Not a scintillating match so far, but this 1-nil Spanish lead will open things up in the 2H.

Spain deserves to go to halftime with the lead.

I thought it was a great half. First Torres off the post then the hustle goal.

Expect Spain to get 1 more on the counter, where they are clearly better.

Man I hate soccer refs. When is a foul a foul inside the box? This shit pisses me off. Stop swallowing the whistle when players get mugged, I don't care where the infraction takes place.

With the diving in soccer you have to swallow the whistle in the box...and they should start calling less fouls all over the field. You can't give free goals for little fouls in the box. That is not what the PK is for at all.

In the final of a major championship, no ref will blow the whistle in the box unless the foul results in the death of the offensive player.

When you climb a guys back who has position for the ball impeding him from playing it then there should be no call? Flopping, from what I've seen, has decreased and if they are flopping, card 'em like they sais they would. Players this whole tournament have been getting mugged with no calls.

They did it early in the knockout stages as well. I see what you're saying but that view always lack logic to me. Are there World Series called strikes? NBA Finals blocking fouls? Super Bowl false starts? A foul is a foul. Have the nuts to call it regardless of the scenario.
