Spain vs. Switzerland

best game so far, I was jumping all over the room.

for real now, fifa needs to save this world cup before its dead, nobody can stand these 1-0 anymore. Its getting pathetic.
1.5 goals a game on average or one every 55 MINUTES (!) As much as I like football, the games are too fucking boring. whos with me?
 


Agree, but it will get better. The opening games are rarely good as the cost of losing is potentially too high.

Witness Spain today, there's a good chance they'll now be playing Brazil in the 16.
 
FIFA makes a nice little $3.000.000.000 (that's 3 billion) US dollars, no matter the goals, penalties, bloody shirts.

Ballin'

Spain vs. Switzerland, nice game. Another example of what soccer is about!

This competition always gets better the further in it gets. More goals always.

I think there's a bit of confusion between a free kick and a penalty.

Typically, although not always, a penalty is given where a foul against the attacking team is within the 18-yard area that a goalkeeper is permitted to handle the ball in (aka 'the box'). It's taken from the penalty spot 12 yards from the goal line and it's a 1 on 1 between the goalkeeper and the penalty taker.

Penalty:

A free kick can be given anywhere on the pitch, including in certain cases within the 18 yard goal area. A free kick may be direct or indirect, depending on the infraction. Direct means that a goal may be scored directly from the kick, indirect means it must touch someone else before it crosses the line for a goal to be scored.

A direct free kick:

Same kick, different angle... (happy happy moment :) )
