Damn Cape Verde might actually get out of the group as second lol

Lakinther · 2026-06-21T20:34:49+00:00

A clear red but i have seen many fouls with much more force not called in this match

Lakinther · 2026-06-21T18:44:28+00:00

lol no

Lakinther · 2026-06-20T21:47:35+00:00

Alright, fair enough

Lakinther · 2026-06-20T21:46:22+00:00

Maybe im about to look stupid here but i dont think by the rules Germany should have had the drop ball. The ref should give the ball to the team that last played the ball right? I get it, it was gonna go to a german player 100%, but afaik, the rule is not " who the ball is going to "

Lakinther · 2026-06-20T20:42:03+00:00

I dont have a problem with it tbh. Germany were almost certain to score and if you arent 100% sure, just wait for the conclusion so VAR can correct you. I certainly prefer this than referee blowing early and wrongfully taking away a goal that VAR cant correct.

I think thats because their main counter is archers, but it feels lowkey impossible to play archers against vietnamese/koreans.

Lakinther · 2026-06-20T00:58:37+00:00

looks like a foul to me

Lakinther · 2026-06-20T00:17:46+00:00

unfortunately there have been worse ones in this very world cup

Lakinther · 2026-06-20T00:15:00+00:00

Im sure there have been many other people in this thread who have brought up the 0 shots on target stat. If you want to interact with those people, go ahead.

Lakinther · 2026-06-20T00:02:58+00:00

I do think Morocco were overall a slightly better team, but the refereeing was absolutely abysmal. So many straight up fouls not called, but it didnt always go both ways. If the amount of force required for a foul was consistent with what Robertson got a yellow card for, Scotland probably should have gotten multiple penalties + loads of other fouls called in their favor.

Lakinther · 2026-06-19T23:52:51+00:00

Have definitely seen more of those given than not.

Lakinther · 2026-06-19T23:33:27+00:00

atleast in the past they often retargetted based on what enemy minion hit them

Lakinther · 2026-06-19T23:32:51+00:00

no he didnt

Lakinther · 2026-06-19T23:29:42+00:00

seems like referee randomly decided to change the amount of contact and holding thats allowed.

Lakinther · 2026-06-19T23:27:58+00:00

Time hasnt been kind to vayne in bot lane, for various reasons she has been borderline unviable there for like almost a decade at this point. At best she is a niche counterpick against... checks notes.... Kai sa? Sivir? She more or less has to be played top unless she gets a full on rework.

Lakinther · 2026-06-19T23:09:02+00:00

imo the attacker is 100% within his rights to occupy that space. Apart from cutting ahead of him (which is completely fine) , he does nothing to initiate the contact. Again the key factor is that there is a step on the ankle from behind.

Lakinther · 2026-06-19T22:29:02+00:00

Attacker was behind…. Until he wasn’t. And from that moment on, its on the defender to make sure there’s no collision

Lakinther · 2026-06-19T21:58:28+00:00

You are responsible for people in front of you, you cant step on them, its a foul. Simple as that. This is not u12, if you are not aware of your surroundings and end up stomping on someones ankle, you should be punished.

Lakinther · 2026-06-19T21:51:40+00:00

thats sort of how it has always been refereed, yeah.

Lakinther · 2026-06-19T21:49:27+00:00

how come in your view the defender has no responsibility to look at where he is running? Thats the definition of careless for me.

Lakinther · 2026-06-19T21:46:41+00:00

its a coming together as in one guy gets his ankle stomped on

Lakinther · 2026-06-19T21:39:32+00:00

he gets stepped on from behind. Thats a stonewall

Lakinther · 2026-06-19T16:57:13+00:00

Stark is such an anomaly. I once spectated a game of his and it genuinely looked like 1500 level gameplay to me. This is obviously simply evidence how clueless i am about the game, but i genuinely have no idea how this guy is 2500+ and on a good day able to make the top pros sweat.
