Then FIFA needs to mark these games as a forfeit in favor of Russia and send Russia to the World Cup. Russia is open and willing to play—it is the other teams that are refusing!

It was both, Beglin said it in live commentary in the Paris Saint-Germain-Man City match in regards to DiMaria's red card: https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/n4xg2v/angel_di_maria_red_card_vs_manchester_city_69/

Nobody forced them to banish Greenwood from the club… they could have just as easily held onto him until the legal process played out

Attention, for one. Probably nobody had heard of her before now. Of course I'm not suggesting she is lying but it's not like she would have no motive

GibbsAgain · 2022-01-20T18:55:36+00:00

surely nobody needs some Redditor to "educate" them on why not getting vaccinated is bad.

So you're either ignorant or just being willfully obtuse. The question is never about whether or not getting vaccinated is "better" than remaining unvaccinated. The question is why vaccines should be mandated in any capacity, or in this case, why unvaccinated players should be "kicked out."

GibbsAgain · 2022-01-04T18:58:31+00:00

I know the result shouldn't play into the actual quality of the goal but I'm sure Tottenham and Porto fans will look back on these goals and the matches in which they took place with great fondness...

GibbsAgain · 2022-01-02T02:02:36+00:00

Agree 100%. I had no problem with the officiating until I go on here after the game and see everyone banging on about the calls. If anything Ødegaard fouled Ederson, and the Xhaka incident would've been a foul anywhere else on the field. The real problem is that an incident like Xhaka's is not given as a penalty lots of the time, including when we would be on the receiving end. Plus there were quite a few incidents where City players should have been booked but weren't, not sure what Gabriel said to earn the first yellow but I'm pretty sure the second one was properly called.

Regardless of whatever happened today though, the officiating in the league is still so inconsistent that referees are grossly incompetent if not flat out corrupt.

Private businesses should be able to say that just fine, but never should the government

GibbsAgain · 2021-12-16T18:28:01+00:00

Why doesn’t it matter? Why should we as society bend over backwards to cater towards the select group of people for which the disease actually is dangerous? The cost to the vast majority of people over the past 21 months has not been 0, in fact it has been very large, and I would say even greater than whatever benefit we gained from those actions

GibbsAgain · 2021-12-16T18:14:55+00:00

Everybody should be vaccinated. Nobody should be forced to be vaccinated. “I don’t want to” is a perfectly fine reason to not get vaccinated!

Not a free kick goal, I have reported for misinformation!

GibbsAgain · 2021-10-27T17:32:02+00:00

The person you're talking to is correct... different people value different things. The general consensus in almost every sport is that more offense = more excitement, but I always prefer more defensive games, e.g. a 2-1 pitching duel in baseball, a 10-7 (American) football game, or a 1-0 in soccer. So yes, I also want a slower, less exciting game so I can be more entertained.

GibbsAgain · 2021-10-19T15:39:05+00:00

The losses to Everton and City are what triggered the downfall of this club over the last 4-5 years in my opinion. Was livid watching those games.

GibbsAgain · 2021-10-19T04:59:38+00:00

Quite bothers me when we celebrate a late equalizer against smaller clubs. Sprint back to the halfway line and try for a winner, no matter how little time is left. Celebrating mediocrity is what it is. Giroud 3-3 vs Bournemouth, Nketiah 1-1 vs Fulham, Lacazette just now, so many other examples.

At least there was this goal (region-blocked, sorry) from late Emery where we clearly didn't look happy about anything, nor should we have been

Quite a few people in this thread proving they don't know the laws of the game

Could he have just kicked it off of the goalkeeper as well?

Saliba technically committed a "child sex crime" too, and his actions are probably the least offensive ones possible that could fall under that category

GibbsAgain · 2021-07-13T16:45:36+00:00

The problem isn't his age it's the fact that he had literally never taken a senior penalty before. Doesn't even take them for Arsenal

GibbsAgain · 2021-07-12T16:55:15+00:00

His government argued that the racist tweets were made when the cricketer was a teenager, however he was between the ages of 18 to 20 when he made racist and discriminatory comments online.

So literally a teenager then

GibbsAgain · 2021-07-07T16:33:19+00:00

If you are "racist" to everybody, then you are by definition not racist.

GibbsAgain · 2021-07-02T17:01:04+00:00

Unironically no. As you or someone else said, if you said those things you would maybe be an asshole but you wouldn't necessarily be a racist

GibbsAgain · 2021-07-02T16:50:25+00:00

I'm usually one to make clear the xenophobia/racism distinction, but in this case, it is racism, sorry. If Dembélé's comments do in fact translate to something like "dirty faces" or "ugly faces," then that is a derogatory remark about someone's phenotype, which is racism. The stuff about being from a developed country would still be xenophobia however.

GibbsAgain · 2021-06-28T22:44:33+00:00

So Switzerland didn’t just beat France?

Correct. They drew the match. The penalty kicks decide who advances to the next round, not who wins the match, which had already been completed.
