Again, I am against instant reply.. it will make soccer feel like Football, you lose momemtum every time you need to stop and watch the errors we commit as humans.. Will make the referees more incompetents and lazy.. Hey, someone posted prior.. if the referee make a bad call, let the crowd take care of it, LOL

For the sake of the sport.. I feel a lot better screaming at the TV when the players making bad moves and specially the bad calls from the referees.. I enjoy technology from the comfort of my own home..

Now, let’s watch the game - S..#!t, I hope technology is not monitoring me during working hours because I may get a Red Card...

Exactly. With or without technology, bad calls will happen. If it isn't the goal line, then it's the off-site, and then it's yet something else that will be disputed and calls will be made to introduce this, that or the other technology to rectify additional opportunities for bad calls. It'll never end. And bad calls will continue all the same. One day, we'll have a computer make the call and then there will be claims that FIFA allowed someone to hack into the system and manipulate it to one team's favor. It's all girlie and geeky stuff. Leave that to the girls and geeks and leave soccer to the guys.

You seem to be feeling inadequate. Computers are better than people at determining whether or not a ball crossed a line. The fact that this makes you resort to third grade level name-calling tells me you are compensating for something.

Sure seems like I hit a nerve here.

Either way, I'll be busy enjoying what will hopefully an exciting match. Without computers.

Not a nerve. I'm a geek and am content with that.

You just seem like an insecure old man when, in the modern world, you attempt to associate the suggestion that a computer be used to perform basic functions with geeks and girls.

I'm neither old nor insecure but thanks for your concern. Keep watching American football - it's got everything you want.

Dull start but you guys seem to find your rhythm. Given the performance during the already lapsed time, it would take a miracle for Chile to pull off a win.

[DoneWaiting 15]

Yes, 2 - 0 .. and lets keep it 0 on the other side..

I find Brazil to be playing fairly good this time.. not a lot of selfishness going on during this game.. Hopefully, we will keep the score or improve on it.. But, the game is not over until the 90s minute [if no over time]..

Good game so far

[Ladylethal 12]

I hope Brasil doesn't go into relax mode as they sometimes do, and I hope they score one more time at least to have a solid lead.

Chile's playing really well so I won't breath easily till the game is over, as it's not impossible for them to catch up, since both teams play a bit open counterattacks can change the game.

w00t !!!

Goooooooooooo Brazil !!!!

I am at work watching the game and screaming and yelling... the patients look at me like I have 3 heads

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Adiós Chile.
