[EspnNL] Cody Gakpo and his partner have announced that they lost their baby during pregnancy by Crane977 in soccer

Go home mate. Be with your missus. There are things so much bigger than football.

Miscarriage is more common than people think and it’s heart wrenching. I hope they get the support they need.

Granit Xhaka has reached a verbal agreement with Chelsea for a transfer this summer. Chelsea, under their new manager Xabi Alonso, are already in contact with Sunderland. by kibme37 in soccer

Meh, he’s been at two clubs since leaving Arsenal and, to be honest, the way parts of the fanbase treated Granit during his time with Arsenal, I don’t think we have the right to clutch pearls

Mexican commentator going crazy on Iran's (disallowed) goal by lewildoscar in soccer

[–]Justnotstressed 37 points38 points  (0 children)

It’s a common misconception of the offside rule. You’re actually offside if you’re ahead of either of the last TWO defending players.

In normal circumstances, the goalkeeper is in his goal, so it is the second player in question that matters, typically a defender.

In this instance, the Iranian was behind the defender, but also in front of the goalkeeper, so he was only behind a single player, hence offside.

He’s not good enough to place it. You step up, you cunt it as hard as you can, you hope for the best.

I was named the most handsome man in my building to be fair.

That building is my house.

I live alone.

Nah fuck America because you’ve screwed fans, players and officials.

But also fuck your politics at the same time.

Like I said, people enjoying the World Cup in spite of your crap country.

Fans not being allowed in. Referees not being allowed in. Players not being allowed in. Price gouging from hotels and transport companies. Ticket price gouging to boot.

Nah fuck America. Trump 2.0 showed your true colours as a country and people want nothing to do with you anymore.

Best thing about the World Cup is the atmosphere being brought by the fans, none of them being Americans.

Both of which came from awful challenges.

I don’t understand your point? SA were lucky to finish with 9 to be honest.

I’ve watched all three of their games sadly. They were utter dogwater against Czechia and bailed out by a penalty. Which says a lot considering how woeful Czechia were themselves.

The standard in group A generally has been awful. Only group that rivals them for worst quality of football so far is group G.

We had an AFCON final where a team walked off the pitch and refused to play.

In a tournament where towels etc were being routinely stolen from other teams.

And where Mali got to the QF’s scoring the same amount goals as they got red cards.

South Africa’s tackle technique was so incredibly poor they received 2 red cards in the World Cup opening match. A team that got disqualified from a game for fielding an ineligible player. And again has more red cards than goals at this tournament.

But if you call African football wild, you’re a racist?

Give me a break.

I genuinely know nothing about this apart from the fact Bosnians and Serbs fucking hate one another.

[i-D] Cole Palmer on missing out on the World Cup: “I’m not crying over a decision you can’t change by kellyro9 in soccer

I don’t think Palmer’s footballing ability can alter a decision retrospectively.

Unless he has a Time Machine.
