[quote name="dalton26" post="72594" timestamp="1404166768"]I'm still trying to figure this all out. What is stoppage time and why is this game still going? I'm so confused. Lol Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app[/quote] Stoppage time is time added on at half and at the end of the 90 minutes to compensate for injury time and dead ball time since it is a running clock. If at the end of the 90 minutes, plus stoppage time, the match is tied, and since this is the knockout round, two 15 minute extra time periods will be played. Both halves are played, even if a goal is scored. If the game is still tied after extra time, they go to penalty kicks. Sent from my place of advanced, analytical thinking: the toilet.

Offensive players cannot be beyond the back line created by the farthest back defender before receiving a pass. Sent from my place of advanced, analytical thinking: the toilet.

Thanks. This is one of the few times I've watched soccer so I was extremely lost. Thanks again.

It should be golden goal in OT. Not two add'l smaller halves. Boo to that rule.

Has there been any team that has been consistently dominant this year in the tournament? Maybe Belgium, though they benefitted from an easier draw than most. Brazil, Netherlands, France, and Germany have all been up and down in their performances so far.

Belgium easily won their group as far as points go, but were tied with Russia in the 88th minute and had problems putting down South Korea. I'm really not overly worried about tomorrow. I'd say the only dominant team has been Colombia.

Forgot about those two matches. And that was the exact reason I held back on the Netherlands who won their group, but their game against Australia sucked. Haven't watched as much of Colombia, only seen half of their games to make a comment, so I'll take your word.

I'm new to watching soccer, but from what I've observed in this WC, I'll agree that Colombia looks really good.

Yeah they're kind of out of nowhere, especially with Falcao still being hurt, but they're really good and REALLY fun to watch.

I'm playing catch up right now. We lost power last night and it finally came on a few hours ago.

[Hovadipo 55,242]

This would be such a bad day for Eden Hazard to play like BPL Eden Hazard. Or for Belgium to even begin to touch the potential they have.
