What's new

FIFA World Cup 2018

More games like Spain-Portugal please. Alexi Lalas said Morocco was getting out of that group. I don't think so Alexi.

Ya high scoring games are always fun. That’s what sucks about soccer. Not very often do you see 6 goals scored in a game. They need to find a way to increase scoring somehow.
 
Well, what an entertaining game Aus vs France...


Commiserations to my Aussie mates... you guys were in with a chance, and it took a freakish strike by Pogba to clinch it.


All Blacks won, and then Aussies lost... good night.
 
F*^#* diving frogs. Bloody corrupt ref.

Nah it was a penalty but not a yellow card Risdon made a genuine play on the ball, to the naked eye it looks like Risdon gets a touch on the ball then the player, it looked like a correct call until slowed down.

As always we are the first victim of these new rules. I have a hunch tho if the roles were reversed and it was a french player making that challenge on an Australian it would not have been given.

As an example the handball by the french centre half was deliberate and deserved a yellow, which was not given.
 
Gotta love Iceland. They don't give a crap about names or being down, just go and play and enjoy.
 
Since when can the ref look at replays to make a call? And can plays be reviewed during the 45 mins?

This is new to me.

I'm not completely sure how it works, what sort of time frame is allowed but Australia got screwed by it earlier today. I would support them handing out cards for simulation, during halftime and after the game, Hernandez for France today was an absolute disgrace and should get a yellow for his pathetic efforts.

I missed that game, it was too early here. Was it a flop or something? I absolutely support giving yellow cards for flopping.
 
Dude, I lived in Europe until 2004;)

I’m the authority here, I lived in Spain for 24 years. The best league in the world.

Just kidding, tbh I haven’t been following La Liga much since I moved here. For one my team is still in frickin 2nd division...
