Stuart Holden and John Strong are in Russia. Are they the only game announcers there? I thought they were in a studio in LA.
Meola's team is there too. No idea why.

We lucked out considering how bad some of these calls have been.

Seriously, that reeks of favorable officiating. Clearly a hand ball on replay.

considering he has erred on both sides now to me it reeks of incompetent officiating

this dude has been horrendous all game. PKs do not get any more clear than that

Still amazed they took a look at that and still don't make the absolute 100% correct call which was a PK.

I've reffed for 17 years.

I no longer know what handling is.

Kick a guy in the balls, then flop. Soccer is fun.

"He had options, he chose the wrong one, but it's alright, it's fine."

This announcer sucks.

One of the more entertaining 0-0 games I've seen. Application of fouls on the field vs. video replay with 100% proof. I find it hard to believe that a ref could mess that up without bias or cowardice.

Some big misses on both sides. Overall, we're fortunate to be tied right now.

Mexico needs to score because I don't see Sweden missing every single chance.

Sloppy, they just look unorganized and nervous. Dominating possession but not attacking well. They keep taking shots directly at Korean defenders and bouncing off.

Sweden has looked like the better side most of the time, but Mexico has had some good chances. Ochoa has bailed them out a couple of times with some excellent saves.

That missed handball call was pretty awful though.

Clearly the kickee had brass balls. That's very painful.

Clear indication for the magic spray.

I think it's a 50/50 call to be honest. If you look at it from behind, it doesn't look like he had anywhere else to put his arm.

I'm fine with the blatant homer-ism, but the orgasmic shrieking every time the ball crosses into Mexico's third of the field is tiresome.

It's The Simpsons Spanish language soccer parody in real life.

Unimpressive as throughout this tournament. 71% of possession in the first half but don't look much of a threat to score apart from set pieces.

So if Germany and Sweden win 1-0 who goes thru?

All three teams would be 3 GF and 2 GA with 6 points. Does it come down to fair play (yellow cards)?

that was not a 50/50 call...that was 100% a penalty

its mindboggling that he did not call it on the field and absolutely unacceptable that he did not call it after review

I can't watch Telemundo, I have DirecTV.

Those 14 hours of Spanish at A&M could really be paying off right now.

Germany and Sweden on goals scored in the matches between the 3 teams, as Mexico would have scored 1, and Germany and Sweden would both have 2

then Germany would be 1st and Sweden second on head to head
