I have a hard time imagining that the ref couldn't : have seen it either. I agree, will add that the real problem is that those plays are so unevenly called. Still, Uruguay are sitting back way too much and the gods should punish it. They looked way better when trying to control the play. I do predict Uruguay will run out of gas faster. -- ciao, Bruce drift wave turbulence: http://www.rzg.mpg.de/~bds/

Actually it does... the word intentional is pretty prominent in the relevant clauses in the Laws. -- ciao, Bruce drift wave turbulence: http://www.rzg.mpg.de/~bds/

Embarassing for both FIFA and South Africa. : Gamewise, Uruguay dodge a bullet in the 2nd minute as Park Jisung is on : a good run, has two teammates with him in good positions each, and flubs : his attempt to pass to one of them. A good pass and South Korea is on : the board in the 2nd minute, I think. Well well well Korea get a lucky bounce in the air off the heads and they put it in. A richly deserved 1-1. Now it is advantage to the Koreans because they won't sit back and they've got the momentum. -- ciao, Bruce drift wave turbulence: http://www.rzg.mpg.de/~bds/
