[Football] World Cup - Day Twenty - The Quarters Begin

[The Fits]

Mac is Messi's legs. Very interesting to see the way they move together. Mac is the one that allows Messi to drop deep and find space. He's such a calm and intelligent player but they've done a job on he and Messi by making sure the ball is kicked over them.

he elephant in the room is cards being wiped out after this round. So the players start acting up

But 2 yellows in the quarterfinals still means a ban for the semi-finals

The golden ball is still around, just not really as talked about as the golden boot

Edited my post to say goal, instead of ball!

 

[NorthLainer]

Brighton player in WC Semi's surely?

Or maybe not...

 

[Shooting Star]

Dutch need to bring De Ligt on for Timbers as he’s gonna get himself sent off soon.

Argentinian coach handing out the uppers to Messi there!

I do apologise. I don't feel there's a goal in this though

What great experience for an already great player.

Just goes to show that a free kick routine thought up over a spliff and a Heineken at 4:30AM in Dam Square isn't always a bad idea.

 

[Badger]

They should bring back the golden goal.

Nah. Neymar's goal would have taken Brazil through if that was the case.

I’m quite excited to see our WC players back on English soil playing for BHA - surely this experience will be a confidence boost for them and up their Club performance even further?

Back to this, has anyone kept track of how many are on a booking here and who misses Semis?

WTF is this referee doing

Ali Mac to take a penalty? If so, what number?

 

[Washie]

Scissor challenge, definite yellow card

Starting to take effect...

 

[Zeberdi]

He's been getting a lot of stick. But he's been fine.

I think it’s been a hard match to ref and he’s battled through but he has definitely made some very questionable calls.

I’ll be honest, this feels like some sort of destiny for the Dutch, they could have lost this so many times and haven’t
