its difficult but its possible

so 1st half holland looked ok, second half they lost control midfield, but Ivory coast couldn't capitalise. Wonder who'll be Hollands challengers in the 8th finals...if they play like the second half, they'll die

Yep, Holland didn't even build up an attack in de 2nd half.. most of the possession was lost due to a long ball (something that doesn't fit their style). Even van der Sar kicked the ball to the other side a few times.
It was a panicky played 2nd half, much enjoyable. I really had the wind up all of the time.

well i'm really happy i was proved wrong about the argentinians tonight, fantastic football.. i bet other teams will be well wary as they look to be the serious faves all of a sudden... no team has played like this since it all started. i'm glad Messi came on, he's a natural.
it was the attitude i hated against the ivory coast, but tonight the attitude was superb.. in fact i love the dutch team, but they played rough against the ivory coast today... maybe it's an ego thing i dunno.

Ghana plays how football should be played. Still playing offensive while having the lead, no big ego's, all willing to fight till the end.
Great match!

it was a shame that ivory coast got kicked so soon
ghana played well against italy, and now this... considering their last match is against usa, they have good chnaces of going through
zcechs must be carful now... lets see what italy does tonight
most exciting group after the second match

great football today.
i'm personally a little disappointed with the results, but the games were way exciting.
nice to see Zambrotta and Del Piero working that right flank together, they both played pretty excellent i thought.
the OG was pretty lame. it seems like Italy has had trouble filling that right back spot for years now... first Panucci and now Zaccardo... shite really.

Off-side. And a very clear one. Check out Wiki. If you know what off-side is, there is nothing hard in soccer rules left for you to learn.

offside = being behind enemy lines
your country on one side, then the evemy country on the other, and the offside individual, is behind the enemy, taking out their communications and calling in airstrikes.

offside: (general situation)
being between the last defender and the goalkeeper in the moment that someone from your team hits the ball to pass it to you
there are some other situations, but this is like the general basis.
also if a player from your team hits the ball, as a shot on goal, and you are between the last defender and the goalkeeper and you disturb the goalkeeper´s visibility or movility. (this is, if you have influence in the result of the game)
if the ball comes from a player from other team, it is not offside, no matter what your position is
if you are already behind the goalkeeper, there must be two defenders ahead of you, if there is none or just one (in the moment of the pass) then its offside
if the pass doesnt go to the player who is offside, but goes to a player that is in correct position, and then he scores, that is not offside, cos you didnt make any influence in the game... but if afterwards that other player passes the ball to you, then its offside cos you are taking advantage of your pevious illegal situation
there must be some other cases I dont remember now

this is all valid for when it happens in the other team´s half field
if it happened when you are still in your half field it is not offside
