Did any of the offside players touch the ball for that disallowed goal?

I'll tell you what i can see - Switzerland (even before the sending off) are not terribly interested in playing a bit of ball.

I think the guy who ran to the sideline celebrating as if he had won the lotto was one of the 3 offside players. So I think he was claiming it which made it easy for the linesman.

Idiot, had Sanchez down for first goal scorer too! Justice down now anyway, please let Honduras beat Switzerland because I couldn't bear them being in the last 16.

Is Waldo Ponce the best name at the World Cup??

VERA is not bad... scored for Paraguay (I think) yesterday.

This group is still very tight, a tense final game, for Spain the Swiss and Chile is on the cards.

The swiss v Chile game had a good finish but if they don't improve their finishing, the won't get far.

Derdyok the Swiss striker had a great chance to steal the draw,but he blew it.

Was thinking the same myself, that's 2 games where the Chileans couldn't kill the game off. They were almost punished today and almost certainly will be against a better team. Think the Spain and Chile game is gonna be class!

Playing Chile is akin to getting attacked by a swarm of angry wasps.

It would be nice if Spain could finish 2nd, sets up a juicy last 16 game.

Excluding Brazil that is the goal of the tournament.

Some goal by Villa there.
It's only one though. Spain should be home and hosed by now.

Good stuff. Wonder if we'll get a repeat of Portugal and North Korea now?
