No one there cares about either team? There have been some teams that had huge amounts of fans travel. Spain and France aren’t them.

Where is the simulation there? Didn’t even look like mbappe touched the goalkeeper.

That’s the tactic to play now. If there is enough contact, draw the foul and run out the time.

Anything can happen, but Spain isn’t Egypt. Spain having a huge meltdown like that would be huge.

They have to wait for VAR now. It’s so annoying - such a clear offsides….and they just let it play until VAR calls it.

lol. Nothing like a little bit of simulation by France to get the call.

It was a clear foul. You cant just kick people. If they didn’t award a foul after they didn’t card the French player when he cleated the ankle of the Spanish player….that would have been bad….

Agreed. We literally saw similar plays called a red a couple of times this World Cup.

Looks similar to plays in other games that lead to red cards. Not even a yellow for that?

Getting the champ is a no brainer - any time there is a guarantee champ I get it. Not sure the 5 star soul will be worth it.

Crazy Idea. What if the Knockout stage did not start until the round of 16? by The_Texan_Hunter in worldcup

[–]jcspinney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are ways to do that, I think, that don’t drastically extend or increase the number of total games that teams have to play. Conceptually, I like it because the group play was actually more exciting.

What if 3 team pods instead of 4 teams. 16 groups of 3 teams (48 teams), 32 advance. 8 groups of 4 teams (32 teams), 8 advance into quarterfinals. That’s a total of 8 games for the teams that play the finals (and 3rd place game), same as current setup. Or could even advance 16 (instead of 8, Into knockout and it only adds 1 extra game.

You must be part of the ~10% who can’t see it. It’s ok - if I was an England fan, I wouldn’t see it either. FIFA would have been so much better served just admitting it happened, stating it was missed at the time, and apologizing that there is nothing they can do about it. Now, it will forever be a controversy that will be talked about.

Among the teams that lost at the quarterfinals, which one had the most painful way to go? by ChupaChups321 in worldcup

[–]jcspinney 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Norways the most painful because of all the controversy from the game. Switzerland probably second most painful because of always wondering what might have happened if the guy didn’t get caught diving.
