If you guys want to really appreciate soccer, watch Pirlo from Italy. A magician.

I feel bad for Honduras.

Honduras is one of the weaker sides. It was bound to happen. That group is bad that if the French and Swiss don't advance they're in trouble. They have the weakest CONCACAF and CONMEBOL teams in the tourney. Not that either of them are terrible, but I'd kill fo r the US to be where the French are.

The last goal scored, the Swiss player was in the boxed off area in front of the net.

In soccer there are 2 boxed areas. Commonly (or at least when I played) as the 6 and 18 yard box. They really don't have a massive difference except for dead ball kicks. No indirect kicks can occur inside there and freekicks and goalkicks come off it. I think in some youth league you're not supposed to be inside the 6 for safety reasons but it doesn't matter at the senior level. A goal has free reign inside the 18 as long as he gets to the ball.

Messi is way more magical than Pirlo. One could argue that Pirlo isn't even the best at what he does. Some others worth mentioning as deeplying you have Xabi Alonso, as playmakers who play maybe a little more further you have Xavi, Iniesta, Modric, Schweinsteiger, Ozil, Fabregas, Sneijder and some more I'm sure I'm missing you could argue.

There is only one Leo Messi though.
 
Why would anyone feel bad for Honduras? They are just a team that tries to bully the other team.

Messes is a magician, obviously. But the way Pirlo can dictate a game from a deep midfield spot and spray passes is amazing to watch. Plus, obv, his free kicks like he screwed Hart on.
 
I am @$&#%# jacked for this game. Can't wait. Tough draw, but I don't know if there is a team I'd want to beat more than Ghana.
