He probably gave him the benefit of the doubt given that Neymar clearly dived and it was far from a goalscoring opportunity.

It has to be yellow IMO because he's not favourite to even reach the through ball.

I'd have to see it again but he was off running and is very quick. Hard to know. Looked a good shout for a red to me.

Sraight into their faces? You mean putting them under pressure. God help Spain if they cant handle teams actually not being cowardly and standing off them.

This is the beautiful game, played by the country playing the beautiful way?

I wouldn't have been surprised to see a red as it was last man through on goal. The dive was O.T.T but still a foul.

Im not disputing the foul but the behaviour of a so called world class player this tournament is simply despicable. I certainly wont be rooting for him to do well in his career.

In terms of class and ability he will never be a Messi.

The ref obviously didn't think it a dive.

Spain are coming back into it.

Mark Lawerson calls it wrong every time...

I thought his comment earlier on Pepe was funny but apart from that yeah I agree.

Montroseee

Fredinho having a stormer

SlickRic

I hate those shots.

McGrath5

Did Sergio Ramos bang Mark Lawerson's missus? Lawerson seems to have a vendetta against the bloke.

klose

What is with ramos and being allowed to take frees? Hes awful at them. Wouldnt be surprised to see mata get hooked

What did he say about Pepe?

Rezident

There was contact but after that he kept going for a bit and then he launches himself unnaturally into the air and comes crashing to the ground, it's silly and unnecessary and everyone knows it's a dive.

What? Brazil have always put teams under pressure because they want the ball back. You cant have the ball for 90 minutes.

It's quite literally a toss up between him and Houghton.

You mean Ray 'Hulk may be more physically imposing than Alba' Houghton.
The pitch is cutting up like they have 22 horses out there.

Messi's no stranger to ****-acting.

I'd say the reason he doesn't do it more is nothing to do with being a saint and more to do with him being better off playing on, particularly given that he can sortof bounce back up off the ground so quickly.

SlickRic

Gustavo is the best player on the pitch right now.

That_Guy

Spain really shítting themselves when Brazil are pressing them.

Neymar's diving is shocking stuff. He has get some kind of check on it but nothing I haven't seen from Italy. Messi will probably be on the out now.

Brazil are playing well but i dont think they can keep this momentum up. Spain will get to grips with this game and turn the screw. Brazil got a lucky goal from some keystone cops defending which admittedly is Spains achilles heel. However if they get the passing game together then they will get the chances.

I m enjoying this tournament in general due to my fondness for Brazil and how many people write them off all the time.

Arbeloa is a disgrace. How he is still on the Spanish team is a mystery.

Brazil are another disgrace, Supposedly best footballers on the planet? every chance they get straight into the faces of the Spanish.

Spain FTW.

NabyLadistheman

A game which involves so many Barca & Real players and people are shocked with the diving & rolling around? C'mon

donfers

Ramos pretending to be a defender there.

Not a chance will brazil be able to keep up this pressing all game, spain will come into it eventually.

Understood Sir! Yet barracking the other team and the referee, below their great standards!

Keep up good lad

Element of 'Holland 2010' about Brazil tonight in parts.
Ref is shíte. That was no free :mad: Spain very shaky at the back though and their goalkeeper is well and truly finished.

Nah Piqué was right beside him .

Spain look well and truly rattled.

That_Guy

This crowding around the ref from both teams is embarrassing. Book the lot of them and they'll stop doing it in future.

aindriu80

that was sooooo close !!

ctrl-alt-delete

Straight at him there from Fred.

Nolars

Shda scored that

Nuri Sahin

Great pass from Neymar, Fred should have buried that.

That_Guy

That ball from Neymar was sexy. Fred spurns another good chance.

GTR63

Man Germany are fair going to give Spain trouble next year if they catch them.
I miss Brian Kerr saying PeeKey and Raimus btw they'd be better off with lads named that than the 2 there tonite.

Johnny Utah

Fred bottled it a bit there, but decent save by Casillas all the same!

G.K.

Tame finish.

klose

Should be atleast 2 ahead by now

Is Cesc injured? Badly needed tonight. Brazil are like a soccer eqivalent of Donegal tonight with the intensity they are bringing to the game. To their credit theyve done their homework though i still think Spain will have a spell where they capitalise
