[Football] World Cup - Day Eleven

[Weststander]

Haha

Jokes aside that’s got to be the first penalty in football history given for someone getting poked in the eye.

Kane played well last night. Lovely cross for goal no.2.

 

[oldboyroy]

Ali Mac should of taken it though

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

The ref didn’t have to agree with VAR. I bet outside of Argentina you would struggle to find two people that believed that was a penalty let alone two out of two officials.

You could say the same thing every week in the PL

The idea some sort of order to help Argentina win is in place is fantasy.

Thanks - are they normal TV commentators? They sound a bit like those two lads who commentate on the snow-boarding. All a bit hyper and super keen!

A R5 double act on Sunday evenings.

Rio reckons that the four of them in the studio agree that it wasn't a penalty because "We played the game."

Very arrogant and ignorant - you'd be hard pushed to find ANYONE who agrees that that is a penalty.

No they work on BBC radio 5, you must be watching World Cup extra which gives you the radio commentary on top of the tv feed. It’s a much better commentary usually.

Bit harsh. I think what they said was along the lines of 'hard pushed to find anyone agreeing that was a penalty' ' us four didn't', 'and we played the game'.

The inference I got was that they were saying that the ref didn't know what he was doing because he hadn't played the game.

I'm watching with Spanish commentary and they were saying that the same thing happened in a game with Celta vs Mallorca and it was, by the letter of the law, a penalty. Ergo this was also, according to the letter of the law, a penalty.

Now my Spanish is miles better than my understanding of the rules of football so, can someone enlighten me... what law says that a goalkeeper attempting to intervene with an aerial ball, coming second best to an attacker constitutes a foul? What am I missing?

Then it should be a penalty every time a defender challenges for a header in the area and doesn't get it.

At the centre of Argentina’s midfield is a Brighton player pulling the strings.

In 4 years time there’ll be another one

Oh right - so I am. Channel 601 RB1. Didn't even know there was such a thing, no idea how I landed on that!!

Part of the game is surely respecting and attending routine drugs tests isn’t it?!

 

[The Wizard]

It’s just a shit call. It’s not fixed.

You’re telling me 5 VAR officials thought that was a penalty and the referee rewatched it and also decided it was?

If that’s for Poland there is zero chance that gets given.

Unless you’ve got traces of cocaine from partying.

ALEXISSSSSS

Flipping MacAllister

 

[Bold Seagull]

Yes!!!! Mac A!!!! What a goal

 

[Stephen Seagull]

Then it should be a penalty every time a defender challenges for a header in the area and doesn't get it.

Hence my confusion, I have no idea what "law" they're talking about...

 

[dazzer6666]

……’of BRIGHTON’

 

[KZNSeagull]

Ali MAC SCORES!!!!!!!!

Told you they should pass to him

You are telling me that 4/5 officials thought the Newcastle player fouls the Crystal Palace defender which lead to a potential winner being ruled out a few weeks ago.
