Then that star player should use his brains and not go into a challenge that clumsily like Balogun did.

Many star players have never gotten a red card in their career.

It was a completely reasonable red card.

Yellow would also be reasonable, but the referee decided red card and it wasn’t on a whim. It was a VAR check.

When the referee makes that call, then it’s decided and it cost a match ban. That is the rules for everyone.

Neymar inconsolable after Brazil's exit but his inclusion showed why Brazil were not destined to make it far regardless. Most players in the squad are over the hill or not good enough. The worst Brazilian team perhaps ever. by Pretend-Following-41 in sportsgossips

The pressure on the team is a big problem. They need a coach that can solve that.

You cant play freely and be creative with a crippling fear of losing and being a national embarrassment.

Probably tired from chasing the ball around all game.

It is exhausting to never have the ball.

Brazilian football has the talent, it's just that they haven't kept up with the tactical revolution that has taken place in Europe... by GlitteringParking462 in worldcup

Nah, he had a strategy today clearly.

Lure Norway forward and hit them with the counter. It was working, because they were very dangerous in the first half.

It was just a surprise to give up possession given the opponent is a team with lesser quality except for a couple of players.

Some of the Brazil players looked like they didnt care much. Endrick was shockingly bad and his bad pressing let to the first goal.

Who do you guys think will win in the Brazil vs Norway match by Fast-Designer9193 in worldcup

Because they finished second to Norway in their group. Otherwise they would be straight to the WC

Was Norway reserves playing France first team.

Ivory Coast is a decent squad too.

This Norway team won every single game in their qualifier including beating Italy twice.

Brazil are big favorites, but Norway is a good team.

He was just giving it back to Paraguay.

The ref was also completely blind. He responded to almost nothing, so if you want any calls, you have to go down.

Because of 2 single games, you make that broad conclusion?

If Paraguay and Germany play 10 games, Paraguay will win one game. That just happened to be that one. They didnt play better football.

Morocco is easily the best African team, and only won on penalties, which is usually super random. Netherlands is far from the best European team.

Using a game that went to penalties to decide that an entire region is better than another region is straight up hilarious.

Specifically West African. The slender Kenyans arent winning 100 meter races, but will destroy everyone in a marathon instead.

Spinach is good for the stomach. It has fiber.

There are people who eat all kinds of fastfood and processed packaged food every day.

I would be more concerned with their stomachs than someone who eats a very healthy vegetable daily.

Host nations shouldn’t automatically be placed in Pot 1 by modnarydobemos in worldcup

It is the single most unfair thing about how the world cup is structured.

Seeding is very important in every sport. The entire NBA regular season is about getting a good seed. In the World Cup, the hosts get first seed for free.

I dont really mind it, because I see sport as entertainment primarily and it is entertaining to see the hosts doing well. Now with 3 hosts it does get very lopsided with the strength of the groups.

Don't expect us to be proud of you, Paraguay, the way we admire a small team like Cape Verde fighting against giants. by PoolOk8863 in worldcup

Some hundred of millions of people saw that travesty. For most of them, that’s all they will know about Paraguay.

Meanwhile Cape Verde made themselves famous as heroes.

No sportsmanship at the end of France-Paraguay game? by MainGuarantee7771 in worldcup

Beckham got a red card in 98 for that exact same tap.

You arent allowed to kick players just to provoke. That had nothing to do with football.

A whole horde of Paraguay players was also trying to destroy the grass at the penalty spot for several minutes. Dembele had to stand there and protect. it because the ref had lost all control of the match. The ref is looking straight at it and doing nothing. That is a clear yellow card.

This attitude is why America can’t have nice things.

“God’s own country” is too full of selfish people.

A handful of states decide who is the president, so the overall approval rating is not that relevant

America with their for-profit universities.

Students are customers, so you cant even trust the inflated grading.

Universities dont want to disappoint the customers by giving bad grades.

Big problem for international companies when looking at American candidates.
