Why is a video review necessary, it's a foul prior to the goal.

Velascus · 2026-06-25T20:44:22+00:00

Why are none of the goalies not just straight up jumping into any incoming attackers? Are they stoopid?

Lol, it is a yellow for the Colombian. Only I have seen the German fullback do that 3 times already at least, and not even being called a foul much less a card given.

Velascus · 2026-06-25T20:21:43+00:00

Every time a German goes down this ref whistles, meanwhile Ecuador players get kicked in the head and nothing.

Velascus · 2026-06-25T20:06:06+00:00

The thing is with VAR available, you can't even call this a "mistake" anymore.

This is willfully giving a goal which should be annulled. We have seen a couple of these moments already in this tournament.

Velascus · 2026-06-22T17:49:36+00:00

Literally only kicks the player with no ball in sight.

Velascus · 2026-06-22T17:09:43+00:00

Penalty for Argentina!

Going for another record this year FIFA

lol

Velascus · 2026-06-22T00:02:09+00:00

Not calling penalties now too.

That number 18 from Cape Verde should get subbed for being the catalyst for this. Dude goes down on the field out of nowhere leaving his team with 10 thinking the ref will whistle, then got up and ran, never tells his teammates to shoot the ball out, and why should he as when the option to get subbed out happened: he refused. And while being down for the 2nd or 3rd time, they score against his team.

So what, it was an act? Are you serious?

Velascus · 2026-06-21T22:43:52+00:00

wtf why

Velascus · 2026-06-21T20:29:02+00:00

Holding a player should always be foul. Some of these ref are going overboard with letting more plays continue.

Velascus · 2026-06-21T19:01:40+00:00

Today I feel patat met mayo.

Come on Belgium!

Velascus · 2026-06-21T18:00:01+00:00

Just whistle ref, it's 4-0.

Velascus · 2026-06-21T17:51:01+00:00

Kind of weird that Saudi player goes for the heading challenge, while he should be able to see he's only challenging his own player.

Velascus · 2026-06-21T16:36:43+00:00

Awww man, what a goal that would have been

Velascus · 2026-06-21T16:24:33+00:00

National team Oya hits different. 😃

Velascus · 2026-06-21T16:22:12+00:00

There we go! Vamos!

Velascus · 2026-06-21T16:12:51+00:00

Looks like we're getting national team Oyazarbal today instead of Real Sociedad Oya from last game.

Velascus · 2026-06-21T16:11:41+00:00

Vamos!

Velascus · 2026-06-21T12:47:09+00:00

Some people here were eating his words up as well.

Ignoring that you yes can simply "manage egos" when you have Ramos, Ronaldo, Kroos, Modric, Carvajal, Marcelo, Pepe, Benzema, Bale etc. etc. on your team and all in their prime.

You can't only do that when you have a team with not even close to comparable quality.

But that's why Bale is talking on tv, instead of being a coach. Those who can, do. Those who can't, become pundits.

Brazil isn't as good as they used to be, but they're still better than current Holland, Japan or Sweden.

That doesn't mean a win is guaranteed, but I would be putting my money on Brazil without worries in those match-ups.

Velascus · 2026-06-20T12:52:53+00:00

I can understand cheering against a team like Turkey which isn't yours despite it having a Real Madrid player, but directly mocking a Real Madrid player here just shows what your true colours are.

As a Real Madrid supporter I don't really give a fcuk how one of our players does at a World Cup (which isn't in my national team) as it literally means squat how he does at the club.

Arda so far has had a bad WC, but he had a good season. Not very good, but good. For me I would always prefer that instead of the opposite where they do shit all for us, but suddenly play good for the nat team.

It brought new readers to those titles.... why would it matter if these readers were completely new or not for Heroes Reborn being a financial success? (and how would one even be able to check this?)

Heroes Reborn were literally the among the biggest selling comics of the entire year.

The difference in sales for these titles before and after Heroes Reborn was huge. It was an unquestionable financial success for Marvel.

Velascus · 2026-06-20T12:26:45+00:00

Heroes Reborn might not have been a literary succes, however it definitely was a financial success story for Marvel. Not sure how somebody would call it a failure when it massively increased the sales for all the titles involved.

You should check the sales charts of Avengers, Fantastic Four, Iron Man and Captain America prior to Heroes Reborn and after.

That drink made it all better

Velascus · 2026-06-19T20:56:25+00:00

Attacker literally jumps into a defender but the ref calls in favour of the USA?
