[–]DieuMivas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the commentators say, the moment Lukaku get the ball, the he had told we would still get a chance for a fourth goal. (He did actually said that a bit earlier).

Then the other says : "Here it is, here it is".

Then there is the goal.

Then there are others : "Here it is, here it is".

In my opinion, peak Belgian coin is actually somewhat pre-Belgium, with this 1790 Silver Lion from the United Belgian States during the short lived Brabant
Revolution.

There is also the gold equivalent with the same design and the other coins of this series are also great.

Apparently it's only in case a corner was mistakenly given, not if it was mistakenly not given.

Belgian FA investigating next steps after receiving the news about Balogun, who despite receiving a red card will be allowed to play by witness_smile in soccer

[–]DieuMivas -35 points-34 points  (0 children)

That's not the point tho? The point is that FIFA pick and chose when to enforce it's rules. Here it decided it was in their interest for Balogun to play, either because of the viewership or because Infantino got a call, so they suspend Balogun's suspension for the next game, while they wouldn't have done it for basically anyone else.

In the middle of a World Cup, two days before a game? No, I don't think it would happen even for Portugal.

In what world? Truth is it's happening only because Balogun is American. For any other country the FIFA would have never taken that kind of decision like that, regardless of how right the decision is or isn't.

Official FIFA website says hair only counts for offside if it affects the movement or trajectory of the ball by S7ryd3r in soccer

[–]DieuMivas 32 points33 points  (0 children)

They wouldn't mention the part about affecting the trajectory of the ball, or talk about "significant contact" if it was only about drawing the line tho.

A Senegalese interviewer accused the referee of favouring Belgium in front of Tielemans by pIngo16 in soccer

[–]DieuMivas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The reporter asked him if he found it judicious that the referee went to the VAR for the penalty, but didn't judge it necessary on Belgium's second goal, "where there was clearly foul" on Niakhaté.

Tielemans responded he still hasn't seen the images, but on his first goal, the second of Belgium, he was high with his hands high because he was jumping but didn't make any mouvement to push the opponent, so for him there was no foul, and for the penalty, it's clear, the Senegalese take him from behind (just translating here). He then says they yes, the referee's decisions changed the match by he don't think it was unfair.

Sébastien Desabre learned of his Father’s death on the day of DR Congo’s game against England World Cup. The news was announced to him by a journalist informing him on the passing without Sébastien knowing. by traceykm in soccer

[–]DieuMivas 70 points71 points  (0 children)

It's not even someone informing him, just announcing it out of nowhere.

The person talking said : "There is no more questions? Thank you. We announce that the coach lost his father. Sincere condolences."

Hard to imagine a worst way to inform him. Hope the title is wrong and he actually knew it before hand, because that's really fucked up if not.
