Brazil through by the skin of their teeth

[Tilla]

Uruguay played them well, but messed up faltered in the penalty kicks.

BTW, was Robinho on the field for the two halves? I saw his penalty kick, but cannot remember him on the field of play.

I was actually rooting for Brasil to win so that Argentina can dismantle them in the finals. But of course it will all mean nothingas the apologists will come wit one long back a excuses that KAKA and RONALDINHO were not there and blah blah blah blah

P.S. The linesman has to signal that the penalty be retaken the goalkeeper was at least 3 yards of his line before the ball was kicked.

Was the brazillian keeper legally entitled to move off his line before the penalty kick?

No, the referees erred. The rules state that the GK has to remain on the goal line until the shot is taken. He can move on the line however (side to side). That PK should have been retaken.

That happens when the mandate is to control the path of the ball leading to him (Robinho). The previous two teams did not do that very well.

Uruguay was well prepared for the game.

The Argentina v. MexTico matchup is going to be a good game.
I never cheer for MexTico--but I would like CONCACAF to win the Copa America title.
