be supporting IC now as i can't stand cheats. Fair enough every team has their divers but all the IC players were at it and i just found it a joke to watch them. Also two Brazil players could have had their legs broken because of abysmal, shocking challenges from the IC players.

[Mibbes Aye]

I've seen the replay enough times now and it seems clear that Kaka raises his arm knowing it will result in contact with Keita. Whether that's to impede him, or protect himself is debatable.

Don't know the rules of the game well enough to know whether that's a yellow, or whether it depends on the context, nevertheless, it looks like a foul. And the ref has to respond to that appropriately. So there's a debate over whether it is a yellow or just a free kick.

Keita's reaction seems obviously well over the top and shameful TBH. It's harder to judge for various reasons, but the TV highlights caught what the match officials didn't seem to. There's a separate route for that sort of behaviour to be pursued and given how blatant it appears, most of us would be happy to see some sort of action against him I'm sure.

Totally agree with your post. Of course Kaka shouldn't have been sent off, but the Brazilians were at it the entire game. To me the ref was dreadful. For Brazil's second goal, there was some slo-mo of a conversation between the ref and Fabiano after it, God knows what that was about. I feel sorry for Elano, who scored a good goal, and it looked quite a bad injury. But a lot of the game was ruined for me, not by what was going on in the game, but by 2 people, that arrogant tosser Hansen, and Laurenson, who must be even more annoying than Mick McCarthy now. Maybe.

[steviecarnie]

what happened to the guy who got sent off for rivaldo in 02 if he got his card recinded then so will kaka, otherwise fifa's ruling is cant appeal yellow's and reds will only be recinded if mistaken identity.


From Wiki:
His early performance at the tournament was marred by his play-acting in the group match against Turkey (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkey_national_football_team).[10] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivaldo#cite_note-9) In the closing stages of the match, with the ball out of play, Turkish defender Hakan Ünsal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hakan_%C3%9Cnsal) kicked a ball towards Rivaldo, who was waiting at the corner flag. The ball struck his thigh, but Rivaldo fell to the ground clutching his face. The referee sent the Turkish player off with a second yellow card. After a video review, Rivaldo was fined 11,670 Swiss Francs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_Francs) by FIFA, 1,670 of which were for "costs".[11] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivaldo#cite_note-10)

[Hainan Hibs]

Don't want to see that at any football match but especially at the World Cup, I don't like seeing anyone get sent off at the WC as a result of cheating.

The referee didn't see it so I hope one of his assistants got it completely wrong because if he has based his decision solely on the IC players he has lowered himself to a truly shocking level of professionalism.

[Albanian Hibs]

If you are on about the incident with Winston Reid going down (and staying down), he was clearly poked in the eye, which is quite painful.

To compare what Italy were up to (and have been for years) to anything New Zealand did is very unfair.

[Phil MaGlass]

Kaka,s card should be rescinded and the IC player a straight red for trying to get another player sent off.

[nonshinyfinish]

what happened to the guy who got sent off for rivaldo in 02 if he got his card recinded then so will kaka, otherwise fifa's ruling is cant appeal yellow's and reds will only be recinded if mistaken identity.

Presumably nothing, since kicking the ball at Rivaldo was worth a yellow, regardless of where it actually hit him and what Rivaldo did afterwards.

Provided Kaka only gets a one match ban (and surely even FIFA couldn't managed to find any violent conduct in the replay) then it doesn't really matter - they've won the group, so he'll be 'rested' for the last game.

[GloryGlory]

Seen that so many times in other games without a pen being given.
England were very guilty of it.

For example, Zaliukas used to grab handfuls of Rob Jones's shirt and hold on at every corner or free kick and AFAIK was never penalised.
