Thanks for your response I kid you not, just a few minutes after I typed this question, there was a play that happened between France and Honduras and I could hear the referee yelling at the player in Spanish. But, he would only say one or two words. So yes, thanks for telling me the answer to this question. I'll see if I can hear their broken English
I guess they can also use body language to see if a player is being rude to the referee and gets the red card Well, obviously some people know some Spanish too. Players, for instance, often pick up other languages from playing in other leagues, and the refs know where they play, so if a Japanese player plays in Italy and the refs knows some Italian, he will of course talk in Italian to him. That said, however, most non-English refs hardly ever bother explaining their decision and simply control the game by hand-signs, or say something like 'carerul, one more and it's a yellow!' at a stretch. | |

Anyone watching the Argentina Bosnia match?
If the Bosnian own goal is the only goal of this match (which i'm suspecting may well be the case) I'm gutted for Bosnia, cos they are playing better than Argentina right now.. One minute they want peace……
Then do everything to make it go away. | |

Well, that's more like it Messi I thought Bosnia had figured out how to block him.
Lovely goal. One minute they want peace……

Messi had a rather disappointing game, I thought. And his goal was deflected even... Still, Bosnis lacked the grit and final ball to truly hurt Argentina. | |

Yeah, Bosnia had good ideas but their finishing was terrible, so very few 'legitmate' goals from them.
It wasnt the best match this tornament but perhaps Argentina can redeem themselves.

Portugal failing miserably as well
right now, Brazil, Italy and Germany are by far the fittest teams...

I think the Portugal team are struggle to settle in Brazil due to the language barrier! If the milk turns out to be sour, I aint the kinda pussy to drink it! | |

I wouldn't say Italy. Sure they beat us (England), but we played better, and they barely had any shots after 2-1 up. That style of play will (hopefully) be their own undoing. I hate it when teams close up and put everyone behind the ball when they take the lead. I admit England usually do that too though LOL. Hopefully not this time though...
Bosnia surprised me. Very good at closing people down, something England could learn from LOL.
Other than the 0-0 draw between Nigeria and Iran, it's been a good world cup so far. Not every game is gonna be a classic, but the goal difference from 4 years ago is already double from what I heard, so thats good.
As for USA and Ghana, congrats to USA as it was a must win game really. DissaPointed in Ghana. USA and Germany should be interesting as USA's manager Klingsman is a legend in Germany LOL. An upset maybe?
Germany always look good but also always seem to underperform in the knockout stages. Too early to tell for anyone at the moment....Croatia were robbed with that disallowed goal though. WTF was that about?

Too early to tell. USA tend to get throiugh their group, so that won't be surprising. Having said that, the group they are in is tough and anything could happen.

I wonder if Honduras can get 3 red cards in 3 consecutive games LOL. Dirty fuckers. Couldn't believe how dirty they were against England in our friendly, then again against France. Seriously they are the dirtiest team I have seen in awhile.

I wished for Russia's loss! Not happy they didn't lose And I can't believe someone like Pepe of Portugal are allowed at world cup! All members must have worked so hard for years and years for this opportunity and how does one decide to act so immaturely and ruin it for everyone? | |

key players from the 10-12 era (Iniesta, Pique, Busquets, Ramos) out of shape due to injuries (mostly) during 2014, other veteran players near retirement (Alonso, Xavi, Casillas, Torres, Villa) or retired already! (Puyol)
end of an era... | |
