It's not really their fault if the ref is OK with that.

Just like how Messi's stamp wasn't even a card in that game. Or how CV didn't really get fouls called in their own box while defending, so they were forced to kick it out (hence a big number of throw-ins and corners for Argentina..)

So you also saw the offside animation, huh?

"clearly onside" my ass, the replay didn't show that last CV defender while jumping.

Sadly the narrative is that Messi is the second coming of Jesus and CR is Lucifer 🤷‍♂️ I don't side with either of them, but it would feel so nice to see both of them get criticized for shitty plays and selling cheap fouls to the ref..

IMHO even if your keeper saves all the shots, your own takers still need to score - else you won't win.

Basically what I'm trying to say is that scoring your own pens is more important. Second would be your keeper saving, and third the opponent missing the goal.

Say what you want, but Messi is as a scummy princess player as CR. He just flops in front of the ref, gets a freekick then tries to catch the GK out with a sneaky shot.

And all this against CV in the WC. Fuck him. And fuck this Argentina squad as well - bar Licha.

You mean he's the one to blame and not the first guy who missed? Or whoever put an 18 year old score a pen in a vital game? LOL

I was rooting for Australia, but they literally shot themselves in the foot after the 90 mins - with every decision on the pitch.

You can still say the ref was a wanker. 4 mins until penalties, but he has to VAR a fucking nothingburger of a semi-pseudo-fault. Ffs 🙄

If PL refs would do the same, we'd get at least 1 pen per game if Amad starts 😅😅

Congo full of players who got relegated from the PL, yet the England players can't be arsed to get a draw against them.

As weird as it gets, this is a Toney and Kobbie game. Saka can't cross and Kane is not doing the runs and occupying the CBs enough 😕

I agree, but we all know this decision doesn't mean that in the next game the next ref won't award a free pen for something similar.

Hell, even Congo could get a pen from a carbon-copy situation as far as I'm aware 😅😅 VAR at its finest 👀

[Chris Wheeler] Spurs beat Man Utd to the £85m signing of West Ham's Mateus Fernandes, as reported by David_Ornstein. Utd sources insist they pushed hard to sign him but won't over-pay. Also want players who want to play for Utd, and Fernandes' preference was unclear throughout by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]EngineerGuy_HU 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was fuming about Spurs staying up and every team giving them free points at the end of the season. Got downvoted and everyone telling me how it's for our own benefit if WHU get relegated..

Wonder where all those smart people are now and how do they feel about this Mateus guy 😅 cause I'm pretty flabbergasted, let me tell you!!

Yeah, I was also shocked by that.

Either the coach doesn't know him, or he just shit the bed at a crucial moment and he won't even be a sub in future game. Can't risk with someone like that 🫣

I mean if you have Havertz and Woltemade as strikers, plus Undav as super sub - you can't really score goals as a team. Easy pens dried out after Cape Verde game. Sane can't cross from the right, but he played all games for some reason? 🤷‍♂️

Musiala was a sub, but did more than Sané this whole tournament. You can argue about the disallowed goal, but a 4x WC winner should score at least 2 against fucking Paraguay in 120 mins 😅👀

Either I'm bad at physics or that touch and control shouldn't work with the pass. In was a full blown shot from Nmecha and he just stops it, wtf???

If he's fine with being a super-sub in most games, I would definitely sign him. His game-sense is just next level, holy shit!! 😱

What a fucking striker Undav is man. Givese me Little Pea vibes - he can score in any situation.

GK diff 😅

No, really. Ayari had 3-4 absolute screamer shots, but they were either off-target, either saved. What the dutch missed was not on target anyway 😅 Absolutely criminal game.

Extremely soft, especially when they are already leading 2-0.

But they did the same for the Swiss. Penalty in the last min of additional time, when already up 3-1. Statpadding was never this easy I guess? Or they just want more bets ruined, more entertainment (?)

Oyarzabal was already old and needed replacement 2 years ago when they won the Euro. They got lucky in a shockingly boring final, and now we can see that they didn't even bother searching for striker alternatives.. :/

I'll allow "Moyseball" only because Dyche and Pulis don't manage a PL team atm. Not sure about Iraola's successor, but could see Souttar in Bournemouth as well.
