I'm waiting for a good result today, I know it's Brazil but we never had so good team like now. I hope we'll go through.

Halftime in the POL-BRA game. Polska up one-nil. Great freekick. Krol sent off for two yellow cards.

Gosh the commentators are f***ing stuipd. 20 seconds after the red card was shone, the fat guy goes, "...wait! Why is Krol walking to the tunnel?" "Did he get sent off?" *goes and counts players on the pitch* "He was given a red card?"

 

[ninobomba]

yeah this commentars freeking suck

Yeah that was f*ckin' embarassing! I couldn't beleive those idiots couln't tell he got sent off, it would have been nice to get a couple guys who actually watch soccer to be commentators here

when the guy started counting players I actually yelled "OH for F*CK's SAKE!"

 

[El Diablo Rojo]

What the hell? They are using field turf instead of real grass for this? What a rip off!

 

[treble41]

I think all the east coast stadiums have artificial turf but apparently they used that in the Peru Championships too.

I was laughing at the commentators too. I'm watching the game on a really bad internet stream and even I could see the guy get a red card. Plus the fact that he was crying and walking off the pitch while the commentator says that he needs to yellows to get a red. That commentator actually commentates American football/rugby games mainly and the CBC is too poor to afford proper commentators.

Just in 1 stadium for the U17 world cup as a test like that system to detect when the ball went past the line or not.

 

[Tosiek]

Thank you Poland:Bow:

 

[night]

Yesssss!!! Fantastic, simply fantastic!
We beat Brazil with 10 men

 

[Hopeunited]

Congrats to Poland, well-earned victory. Brazil lacked any fire today.

I like the Polish fan contingents lol. They are intense in supporting their team. Apparently a few thousand of them made their way up to Montreal from Mississauga.

 

[ninobomba]

yeah congrats, that was a really nice goal, and what a defence!. Pato had a pretty bad start too he had the chance to tie but sent the ball to the stands...

 

[treble41]

My city could've just gone to that game. It's almost all Poles or Serbs or Bosnians or Croatians and a few Macedonians. Anyways, this Argentina game looks game and squad looks fantastic.

 

[MaSsiVe]

did any of the Brazilians do any good today?
kind of a shock result

 

[Hopeunited]

The other South American powerhouse also being held by European opposition:
Argentina 0-0 Czech Republic

Neither Brazil or Argentina seemed to be creative or lethal enough to find a hole in the big European defenses.
