This game is amazing!

SAVED!!!

Should they have had a second for the foul by the keeper?!

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Unbelievable.

 

[Horsham Gull]

[Mackenzie]

That was mental.

 

[mistahclarke]

certainly livened the game up

 

[tedebear]

very good refereeing!! (not sure how you spell that)

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Never seen anything like those 5 minutes!

Game well and truly ON

 

[defrocked priest]

Crazy stuff

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Spain very unlucky not to have a second pen awarded

 

[Aldo]

Should of had a pen straight after

Lots of penalty fun in this World Cup, and not in the usual way.

I think Villa dived for Spain's penalty, but that said, if the ref thought it was a foul then it should have been red.

Haha, clear case for a third penalty immediately after Alonso misses

The offences that warrant a red card are defined in FIFA’s Laws of the Game

Being guilty of ‘serious foul play’ (for instance, a very dangerous tackle).
Violence.
Spitting at an opponent or other person.
Denying the other side an opportunity to score by handling the ball.
Denying the other side an opportunity to score by fouling a player.
Offensive or abusive language or gestures.
Players frequently criticise the referee’s decision to ‘book’ them and it is quite ordinary for a yellow card to be upgraded to a red when they argue against his decision.

The system of coloured cards was invented in 1970 by a British Referee called Ken Aston, who came up with the idea while waiting at traffic lights on Kensington High Street.

Should have been a penalty and a red card for the goalie.

 

[perseus]

PS: I do not know what an opportunity to score is in this match. It would have to be closer than 12 yards. And without a goalkeeper in the way.

 

[SNOOBS]

Unbelievable refereeing
-players encroach on Paraguays penalty - nothing given.
-fails to send off Alcaraz when Villa's through on goal.
-penalty ordered to be retaken when both set of players encroach, even though ball goes straight in
-stone wall denied on the follow up

I think Villa dived for Spain's penalty, but that said, if the ref thought it was a foul then it should have been red.

Definitely, he backed up and let the Paraguayan defender's momentum take him through on him and then fell over like he'd been shot.

Villa made the most of the challenge but the defender definitely clattered into the back of him.
