funny, ESPNfc accidentally displayed two yellows for Duarte earlier. I refreshed and they corrected it. As it turns out, that was what happened.
There go my $20 A well deserved goals, Greeks are playing much better than I expected, although the goal they let in was ridiculous

Penalty in the first half not called. Mexico with better chances during the 1st half. Dutch kept pressing; those corner kicks you knew were going to eventually cost Mexico as many of the previous ones had them dodging bullets. Mexico sat back, played 'prevent' and it cost them. While the penalty was ticky-tack at the end the point remains: the Dutch after having tied it up didn't resign themselves (or were content) to let it go into an extra session but instead continued playing to win, were pressing and if nothing else had possession at the doorstep of the Mexican goal at the time of the call..…i.e. they made their own break (again, as iffy as that call was). I'm not a fan of (ESPN darling) 'El Tri' partly because I wasn't looking forward to the prospect of having ESPN's WC coverage dominated this upcoming week by 'warm & fuzzy' features of El Tri (if today's one-sided slooo-mo camera shots of the Mexican fans were any indication). The 'fan' coverage was 90/10. And, especially if the US were knocked out by Belgium….having to listen to this "oooohhh El Tri!" crap? …. after they got into the WC on the backs of the US bailing them out? ….. ok, I'll stop my pillow-biting rant….

Crazy day of soccer. Greece needs to end this before PKs because that Costa Rica GK seems to be really really on
This game has PKs written all over it, though Greece at least looked a little threatening in the first 15 minutes (granted, they're a man up, so they SHOULD look threatening).
Looked like how I take advantage of a man advantage in Fifa. One just held onto the ball too long then a shot straight at the GK
If Costa Rica wins today, that team owes Navas dinner. Greece should have easily had this in the bag already.
