Technically yes but a knee flying in at head height is not really fair game

Ya I mean I agree with that part but I didn't feel like it put his knee up to put in to to his head just happened to be how he went up.

No. Even if you hit the ball first, you have to mind the opposing player. Imagine a sliding tackle, you will hit the ball first almost always and then break the other guys ankle. The rule is like this. Ball first then player maybe yellow, no ball = yellow maybe red.

Here I am, sitting and yawning at this game. I'm so bored I decided to open up the laptop and surf the net. As a non-sporting guy, is this game so far considered dull? normal? exciting?

From what I understand this is pretty standard for a soccer game between two good teams, the problem I believe is you like me don't understand the small details that might be going on in this game that is keeping it scoreless or "dull" for us. I suppose the best example I could come up with is watching an amazing defense in american football shut out a team, unless you are a defensive minded person and understand it that would probably be boring for you to watch.

82 minutes and still nothing, good thing evo finals are today with mad hype~

Germany has stepped up here. Dangerous things are happening at both ends of the field.

Kroos should have at least a goal - scuffed both of his good chances. Both teams looking tired now, hope this isn't settled by bullshit penalties!

It will. Because thats how soccer is. They play not to lose, and only really try when they are left with penalty kicks.

Germany was trying. I think. Seemed to spend most of the 2nd half in the Argentina zone at least. Fuck if I know. 0-0, awesome.

He should be off
