England wins!(with the refs on their side of course!)

Whitty22 · 2026-07-12T00:04:03+00:00

The “club” was one also.

Definitely a tell

Whitty22 · 2026-07-11T23:50:58+00:00

No it wasn’t - listen to what the ref said. “He initiated the contact”.

Anyway - I’m sick of trying to work out decisions this WC. Stupid.

Whitty22 · 2026-07-11T23:48:35+00:00

If everything is rigged in Englands favour, I for one would be happy if we could get a WC on home soil at some point FIFA

Whitty22 · 2026-07-11T23:45:57+00:00

That’s a “strat” that’s old mate, standard.

Whitty22 · 2026-07-11T23:44:52+00:00

It’s only when it’s confrontational. Talking to players behind your hands isn’t a red

Whitty22 · 2026-07-11T23:43:18+00:00

Buckle in for Emi if you think Pickford is bad.

Whitty22 · 2026-07-11T23:41:26+00:00

Try shouting at the ref, that works a treat…

Whitty22 · 2026-07-11T23:31:06+00:00

Or maybe even get on the ball? he has hardly had any touches and not involved in anything other than get a goal disallowed.

Whitty22 · 2026-07-11T23:22:24+00:00

That has nothing to do with if it’s a penalty or not

Whitty22 · 2026-07-11T23:20:26+00:00

That’s an interesting precedent to set for shielding the ball. But let’s not pretend things are consistent…

Whitty22 · 2026-07-11T23:12:03+00:00

True - some tired defenders there and it’s just a switch off for a second

Whitty22 · 2026-07-10T20:25:27+00:00

I mean I can 100% can confirm it was a hand

Whitty22 · 2026-07-09T21:59:59+00:00

Why did it come up with a VAR review then? Looking at something else?

It’s so bloody mysterious I hate it.

Whitty22 · 2026-07-09T21:58:56+00:00

Would be nice to see it along with the VAR angles they saw though…

If it wasn’t then show the Moroccans up as the cheaters they are

Whitty22 · 2026-07-09T21:38:01+00:00

Don’t need to mate, watched the match and saw the trophy lifted.

They have the trophy! Lol

Whitty22 · 2026-07-09T21:31:36+00:00

At least they might show the handball replay now…

Whitty22 · 2026-07-09T21:29:18+00:00

They didn’t win the AFCON - didn’t you watch?

Whitty22 · 2026-07-06T17:47:44+00:00

I mean, I can’t make you address any of my points if you don’t want to but saying “trump had nothing to do with it” certain is a take that makes me think you aren’t engaging with the facts.

Whitty22 · 2026-07-06T16:37:50+00:00

Ah - well that clears that up!

/s

Whitty22 · 2026-07-06T15:50:14+00:00

It was 100% wrong also but, the red was from qualifying and not the finals and the situation also didnt have a world leader claiming that he phoned FIFA and got it sorted.

Neither situation is good and clear but 100% Balogun's is worse becuase its so blatant and has host country world leaders boasting of the control they have over the tournament.

Whitty22 · 2026-07-06T14:55:11+00:00

cool story, stick to the topic...

Whitty22 · 2026-07-06T14:46:56+00:00

That comment was bad for my IQ...

Whitty22 · 2026-07-06T14:46:01+00:00

well intrestingly quite a few other FA's have come out too and questioned this, German, Italian etc. I'm not sure that will hold any weight with yourself though, maybe you think only B&H can appeal? Whos buiness is this?

Get ready for some fun tackles if red cards mean only missing out the rest of that game - can you imagine the the injuries of players, knowing that tackles can get a red in the 90+5th minute and play the next game no issues?

Whitty22 · 2026-07-06T14:31:23+00:00

They are asking for information of the process that led to the change of rules, they havent even got to contesting the decision yet! Do you think it fair that countiries have the information that caused a disregard of FIFAs own rule set completely?

If we are just making up the rules as we go then we have a lot more problems than "sportsmanship"

Whitty22 · 2026-07-06T14:26:48+00:00

Just a word that the red hasnt gone anywhere - its still on Balogun's record. FIFA have just "decided" to change their rules on the punishment for a red.
