Yesterday's game between Uruguay and South Korea was one of the more exciting games I've seen so far, mostly due to the fact that neither team played much defense. Luis Suarez's goal in the 80th minute was an absolute stunner, and after the game the announcer said that Korea shouldn't hang their heads, as they got beat by the goal of the tournament - and he was bang on.
An unreal goal in the rain to push Uruguay through to the final 8.Another fantastic goal came in yesterday's Ghana/United States game - in the first game that's gone to an extr
a 30 minutes so far, Ghana's Asamoah Gyan scored a beauty after a long run to lift the sole remaining African nation.A great goal, a heartbreaking loss for the Americans, but I'll be honest, I cheer for anyone but the States, so good on Ghana.
Perhaps the goal of the group stages belongs to Spain's David Villa, the footwor
k, the control, and the finish he showed in scoring that goal against Honduras - absolutely brilliant. Spain still look like one of the teams to beat, even though they had that - let's call it a hiccup - against Switzerland.Right at the moment I'm watching the shootout against Germany and England. It's been a run-and-gun affair so far, and it should be tied at 2, but due to the lack of video replay (or people paying attention), it's 2-1 Germany. Bad break for the English, but I'm confident the boys in their stellar reds can make it back and take down ze Germans.
Although I do find it interesting that in this day and age of technology and cameras, they don't have the ability to overturn missed goals in the biggest of stages like the World Cup. A bit of a head-scratcher there.
