^Bare in mind that only the one on the far right is Paraguayan.

In that case, the girl with light blue in her hair and -GUAY on her ... must be URU-.

Hella nice. Sorry babe for having to put your country out next. :naaa:

OT: Spain unimpressive, still.

Maybe we'll get that all -guay 3rd-place-final...

Not with referees or anything. Maybe with the way the game yesterday developed, but that's different.

And we don't have good luck only. Mathijsen's injury for example.

Yeah, but luck is still luck.

Meh, injuries happen, so I don't count that. Everyones got injured players

EDIT: I wanna know who voted for Paraguay :lol:

EDIT x2: I didn't see the later post for the Nicaragua. I just rushed and posted in ASAP :lol: My bad. :D

No I don't agree.

I don't mind winning by having the luck of an own goal and a red card for the opposition, but I would feel bad about a goal being disallowed unfairly (like Lampard's and maybe this one too. If this was offside so was Villa v Portugal. Getting both those calls has nothing to do with a lucky bounce, but with referee failure.)

To be fair I do think this can be counted as luck. I think the linesmen was flagging Cardozo as offside but the ball went passed him and onto Valdez. I think they're unlucky that the linesmen flagged him before Valdez had that chance
