[Football] WC: Egypt v Uruguay

[Guinness Boy]

I did manage to complete a sales playback document and send two emails during the dull bits so not a total write off.

It's been terrible but I can see Uruguay stepping up a notch in the second half. I'm not worried yet - 70 minutes yes, but not at the moment.

What a load of old crap, no wonder the ground is half empty

How many chances does Luis the Tooth need today?

 

[Beanstalk]

This is perhaps the poorest I've ever seen Suarez. What is happening?

 

[seagulls4ever]

Yes, but only for gamechanging incidents. This was a dive outside the box - had it been inside and the ref awarded a pen, you'd think (hope) that the VAR would step in and overrule it.

It should have been a booking though regardless.

I bet you're thrilled at the news that linesmen have been instructed to keep their flag down if offsides are tight so that VAR can decide. Whilst I have declared my support for VAR, I can't support that as it could lead to situations like a goalkeeper saving an offside shot, it goes out for a corner, and the team scores a valid goal from the resulting corner.

a brace?

Isn't it bloody typical. The ONE TIME you want that buck-toothed cheating racist chompmeister to do the business, he completely spacks out for the afternoon.

Doesn’t look like Suarez has any appetite for this game.

It has the potential to lead to all kinds of carnage.

I can also see linesmen keeping their flags down when its NOT a marginal offside call, "just to be sure". They'll start leaning on the technology even more.

That said, early days but there's been no VARS howlers yet.

I'm enjoying watching Egypt frustrate Uruguay. Hopefully they can sneak a winner.

For some reason Cavani irritates the hell out of me. Glad he didn't score there.

 

[smillie's garden]

Bollox - heartbreaking

Thank **** for that. I was that close to ripping up the virtual slip.
