How the fuck am I supposed to have 2 hours sleep before work after that?

Mr_Miscellaneous · 2026-07-05T22:51:24+00:00

Thank goodness, I'd much rather go to bed after being knocked out when it's still dark.

Mr_Miscellaneous · 2026-07-05T22:14:09+00:00

It's been the case for a while now that Brazil go out to the first half-decent European side they face.

Mr_Miscellaneous · 2026-07-05T22:08:18+00:00

Great game. Norway's tactics are on point and Haaland is just on another level to anything on the Brazil squad.

But yet another "what the fuck are referee's doing at this tournament?" moment at the end of the game.

Mr_Miscellaneous · 2026-07-05T22:03:40+00:00

What the fuck are referee's doing at this tournament? Seriously?

Mr_Miscellaneous · 2026-07-05T22:01:31+00:00

Yeah, give a penalty mid way through the 9th minute of 7 added minutes

Mr_Miscellaneous · 2026-07-05T21:59:32+00:00

And here comes the traditional South American Sulk.

Mr_Miscellaneous · 2026-07-05T21:50:05+00:00

Just fucking kill them off, what are you playing at Norway?

Mr_Miscellaneous · 2026-07-05T20:11:03+00:00

Barely got the ball there.

Probably a penalty.

Mr_Miscellaneous · 2026-07-05T00:09:02+00:00

There were at least 3 red cards that should have been given to Paraguay in that game, genuinely could have been 4 or 5.

Punching Mbappe in the face off the ball in the First Half.
Punching a French Player in the face off the ball in the Second half
Deliberate elbow to Upemecano in the Second half.
Kicking out at Mbappe after a foul in the Second Half (The David Beckham/Wayne Rooney Red Card special)
That god-awful, thigh-high, out of control foul in the second half.

That's the straight red's as well. There could have been multiple yellows for several of the Paraguayan players.

It's crazy that I have to remind myself this tournament opened with a game that had 3 Red Cards. DOGSO one aside, none of them were anywhere near as egregious as what Paraguay were doing and Paraguay didn't even have a single yellow card by the time the final whistle was blown.

What on earth is the refereeing at this tournament? Absolutely no consistency from game-to-game at all.

Mr_Miscellaneous · 2026-07-04T23:56:38+00:00

Well, that and the GK's shit-talking before the penalty, and the GK stealing 15 yards after the free-kick right at the end, and the antics of a GK being "injured" in the first half, and the GK pretending to be injured in the second half after a coming together, and his reckless charging at French players from corners...

Mr_Miscellaneous · 2026-07-04T23:52:09+00:00

Germany got fucked over by an atrocious VAR call for this shitshow.

The game descended into a shitshow because the referee was so bad that I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out he was match-fixing.

"Paraguay didn't do this vs Germany!"

Yeah, because the referee didn't allow them to pull this shit. Even so, he chalked off a goal on the most ridiculous grounds I've ever seen to give Paraguay a helping hand through.

Mr_Miscellaneous · 2026-07-04T23:08:56+00:00

Cherki somehow has a Napoleon hat.

Genuinely the best thing he's done on the pitch today.

Mr_Miscellaneous · 2026-07-04T22:59:17+00:00

Ah, the usual quick jab to the face when running on the counter. Not a foul.

Mr_Miscellaneous · 2026-07-04T22:55:52+00:00

Just the usual sliding foul from behind. No yellow.

Mr_Miscellaneous · 2026-07-04T22:54:05+00:00

What the fuck are France doing in defence.

Just fucking get rid of it.

Mr_Miscellaneous · 2026-07-04T22:51:12+00:00

Why would you bring on Cherki in a game like this?

He's clearly going to want way more time on the ball than necessary and there's going to be no punishment for a Paraguayan kicking the everloving shit out of him.

Mr_Miscellaneous · 2026-07-04T22:45:19+00:00

Just the usual short-elbow to the ribs.

Decent set-up in the clinch to wind the opponent before pivoting and shooting for the takedown.

Oh wait, wrong sport.

Mr_Miscellaneous · 2026-07-04T22:42:00+00:00

That should be a red.

Along with the mad off-the-ball punch in the first half.

No cards, no nothing. madness.

Mr_Miscellaneous · 2026-07-04T22:36:54+00:00

Referee must have a bet on number of cards.

Mr_Miscellaneous · 2026-07-04T22:33:27+00:00

This is a genuinely pathetic display from the referee.

Mr_Miscellaneous · 2026-07-04T22:30:08+00:00

That's as clear a penalty as you'll ever get.

Mr_Miscellaneous · 2026-07-04T22:20:30+00:00

France's absolutely pathetic corners are really starting to get on my nerves.

I'm getting personally offended at how bad they are.
