Paraguay vs. Japan - 3pm - RTE2 and ITV1HD

Fizman

You guys are lucky. I wish my stream would die.

Cypher_sounds

the defender got a face full of balls there:p

keano_afc

First bit of excitement! Nice knee to the jaw from the keeper.

Warper

Hoepfully it goes to a shootout and I mean a shootout.

UnitedIrishman

Edgar Barretto.. Used to be half decent from what I remember.

I'm contemplating watching Judge Judy, thats how bad things have got. Actually, Wimbledon - nice one.

Stevecw

Blow the final whistle now. And get the penos started.

Random interesting fact: From 1990 onwards, exactly one match in the second round has gone to a penalty shootout; IRE-ROU (1990), BUL-MEX (1994), ARG-ENG (1998), ESP-IRE (2002) and SUI-UKR (2006). Only one involved a South American team and they won

redout

Fcuk me but Spain or Portugal will practically have a bye into the Semi-final.

Shocking stuff out there.

I'm actually wishing Italy was here... they made it interesting with their ****e defence

Stevecw

This is painful. Only thing enjoyable about it is the money I had on for 0-0, but only put a tenner on. Should have known better.

Mweelrea

Pretty poor game, should be an easy win for Spain or Portugal in the next round

Im just pointing it out. No surprise west-brits like yourself have no problem.

So I'm a West Brit for not getting into a hissy fit over an innocent, unmalicious mistake?

Anyone remember getting up at 7:30am for Paraguay vs Germany in 2002 world cup?
I don't think I am ever going to watch Paraguay in 2nd round again.

WesternZulu

Eamo is at it again

I remember they were absolutely awful to watch in the last world cup as well.

That_Guy

Just play the first half and go to peno's. Please!!!

That_Guy

Valdes unlucky. Good defending though.

dolliemix

Japanese were in seriously trouble there. Paraguay should have finished that off

marco_polo

Going by this thread then, I gather the best option is to catch the inevitable penalty shootout on the news, and get and early night giving the 'highlights' show a wide berth.

Pity I expected a better game between West Brazil and East Korea.

Nice, I popped in here to get a bit of info on the game I can't watch at the moment and end up with a dose of AH clap and a sprinkling of Political herpes, thanks very much :mad:

tbh, it's better than the actual game.

Although that's setting the bar fairly low to begin with...

dolliemix

Both teams are wrecked! But I think Japan are inching towards a goal.....

It's Rymans League football being played out on world stage.

Two decent chances I can remember. It's now extra-time and barring a minor miracle penalties which I will be backing Japan for.

Pauleta

Yes half time. I hope they show loads of ads or Eamon gives us more cooking tips.

Bob the Seducer

Yay, 15 minute to go (Why do I feel like I've been watching the first 23 hours of the Le Mans 24 hour?)

That_Guy

Knowing this lot they'll even make peno's look boring.

blackalicious

terrible match, i just hope someone doesn't score now, the entertainment of penalties is needed

_Bella_

It would be disappointing if someone scored... we deserve penalties now!

Podge2k7

Less than 10 mins from a peno shootout. Hopefully no one scores

_Bella_

Thats a blow for Japan if they do go through... Endo is one of their best players

Fizman

Play advantage ref you plonker. Even the Paraguayans were giving out to him!

_Bella_

They all look half dead

Iago

Stay on-topic please, regardless of how bored you are with the game in question

That_Guy

Harsh yellow.

In my mother's house at the moment, was just having a smoke, she's in the kitchen making dinner and I mentioned that there's possible penos.

In she sneaks to the tv room "Have they started yet"

No-one better score now

Oh yeah, i'd forgotton about that one. And just as I was about to enjoy penalties, Germany scored right at the end. I hate Paraguay now, hope Japan beat them on penos now, and that they never qualify again!!!

_Bella_

So penalties... its hard to tell who will win

mike65

Yay! Penos!

/sorry....

Extra time according to RTE :rolleyes::p

Yes! Penalties!

They're both losers.

UnitedIrishman

Yay! That was a horrible game.

Japan to win on pens I reckon.

Blazer

woohoo..I love penalty shootouts

Fizman

I think Gonorrhea would have been more enjoyable to sit through than that.

Bob the Seducer

PK戦

がんばって日本!

Penalties, come on Japan!

That_Guy

Capital of Paraguay..... P?

applehunter

For the boiler suits alone lets see Japan sent home in their bus.

eagle eye

I enjoyed every minute of it. I do prefer games with goals obv, but I really love watching a classy defense like Paraguay.

I hope they win it but I feel the advantage is with Japan because their keeper will have had much more video available on the Parguayans taking penos than Villar will have on the Japs.

Stevecw

Money won, penalty shoot out now!! Loving this match.

Hope Japan win this

Mr.Nice Guy

Come on Japan!
