Duffman Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 You know that as the players are shaking hands and swapping shirts, Samaras is taking a ball and firing into an empty net, just to scratch the itch. I'm surprised it went in... I kid:p Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzler Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Until Nigeria went down to 10 men Greece weren't really in that for me That bloody breakway chance from Nigeria just after the red, how did they both miss? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt1389 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 This is the worst part of the WC now, the wait. I want more! Feel bad for Nigeria, should have comfortably won this if it wasn't for one player letting them down. Greece still looked poor, even against 10 men.

Pires777 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Yakubu was unlucky...good save from the keeper. Obasi on the other hand.... You would think after all the exposure these African players have in europe, they would have some sort of tactical awareness and be disciplined.

Razzler Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 True, thanks to Korea's hammering they really only need to beat Korea and Greece to lose against possibly a 2nd string Argentina (?) Don't see Nigeria beating Korea at the moment though, draw might even be enough for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever gets first and second deserves to go through. If that's Argentina and South Korea, then Argentina and South Korea were the better teams. If that is Argentina and Greece, then it's because Argentina and Greece were the better teams.

Why keep bringing up that it would have still been a red card if the Greek player had chosen not to disgrace himself? No one is disputing that. Hopefully FIFA will fine him the same they did as Rivaldo, it lowers the game regardless if it wouldn't have impacted the call. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Watched it again on youtube, from three different angles. No contact visible. He kicks forward, only place where he could possibly have visibly touched the fakers leg would be on the side, which is not the direction in which his foot moves. Fake, all the way. Little does it matter, so deny it if it makes you feel better. See you at the next tournament because you're out of this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(there must be a reason for the hate) It is supposed to be a red card. For the player that started it. Which was actually the dirty cheating Greek mentioned above. He visibly gave Kaita a wee shove away from him right before the incident. And if you say, "Oh, you can't retaliate", please. The Greek player wouldn't have gotten a card for that shove unless Kaita had fallen down and moaned for two minutes. Then for Torosidis to take such a despicable dive, and later score the winner, it's appalling tbh. I agree with DJ here, (hopefully) goodbye, and good riddance Greece.

Oypus Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Right of way? There's no such thing as right of way, there is such a thing as a player making physical contact with another, and even it's your own team, you get a card if the intent is malicious, or just a poor tackle. Give both of them yellows for general idiocy, because that's all this really was. Things got a little heated, for basically nothing. The referee is there to enforce the rules and keep the game as close to civil as possible. It was still early on in the match, there wasn't really a need for it. Then give Torosidis another yellow for diving. Problem solved, and the right player has been sent off. Maybe I can dream, and FIFA will do something about this incident. Then about De Rossi's the other day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icondacarver Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 Kaita was stupid and deserved a red while the Greek player was a dirty cheating rat of Rivaldo standards. The good thing is we wont see Kaita anymore and those cheating, boring Greek players can go home after one more game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
