everyone ragging on england for slack play yesterday can be made to watch that tbh
spain getting cocky and wanting a red card too
― imago, Monday, 24 June 2019 16:12 (four years ago) link
We didn’t see a proper replay but I reckon if you zoomed in and slowed it down and ignored any context that’s a red all day long

"hoof it to Rapinoe" works often but maybe wanna try some other tactics here and there

The pace of this shit is great

feel like US are asking the questions. every through ball they attempt comes close to working out
― findom haddie (jim in vancouver), Monday, 24 June 2019 16:20 (four years ago) link
spain are getting forward in numbers surprisingly well, good game
― imago, Monday, 24 June 2019 16:33 (four years ago) link
Yeah, this is rolling pretty well all around.

Yes, fun game.
― Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 24 June 2019 16:41 (four years ago) link

Penaltyball has been superseded by VARball.
― Orpheus Knutt (Tom D.), Monday, 24 June 2019 17:31 (four years ago) link
No way will it stand
― Got your butt drank (Neanderthal), Monday, 24 June 2019 17:32 (four years ago) link
since when did catching somebody with your studs in the box after the ball has gone not a penalty?
― findom haddie (jim in vancouver), Monday, 24 June 2019 17:32 (four years ago) link
RIGGED

VAR ran so much smoother in last year's cup
Xpost
― Got your butt drank (Neanderthal), Monday, 24 June 2019 17:33 (four years ago) link
she pulled out of the tackle and barely brushed her. 'caught with studs' is nonsense
― imago, Monday, 24 June 2019 17:35 (four years ago) link
it's not really. you're not allowed to have contact with the opposition player with your studs up? like ever?
― findom haddie (jim in vancouver), Monday, 24 June 2019 17:36 (four years ago) link
this thread is 85% moaning about calls lol

Fair penalty call. Good shot. Go USA!

a lot of people are demanding a standard of leniency in refereeing that doesn't exist in men's professional football
― findom haddie (jim in vancouver), Monday, 24 June 2019 17:39 (four years ago) link
Yeah, I think it was a penalty, just a pity it was for USA.
― Orpheus Knutt (Tom D.), Monday, 24 June 2019 17:39 (four years ago) link
Basically no need whatsoever to go to VAR.
Players catch each other accidentally all the time. The test aiui is whether the conduct was either intentional, reckless or dangerous. What seems to have happened in this World Cup is a massive expansion in what is considered reckless / dangerous play.

15 mins of stoppage

That was a soft pen
― Dadjokke (Sgt. Biscuits), Monday, 24 June 2019 17:46 (four years ago) link
Seven minutes of overtime must be close to some type of record.
― John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt, Monday, 24 June 2019 17:51 (four years ago) link
Nah
― Got your butt drank (Neanderthal), Monday, 24 June 2019 17:51 (four years ago) link
Xp not even close
― findom haddie (jim in vancouver), Monday, 24 June 2019 17:51 (four years ago) link
Nowhere near. Spain infuriatingly ineffectual going forward.
― Orpheus Knutt (Tom D.), Monday, 24 June 2019 17:52 (four years ago) link
Aye fair enough the pen was soft but v much "I've seen them given"
― findom haddie (jim in vancouver), Monday, 24 June 2019 17:52 (four years ago) link
Rapinoe has gotta be pretty beat by now
― Got your butt drank (Neanderthal), Monday, 24 June 2019 17:53 (four years ago) link
I tried Googling "longest overtime in World Cup Soccer" and couldn't find anything.
― John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt, Monday, 24 June 2019 17:54 (four years ago) link
It's not overtime
― Got your butt drank (Neanderthal), Monday, 24 June 2019 17:55 (four years ago) link
Probably because it's not called overtime.
― Orpheus Knutt (Tom D.), Monday, 24 June 2019 17:55 (four years ago) link
(xp!)
Iirc per caek, referees completely make up the amount of added time
They probably won't do a 13 minute added time marathon in the immediate future because it would be embarrassing to VAR imo. It would damage confidence, in the sport, to see it,
― Dadjokke (Sgt. Biscuits), Monday, 24 June 2019 17:57 (four years ago) link
Sadly at work and can't watch this now. Don't think the decisions i've seen have been wrong, mostly, but VAR seems to encourage a pedantic emphasis on some types of infraction at the expense of context and any idea of intentionality. And it fucks with the flow of the game and encourages more dissent/nitpicking from the players. And the handball interpretation is just fucking silly now.
It's kinda messed up that this narrative has been allowed to dominate discussion of the actual football and i feel bad for falling into that too but it's aggravating and it does feel like it's operated in favour of the big teams more, no doubt cos they get fouled more iften but also because they're just better at gaming the rules as they stand.
