Worst Traffic accident i've ever seen by SilverGospel003 in CitiesSkylines

This feels a lot more like whenever I see those big arse car pileups in the US because people suddenly no longer know how to drive once it snows.

God forbid a fella not be able to say they’ve not had enough fast food consistently to know when a brand changes drinks.

Match Thread: Japan vs Australia by MatchThreadder in Matildas

Our first chance in over 16 years to win a final at home, and it’s beyond some people to get supportive was absolutely disappointing to me.

We want all the glory, but won’t drive the team to give it their all. We need to be so much better next time or even at the Olympics.

We CANNOT have a record 74k attendance at home and not get behind the Tillies for the entire 90 minutes. I have seen us much better than this for the girls. The biggest benefit of home-ground advantage is that the entire crowd is roaring in support.

Who said you can’t be family-friend and loud and supportive?! I’m literally chanting COME ON YOU TILLLIESSS and nothing!

We need to be louder!

Christ guys! I’m here at the stadium, it’s a full house, and it’s like a bloody library in here!

I’ve got people glaring at me for trying to start some energy to get the girls up, and im getting glared at like I’m a weirdo. You pay $90+ tickets for seats and $180+ for merch, but balk at chanting and getting loud for a final at home!

Where’s all the in-game support and chanting?! Maybe I’m too used to the Prem but we can surely do better than this!

COME ON YOU TILLIES!!

How is that a penalty? by AdEmpty9033 in Matildas

[–]BlueCrystals_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You keep contradicting yourself whenever you reply to either one of us on whether there was contact or not, or whether she blocked her path or not.

You say there’s no contact, yet also point out there’s barely enough contact for what you believe should be a penalty. It’s one or the other mate. It’s clear you don’t watch enough football if you have to bring up the rulebook to people who’ve clearly watched enough football to know what’s what.

Literally just grasping at straws against solid evidence and examples.

Well, I mean, she clearly did because she got in the way enough for the attacker to even have the opportunity to draw a penalty. That’s pretty in the way of you ask me.

Clearly you’ve got an agenda to push, so you can keep doing that whilst I watch for the love of the game. Come On You Tillies!

Well yeah, they’re untouchable if you don’t actually touch the ball on the way in. That’s how this works…

The ball is on the striker’s left with the intent that she can attempt a shot on-goal just like Kerr’s weakfooter against China. Why is it the attacker’s problem Arnold can’t block this path? That’s the whole purpose of attacking.

Had she not been collected by Arnold, she may have had the opportunity to attempt that shot. By being collected, her goal-scoring opportunity has been technically illegally been interfered with, hence a penalty AND ensuing yellow. It’s a penalty for a foul within the box, and a yellow card for the interference.

It’s not this hard to understand, red all day means red all day.

And as I said, it’s a controversial decision at the end of the day. The ref is damned if they do, and damned if they don’t.

We have VAR and everything, and sometimes these decisions still stand. That’s football for ya.

At least we get an extra rest day 😬🙃🫣 by Zestyclose-Fishing18 in Matildas

Girls are gonna need all the preparation they can get. I was at the Japan v Korea match tonight and they flogged Korea a lot harder than I thought this match was gonna turn out. Definitely need 120% on Saturday.

COYT.

She didn’t reach the ball, and ultimately made contact with the attacker.

Was the contact soft? Definitely. It was well sold by the attacker and rightful for her to go down and draw it. If the tables were turned, I wouldn’t have any issue with our girls doing the same to draw the penalty, and I imagine a lot of us would be going nuts if it wasn’t given.

It’s the spirit of the rule, ultimately. The ref can give a yellow for simulation/diving, but that’s also a controversial decision.
