Yes I know, but Chile will go further because Colombia always crumble in the WC almost as bad as Greece.

I actually tipped them to win the WC as a bit of a long shot. This WC is going to a South American Team.

Look, I actually rate Chile and believe the have better prospects and i am not the only one. Columbia has never been a very big deal but Chile has got the fire-power.

You know very well that FIFA rankings are rubbish! Plus there are only 6 points that separate Chile from Columbia.

Greece did something very special in that game which i have not seen from any team so far.

When Samaras tripped over in the penalty box, everyone was appealing for a penalty but he turned around and faced the ref and started to wave his hand as if to say that this is not a penalty so the ref did not award one.

Honestly, with all the theatrics (cheating) that is going on in the WC, that was the most sporting noble actions I have seen so far.

That was fantastic to see. So well done Samaras for not being such a princess (cheat) and being honest. Well done Greece.

I guarantee you that if it was another team, this would not happen. Who can forget the hand of God Maradona?

i thought samaras was implying the ref's decision was wrong not to award the penalty.
it was clearly a dive though.

This is how Italy beat Australia.
For all you Ozzies out there. Understand one thing. Cheating is part of the game.
Don't pretend there's anything noble or righteous about this 'sport'.
stop criticizing it, I'm guilty of that too.

Learn theatrics, practice diving, take chances.
That's the only way you're gonna get ahead.

See that?
Costa Rica's 2nd goal originated from a dive.
In soccer, this is called 'tactics'
