very good article, whilst i will admit i am a bit biased to torres, if you watch his feet carefully he almost trips over his own feet, falls as you would from a loss of balance but really made a meal out of it


What do you think about the FourFourTwo blog Diving right in?
Sometimes I have this sneaking suspicion that Marco Rodriguez is out to ruin my World Cup. First up, he controversially sent off our very own Tim Cahill against Germany and now he decided he would go ...

Have your say.

surely the ref consulted with his linesmen because making blind decisions like that are very unfitting of a 'world cup ref' oh sorry my mistake. its been very consistent at least for this fool of a ref.

I like torres but this was a sour note for him and he certainly hasn't be performing like the other stars. problems getting back to fitness + injuries + long season (which seem to be the blame layed down on a few from the last major tournament) but those are excuses, he should be doing more. other than that estrada was dealt a hard blow and I love chile. Spain on the other hand are doing a good job with villa netting them in. Happy to see both progress to the 2nd round but chile attempt at progress against brazil is going to be tough but they can do it.

Spain will beat ronaldo. enough said!
