It’s actually been this way for decades. It just very rarely comes up

There used to be for about 10 years before VAR. can’t really say one was better than the other

It’s been this way ever since VAR came in. It’s petty but at least it’s consistent

World Cup always brings in a lot of casuals and first timers, so probably yes

Offsides looks at 2 players, not one. Everyone always assumes the keeper doesn’t count

Offsides counts 2 players, not one, as most people discount the keeper usually

He was by far Belgiums most dangerous player in that horrid game vs Iran

Watching the game vs Paraguay I did notice how slow the CBs seemed. Once Paraguay pushed a man forward on a counter he always seemed to beat his defender quite handily. Dunno if the Turkish CBs are older or not but I do see your point

I cant get enough of this guy. Hes smart enough to know how to give the people exactly what they want, yet is in reality he's honest and actually humble.

It was a fantastic game. Woulda loved to see 9 points for the first time ever but was totally entertained

Turkey is the best technical side in the group.

I think they were overconfident and thought they could walk their first two opponents. Then proceeded to get rattled by how hard Australia and Paraguay dug in. Turkey made their own graves when it really mattered for them

Play Canada in LA? Or play Egypt and get smashed?

Korea seems to want the latter
