Sneijder is one of the best players in the world but he simply isnt as talented/good as Messi and Ronaldo.Originally Posted by Xtapolapacetl
Weird how Wesley Sneijder can have the best individual soccer year in sport history:
Win the Italian League
Win the Italian Cup
Win Champions League
Win the World Cup
Be the top scorer of the World Cup
Be named the best player of the World Cup
And he still wouldn't be considered one of the truly elite players in the world along with Messi and Ronaldo. In fact, he might not even be considered the best in his country as Robben would still probably rank higher than him on the top *insert number* lists.
I gotta say the group stages were damn boring. However, these latter stage games have more than made up for them. As far as I can remember, the only game that I've been somewhat unimpressed by was the Paraguay v Japan game. Otherwise, these Ro16, QF and SF games have beenOriginally Posted by Carlos Tevez

I enjoy seeing him and Robben succeed after they were both kicked to the curb by Real Madrid and have since gone on to have possibly the best seasons of their careers so far
Who are the people who said this WC sucked/was boring? This is probably one of the better WCs in recent memory. Personally I feel it's up there with the 1994 WC. The 2nd round has featured plenty of drama, surprises and the high scoring results probably make this tournament very appealing to casual fans.

To me, what Suarez did was heroic and commendable. He sacrificed himself and an opportunity to shine on the semifinal stage at a crucial point in his career so that his team might have an ever-so-slight chance to advance. If Gyan would have stepped up and made the penalty like a competent striker should have, Uruguay would have been punished justly for what they did right then and there.
Heroic but at the same time stupid. Only him and Forlan run that team. This dude had Forlan work like a horse today (nice goal btw) and you clearly saw his frustrations today because he had nobody to pass to.
There was NO offsides. I dont know what the hell you guys are seeing.
They're bitter they're teams are just fishing right now.
Oh wait, if one of these haters are England/English futbol fans, you can start the EPL at this moment while the WC is still happening.

The game has built in penalties, so something can really only be cheating if the player doesn't get caught.
And I don't really agree that this sets some bad precedent, because the scenario is way too rare. A game has to be tied, in the dying moments, and a ball has to be clearly going in with a player in perfect position to slap it away instead of the goalkeeper. If there is even 5 minutes left in the game, most players would let the goal in and try to get it back rather than get ejected and give up a penalty.
