Oh, this is fantastic, much appreciated.

He'd be a good guy to keep an eye on in this one.

Noted. Also random note, I wasn't aware the goalie could run out of the end line with the ball like the French did earlier. Guess there's still some subtleties about the rules I'm unaware of.

He can't. The linesman missed the call. Should have been a corner.

Ahh, I see. That would make much more sense.

Boring game as usual between 2 dead teams, hope we can see some individual action by Forlán and Ribery.

[Devolver]

Also I believe I seen something about it earlier in this thread, whats the deal with a new ball type they are using or something? Looks the same to me.

The new ball "moves weird" and is more difficult to control... it was evident in the first match as people kept shooting way over the goal. Every tournament they have an official type of ball they use for every match.

Like a different panel design or weight or something?

Man, that slow-mo on the knee jarring did not look nice.

Really shocked in a tie at half here.

Really?

France can't seem to get enough bodies in the right places to convert their chances, really should have been one up right at the start and Uruguay keeps giving away possession on sloppy passes.

Their strategy also seems to be "Pass it to Forlan" and there's a lot of times the wingers are wide open and they're passing into a crowded center.

Few good saves from the keepers though.

[Kang]

Every WC they bring out a new ball and everytime the players complain about it. Circle of life.

That's why I'm surprised. Seems France is on the verge of getting a couple goals, but just can't get their shit together.

[KoD]

Since they playing in cape town, there will be alot of dew on the ground this will be the reason for the bad traction

[volcanicweather]

2nd half begins

[Tagus]

and Henry warms up

[Tyche]

I hope Uruguay slams France. It'll make for a good first day of surprises.

Really though, 3:40
