The Quadrennial Global Round-Ball Extravaganza
Inlander:
I don't think there was any contact. To me it looks like Torres is a few inches further away from the camera than the Chilean player; their legs are overlapping but I don't think they ever touch. Apart from anything else, there's absolutely no reaction from the Chilean player other than when he turns around because Torres's spectacular dive catches his attention. Getting hit on the knee is a pretty uncomfortable experience, and I would expect some kind of reaction - even just a wince - from the Chilean player if Torres's heel had hit his knee with enough impact to send Torres's right leg ricocheting into his left leg.
EDIT: actually looking at it again maybe the Chilean player does flinch a little; nonetheless the manner in which Torres falls is an out and out dive. Maybe he felt some impact but what he chose to do with it from there was pretty outrageous.

Viva Espaņa, bitches.

There are 4 British nations, 3 of whom all laughed when England were knocked out. Then there was also me who laughed because I am tired of the overhyped, overrated crap that call themselves international class players.

Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, not Great Britain.
And god damn it Germany.
KvP:
Paul is still 100% on the money in his predictions. Sussing the math out they say his odds of getting to this point by sheer coincidence were less than 2 in 100.
I'm back to being interested in the World Cup, now that the clear odds-on favorite to win (Germany) has been knocked out. I find affirmations of conventional wisdom in sports to be the most boring thing. So I'm curious!
David_Dovey:
Me too!
Noted Ridiculous Man Fernando Torres aside, I do hope Spain wins.
