There is no over time in World Cup group matches. Need to wait for the knockouts.
Sucky game.

Overtime is only used in play-offs where a draw is not allowed. In leagues a draw gives you one point while a win gives you three.
In the next round there will be overtime, penalties and even sudden death penalties if the game isn't decided at full time.

Australia versus Spain. What a dreadful game. Deprived of its only striker (Cahill, who was suspended per yellow-card rule) and a defence as tight as a fishnet stocking against mosquitoes, we were lucky to get away with a 3 - 0 loss, and the only reason Spain looked reasonably good is that we were so atrociously bad. Well, at least they knew how to have a shot at goal. Both of us well and truly deserve getting booted out of the tournament.

I wondered if Spain would win anything before getting the boot, now I wonder about Greece.

How are all the England haters going to enjoy today's match against Costa Rica, seeing as England are already out? It's not really the same as England tripping up when qualification is in sight.
Anyway, Italy v. Uruguay is going to be the game to watch.

So who won? my bet was on Uruguay, but the spaghetti munchers are supposed to be good.

It was pretty toothless but Suarez got his fangs stuck in, got to the root of the problem and then Uruguay crowned it with a goal.

SK is coughing up blood, but not technically a corpse yet.

Suarez has already had two lengthy bans at club level for biting opponents. It seems unthinkable that FIFA would not throw the book at him here. Just for the sake of their own credibility, they have to ban him for the rest of the competition, and then some.
