    He said he comes from a land down under! (Maaaate!
    If a player gets a red card, can he appeal the 1 week ban?

    It's a one game ban, and will be only overturned if FIFA seem fit. Or even extended if they seem fit.

    So can the player appeal it? meaning thats unfair lets go to court sorta thing

    In AFL if you get reported you can go before the jury lol and defend your actions.

    As far as I know they're all "investigated" anyway, so he doesn;t need to appeal as FIFA will check every red card themselves and issue the ban of 0 games (basically overturn it) 1 game (standard) or 2+ if its a bad foul/incident.

    So to answer, no he can't appeal. But they will be looked at anyway so its the same process.

    Well swiss never kept their plan a secret, play with 10 men behind the ball at all times.
    They played defensively, and easily stopped spain going down the wings and through the middle. The only decent shots were outside the area. Spain got nowhere near tbh.

    Spain would always push more for a goal, came out the second half fighting for the win. Leaving the defense a bit sloppy.
    Quick counter attack/sloppy defending/goalkeeping left spain 1-0 down and swiss now playing 10 men in the 18 yard box for 40mins :D

    Quite a decent game tbh.

    If anyone watched inters tactics with jose moruniho, they played very similar. Let them have the ball, let them have midfield, they cant do any damage from there.

    Boring to watch, but its a tactic to win the game :)

    Wow, I can't believe Spain lost :( I was thinking they were gonna win the whole thing. But now Germany might, since Brazil didn't impress me much either.

    Greece 2 - 1 Nigeria

    Nigeria get an early goal, completely in control of the game and lookg in danger of running away with the game 3-0 or even better.
    Kaiti with a horrible tackle, gets sent off for Nigeria. pointless and nasty tackle.

    Needless to say, greece vs 10 men = 2 goals for greece.

    Nigeria threw away this game.

    quite a number of reds so far..

    but it seems like the players do deserve them. surprisingly there ain't that many errors from the refs.

    lol..argentina won 4-1 ?!
    and i thought that SKorea might be able to at least get a draw :D..
    Higuain's value will only go up up and up after this WC..

    tbh the 4-1 scoreline was VERY flattering for Argentina. They deserved to win, but thier defense was terrible. And the goals after 2-1 was just luck/lazyness.

    I can see them going a fair distance in the WC but they wont go to the end unless they learn how to defend.

    lol well, their defense ain't that well-known, at least now to me XD out of the 7 defenders, i only know Gabriel Heinze and Walter Samuel LOL !..they should take Riquelme along man. if they meet with teams playing with 10 defenders & a keeper, its those free-kicks and corners that will give them a chance to score..

    yeah, france is going out i guess..thought they might at least make the next round, but well, without a really good playmaker, they ain't going anywhere.















    edit : after the USA match..

    the 2nd goal from USA was really good..good vision from Donovan, good header from Altidore and a good finish from Bradley..they played really slow though, kinda funny compare to EPL :D..i really do think that USA deserve to even win this..lol and seriously i had a gut feeling that they were gonna score again after the 2nd goal, they really did but it was disallowed by the ref..a major mistake IMO..there was nothing wrong with the goal !

    lol germans lost to serbia !! wth !! how was the match like SoC ?

    USA tied with Slovenia 3-2.

    I want to see that ref explain something. I don't understand much soccer/football/futbol but on the replays I don't see anything wrong from USA but I see a lot of hugging from the Slovenian players lol.

    I remember the Korean-Argentina match being really big for my school. There's a lot of Koreans in my school, and they were so bummed out when the score ended up resulting in a 1-4
