Pistol Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 11 minutes ago, slufanskip said: I saw the replay. He 100% goes down to draw the foul. It’s the way they play. Any contact go down like you were just hit by a cannon from 10 yards away. You watch the things they do with the ball at their feet, the way they move it around in tight spaces. It’s amazing. They don’t need the antics. "That's 100% a foul" from the broadcast team. I see why it was called. Not 100%, though. The FOX coverage of this WC has been abysmal. slufanskip likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FOX coverage of this WC has been abysmal. I get why they called it, but I think the fact that it’s even in question is a problem. You should be required to attempt to make a play, not just go down with the slightest bit of contact. The game isn’t meant to be played that way. Agree with the Fox coverage. Just because you used to be a good player, doesn’t mean you’ll be a good commentator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufanskip Posted December 18, 2022 Author Share Posted December 18, 2022 Agree with that yellow and the No call. However, both of the fouls leading to penalty kicks should have been the same. How do you let all the acting go on all game, and then hand out a yellow at 86 minutes for something that’s happened 15 times prior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufanskip Posted December 18, 2022 Author Share Posted December 18, 2022 This has been a terribly officiated game. How do you not play the advantage on that yellow stopping a France counter with numbers.

slufanskip Posted December 18, 2022 Author Share Posted December 18, 2022 Yes. A great game and I believe Argentina was the better team today. I wish I could get past their BS and like them, but I can’t. In one game, Argentina showed all that’s great about soccer and all that sucks.

slufanskip Posted December 18, 2022 Author Share Posted December 18, 2022 Wow. WTF. When I wrote that above was when Messi scored his 2nd thinking that was the game. Sad that a game like this has to end in PK’s though Even if only in finals this should have played on. After the OT’s go Golden Goal and add a sub every 15 minutes until you’re out. Entire roster helps determine winner. Finals shouldn’t end in PK’s RamJAMTIME likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC1764 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 This is like the soccer version of Super Bowl 32 when Favre(Mbappe) was a multi MVP award winner and defending champion going up against one of the legends Elway (Messi) who had never won the big one and did the latter win it in dramatic fashion.

It is probably the greatest sporting event of all time, by default. The World Cup is the biggest spectacle in the world, and this was by far the greatest World Cup match of all time.

Better team won. And the constant nonsense that all Brazilians were cheering for France is just plain wrong!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
