Dude they had one bad call in the end yes, but people are acting like the only reason they lost is because of the ref which is nowhere near the case. They lost because they can't finish, but hey at least they completed more passes.

Two missed penalties at the end. Two.

Not to mention some questionable fouls at the end. They got screwed, you're just going the opposite way, it's your thing.

You're the Skip Bayless of the Soccer Board.

It's statements like this, and you agreeing with it, that make it impossible for me to even take you seriously.

Based on the content of your posts, I'd prefer you not take me seriously.

I watched the second half, i thought they got screwed as bad as any team I've ever seen in that 45 minutes. Sure, that's my opinion, but it wasn't solely based on the two PKs. He awarded quite a few fks for Honduras based on some hideous flops and dives. The only break Spain got was that Muniain really should have been sent off. (Then again, i recall a contentious red card in 09 CFC-FCB...) You rip me, but you've apparently come to your opinion on this match from watching highlights, which is fitting since your MO is making dumb shite posts based primarily on your pro-CFC bias and whatever predisposed prejudices you have.

You claim to hate diving but are cheering for the team that put on quite possibly the worst display of it I've ever seen, and why? Because you have some stereotyped view of how a Spanish team plays and can't be bothered to actually watch and judge based on what happens.

Be consistent. Step back and look at situations rationally. Be somewhat critical of your own team at some point. You'd be amazed at how people might actually begin to respect what you say if you do so.

Man, you're hating on all the board lingo. (And these things aren't only on TD, by the way.)

I want you to write in only The King's English from now on, sire. Dost thou knoweth of what I speaketh?

That's fine.

I've seen far worse.

That red card was weak when it happened but ultimately it came too late. Abidal should have been sent off way earlier in the match when he tackled Drogba from behind in the box as the last defender.

I watched as much of the match as you did and wouldn't being "pro-CFC" lead me to wanting the tema with two Chelsea players on it to win?

I have no love for Honduras or any other Mexican/Central/South American country I just enjoyed the irony of seeing how Spain reacted to the type of play they have so often embodied.

I always do.

It's hard to be too critical when you are Champions.

There are a few others who aren't reactionary tards based largely on one horribly clumsy "attack" by Nigel and actually noticed spain contributing to the shite show by flopping, diving, and embellishing for the majority of the 120 min.

The contrarian is on a first name basis with DeJong. Niiiiiice.

BTW, Van Bommel's shite was worse than DeJong.

The Netherlands should have played 80 minutes with ten players, 65 with nine.

Anyway, no need to rehash the obvious.

You are that Lamptard from Mayretta, of that I am sure. Why the blind and ignorant hate? What is your problem?

How do you feel about Drogba's playacting in the first leg of the Barcelona tie?

Undesirable for sure. Only thing in his defense is he was not diving and rolling around trying to get calls or cards just laying there trying to disrupt the game.

The most blatant red was on Puyol.
