AMSTERDAM — Netherlands winger Arjen Robben limped off the field with a left hamstring injury Saturday in the team's 6-1 rout of Hungary in a friendly, casting his World Cup participation into doubt and delaying his departure for South Africa.
Ivory Coast boss Sven-Goran Eriksson has said star man Didier Drogba is in with a shout of playing in his nation's World Cup opener against Portugal on Tuesday.
Didn't read anything about that threat, that's kinda wild.
South Africa 1 - 3 MexicoUruguay 1 - 1 France
Anybody here knows anything about the rules of football? About that Mexican disallowed goal, wasn't there a South African player on the GK's line? That means the Mexican player was behind the defense, aka, not offside. If the guy on the GK line is judged "not in play" then what happens if he blocks a shot? Can't have it both ways can you?As for the game itself... I hope to see better finishing from now onwards please.
A player is in an offside position if he is in his opponents' half of the field and is nearer to his opponents' goal line than both the ball and the next to last opponent.
