One Kick was blocked when GK jumped to a side.
Two Kicks would have been blocked if GK had stood in place.

Honest question, no insult implied.
Have you ever been involved in penalty kicks?

Will definitely not miss the numerous GEICO and VERIZON commercials.

Mathguy! I only caught the last ten minutes of extra time and the shootout. I'm seeing a lot of talk about Geiger, but what's your quick gut feeling on how he did today?
He called a very good game. He rose to the occasion when the players stopped playing. The last card in the craziness was at 69'. He got to 118' before the next one. The players responded to him and mostly played soccer. I think only Cakir handles that game better. My only complaint is how he allowed the Colombians to delay restarts.

I think players are starting to just rip it right up the center of the goal. Let's see if GKs adjust and just make themselves big in the middle.

Yes. Just making an observation.

4 1/2 minutes for the PK alone.

Thanks. Does it bode well for him getting another assignment?

There was also a yellow card given to England before the PK so it all the time wasn't just for the PK

Lalas would probably be sitting with a bottle of Fireball on set if it was the US

Yes. He should have carded the Captain. In any game I do I'm dealing with that. In the WC R16 with the constraints they are under? I don't know. I just don't. These guys are expected to manage players so differently.

My gut tells me he's done on the field, but likely VAR on a semi or the final. Cakir, Kuipers, Pitana have been equally good. So has Rocchi but since an Italian had the final last time he's not getting it this time. Geiger's biggest advantage is he's the only neutral left.

In their defense, if I was a TV commentator and A&M won the natty, they would probably have to tell me to put my pants back on.

Yeah. I thought it was traditional England when they were the first to miss. Not upset that I was wrong

How do you 8-5 blokes find time to watch these games? I'd be scared of my boss catching me watching.

I record the matches and watch em at home later, come to find 500 new responses here

I work from home and look up when the announcers get excited. But that being said, i didn't work today and could focus on this game.

I spent the last 3 weeks watching games during office hours between classes. Test days were the best. 4 hours of tests and 2 hours in between. 6 hour watch party.

same here work from home.... keep it on a side monitor and look over when something sounds imminent you can always tell by the announcers voices.

I used to do the same at work though for golf majors and soccer and other international things that tend to be on during the day. My bosses never seemed to care - it helped that I was a manger myself. As people found out about my interest they also wanted to watch but didn't have the guts I suppose....

so during the last WC we would book a seldom used out of the way conference room and have a meeting and invite those that wanted to watch and stream the game in there. We all had our laptops and would be working too but watching. anyone looking for you could see your calendar and see you were booked in a meeting - but the topic and agenda were private. lol
