From: Google Beta User on 27 Jun 2010 15:06 Messi is a wrecking ball. Just causes panic anytime he approaches the box. On the first goal, *ouch* at the referee AND the linesman both looking up at hte giant screen and both seeing the replay. Sucks. Video- technology is not an assualt on referees, it HELPS the referees. They're human. It'll never be 100% but obvious errors can be reduced. I don't think the referee at the England game felt good about himself when he saw the replay. On the second goal, Higuain shows that he's absolute class. They've been a couple of one on ones in this WC and most times I've seen the player instinctively just poke it forward, usually on the ground, and the GK saves. Higuain had the presence of mind to round the the goal keeper. A class goal.

I mean, two more are going home today, right? =) 2-0 now, Higuain, after a major blunder by Osorio. Game over. Abra�o, Luiz Mello
