Re: The Official 2010 FIFA World Cup Thread
Just to clear up this.
You have to have 2 people between you and the goal. The keeper came out for the cross so there was only the defender on the line between the scorer and the goal. Correctly given offside.

Re: The Official 2010 FIFA World Cup Thread
Yeah, little known rule since the GK is almost always the second player. It was funny watching the broadcast live. One of the commentators initially said the Mexicans were robbed of a goal since the South African defender was on the line, but then never said anything similar during later replays. You could tell someone in the booth whispered the rule in his ear and he tried not to bring his mistake to light.

Re: The Official 2010 FIFA World Cup Thread
I graduated from high school with Oguchi Onyewu so I always have to pull for the man! He was this tall skinny kid in high school but now he is a freaking beast. Glad to hear he's healthy now he just needs to kick the crap out of the Brits.

ESPN3.com will also give you multiple language feeds, closed captioning, ability to go directly to key plays, picture in picture, fantasy sports, and chat...among other things. Just sayin'

On the linear network? We don't have Spanish language rights. We have Portuguese language rights on ESPN Deportes, and English, Arabic, Portuguese, Korean, and German on ESPN3.com

Re: The Official 2010 FIFA World Cup Thread
im at work so i am on the company's provider. whatver that is.
the cbs sports ends up taking you to the univision site. the commentary is in spanish, which is fine. makes me feel bad about all the spanish i have already forgotten since college. south africa did a fine job in that draw. they played better than i would have expected.

Re: The Official 2010 FIFA World Cup Thread
That's what we have here at work (Comcast Business), so that's why I mentioned it. However, for most of the match, I had no sound. If I wanted to hear commentary, I had to refresh the browser.
Nice opening match, 1-1 draw. Give South Africa a bit of life and pressure Mexico into putting on better matches going forward.

Re: The Official 2010 FIFA World Cup Thread
I'm a big soccer fan and I love the World Cup. U.S. and Argentina are my teams. I almost got killed in 2002 for rooting for the US when we beat Mexico. I was living in Mexico City and watched it in a crowd of about 500 mexicans at a restaurant.
South Africa looked good in the second half once they calmed down. Mexico was technically strong, but just couldn't convert. I think they'll settle down and do well in their next two games. Shame. I love Mexico and the mexican people, but I hate their soccer team.

Re: The Official 2010 FIFA World Cup Thread
Why did they decide to hold the World Cup in a bee hive? That seems unfair to people who are allergic to bees.
That's crazy. The U.S. and Argentina are my two favorite teams as well. I guess great minds think alike.
