FrFan Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 As I said before the refs favoring Portugal/CR7. That should have been a red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visionary Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Wow. Tied up. But it may be too late for Iran at this point. Whoa...holy ****...and they almost took the lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Goals scored in stoppage time in both games means Spain will win the group. Big difference between playing Russia and Uruguay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forehead Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Actually, I was rooting heavily for Iran and I didn't think that deserved a red. I still think Portugal is an extremely unlikable group and I hope they get knocked out quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zazzaro703 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) Damn it, I really like Uruguay and despise Spains brand of soccer and was really hoping that was going to be the round of 16 matchup so Uruguay could send them packing. That was a beautiful corner though and capped off by a fantastic finish. That is not a red card by Ronaldo. A foolish play that could come back and get him before the cards are reset so he might get a match down the line, but that wasn't worth a red.

JSSkinz Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 20 PK's awarded in the group stage this year, the most ever. Only 5 of the 20 pk's were missed, Ronaldo and Messi account for 2 of the 5 misses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every single play ! Just ranting about the Mafifa which is still finding a way to fix games to the dtriment of the "weaker" nations. How many times did you witness a "weaker" nation winning a WC game or advancing due to an officiating mistake ? How many times did you see a powerhouse winning and advancing to the next round with the help of the referee ? I even witnessed a WC collusion in order for both top teams to advance to the detriment of the 3rd (weaker) one. Sorry you don't get it. About the pk for Iran you should blame the corrupted dudes who are running the VAR not the ref he made a good decision not blowing the whistle. The VAR dudes made him change his mind. I bet you didn't pay attention just like you didn't pay attention when Ronaldo was taking off his armband, a clear obvious gesture to confess he elbowed the iranian intentionally, and that he thought the ref was going to show him the red Last but not least if you've got a problem with my rants against Fifa please don't bother to read and post Edited June 26, 2018 by FrFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the italians and Spaniards would point you to 2002 and disagree. Could it be that there are and will be officiating errors in every tournament? Hmm...

The ball on average is in play 60 of 90 minutes, so you get the best 25% of that action. I'm good with that for a lot of these games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get the best of both worlds WC coverage on Fox and which hand LeBron James used to pick his nose on ESPN. Be interesting to see what France do without Pogba seeing as he's been involved in every single goal they've scored so far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsburySkinsFan Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Nice goal by Peru right there, they are setting defensively and attacking quickly. Aussies getting opportunities but not finishing. The Roos MUST win for a chance to advance this match could be fun. France is coasting into next round SIX starting changes in the line up, most are young with little or no WC experience.

AsburySkinsFan Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Ugh!! Aussies needed to finish there, that ball was percectly played. Possibly Peruvian player got a touch but it just looked like the Roo sent it wide. Nice goal by Peru! Aussies have work to do if they want a chance to move on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched Barca this past season mostly on Beinsports, but time zones and work being what they are, I missed a couple matches. Beinsports has a program called 90 in 30 where they take the best and most interesting parts of the match, edited so the whole thing can be shown in half an hour. It's probably closer to 20 or 25 minutes because they still show a block of commercials at half time. It's great. Speaking of commercials, those Barca matches spoiled me. It's really hard watching another sport now, with breaks every 10 minutes. It's much easier to ignore all the commericals at the half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
