calzino, Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:01 (four years ago) link

how is your star player your right back tho

tbf Scotland's is their left back... men's team, of course.

Orpheus Knutt (Tom D.), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:02 (four years ago) link

scott is such a lumbering loping disaster area haha

This is like when a League 2 team thinks they’ll cruise to promotion by adopting a quality passing game

Blandford Forum, Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:20 (four years ago) link

I was just relaying the story (which may have been brought up upthread) about the US men's team being asked about the pay inequality and each individual having no response. And the one commentator posting straight away something like "the men's team is unable to defend anything." Rapinoe is a unicorn.

Nice!

Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:23 (four years ago) link

just learned today that Rapinoe and Sue Bird are partners! Seattle power couple

don't mock my smock or i'll clean your clock (silby), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:24 (four years ago) link

Sweet... but VAR ffs.

Orpheus Knutt (Tom D.), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:24 (four years ago) link

Was offside.

ShariVari, Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:24 (four years ago) link

no goal!

Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:24 (four years ago) link

Yes, fair enough.

Orpheus Knutt (Tom D.), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:25 (four years ago) link

Her knee was off

ShariVari, Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:25 (four years ago) link

Hopefully it will gee them up, though.

ShariVari, Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:26 (four years ago) link

maybe var is actually . . . good?

mookieproof, Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:27 (four years ago) link

it was completely correct there, but it is utter shite for the game in the long term.

calzino, Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:29 (four years ago) link

Yeah, I keep reading people complaining but VAR is, would you believe it, accurate. It’s just people wanting a more human approach, with all the errors it comes with. Like when people complained about sabermetrics a while back

John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt, Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:31 (four years ago) link

there's been plenty of dumb VAR calls tho

bookmarkflaglink (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:31 (four years ago) link

No idea what sabermetrics is but VAR is shite.

Orpheus Knutt (Tom D.), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:32 (four years ago) link

Said all along, usually right but

Rory end to the lowenbrow (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:33 (four years ago) link

What percent of VAR calls are completely incorrect? What percent are contentious? I’d wager the “bad VAR calls” are just contentious, which means very little

John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt, Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:34 (four years ago) link

Hard to argue for that tho.
Anyway England are not gonna pass thru the middle here, they need to get a lot wider.

Rory end to the lowenbrow (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:34 (four years ago) link

This is precisely what VAR is for/should be for: offside or not, ball over the line or not. But leave the "hmm quite a nasty foul but is it a red/penalty?" to the ref please.

Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:34 (four years ago) link

White bottles it

Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:35 (four years ago) link

But the VAR is having a looksee lol

Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:35 (four years ago) link

Whining for a PK for no reason

Fuck Trump, cops, and the CBP (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:36 (four years ago) link

Just a whiff

Fuck Trump, cops, and the CBP (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:36 (four years ago) link

you mean whinging

mookieproof, Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:36 (four years ago) link

Ref off to watch now. These shenanigans killed VAR before it was truly well alive, rip

Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:37 (four years ago) link

lol at that dive

imago, Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:37 (four years ago) link

It's gonna be a pen isn't it lol

Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:37 (four years ago) link

LOOOOOL

Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:38 (four years ago) link

That is absolutely not a foul. That is being close enough to the striker for them to clip you.

ShariVari, Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:38 (four years ago) link

GET IN INGERLIND

Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:38 (four years ago) link

Yeah, VAR, great, isn't it?

Orpheus Knutt (Tom D.), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:38 (four years ago) link

And a yellow, too ;_;

Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:38 (four years ago) link

Awful.

ShariVari, Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:39 (four years ago) link

Awful

Fuck Trump, cops, and the CBP (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:39 (four years ago) link

Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:39 (four years ago) link

The BBC commentators really worked themselves into a shoot over this one huh

Also the ref

Dadjokke (Sgt. Biscuits), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:40 (four years ago) link

Abysmal penalty.

Orpheus Knutt (Tom D.), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:40 (four years ago) link

ShariVari, Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:40 (four years ago) link

Great save!

John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt, Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:41 (four years ago) link

They’ve missed three of their four penalties. Probably good this isn’t going the distance.

ShariVari, Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:41 (four years ago) link

Bright Yellow Red

Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:42 (four years ago) link

No knighthood for Neville Minor :(

Orpheus Knutt (Tom D.), Tuesday, 2 July 2019 20:43 (four years ago) link

Seeing the replay now: absolutely woeful penalty
