The World Cup Thread

[whelk]

I didn’t say it did. It is just that people with vagina are just as capable as commenting and commentating on football as men. What anyone has between their legs shouldn’t be an issue.

 

Like children - people referencing vaginas as only way to distinguish. I prefer fannies

[OttawaSaint]

Balls up by Spain, 1-0 Morocco.

[OttawaSaint]

Spain equalize 1-1

[Batman]

Why should competence play a part in choosing women? It doesn’t appear to do so with many men.

 

what a bizarre thing to say.

Never heard anyone shout 'SEXIST' when having a weekly pop at Mark Lawrenson

[whelk]

Predict first nil nil of the WC tonight

[OttawaSaint]

Iran the better team here. If Portugal lose this then they are very likely to be out of the competition.

[OttawaSaint]

Forget that. Screamer by Quaresma.

[Micky]

Iran the better team here. If Portugal lose this then they are very likely to be out of the competition.

But Portugal have quality...!

Controversial VAR

[shurlock]

Hahahaha - Ronaldo misses the pen.

[scotty]

Never a pen, but game's getting tasty now

[shurlock]

An acquired taste but lawro should be doing every game. On top form tonight.

They should pair him up with shrieky woman commentator

I admit to chuckling out loud to the milk 'gag'

Nothing is worse than this ****....how very sexist of me!

There there Bats, it’s not your fault you don’t understand the argument.

[Batman]

I see, critique a female 'tater = sexist

critique a male 'tater = fair game

[Toadhall Saint]

Wow!

[OttawaSaint]

Tough call.

[angelman]

They'll go thru on GD won't they?

[Batman]

how can lawrenson say Ronaldo has not even caught him in the face when watching those replays?

whether it was intentional or not is another matter....

 

 

yellow

[OttawaSaint]

Wasn’t enough for a red. Those who don’t like him will disagree I’m sure.

[OttawaSaint]

Morocco 2-1 up on Spain.

[scotty]

Looked intentional to me, still not a red though.

 

This game has been the first I've seen that's really made me sceptical of var. Taken so much flow out of the game.

[Batman]

that was cedric all over.

[OttawaSaint]

Who? Spain? No, 1pt clear of Mor and Iraq right now.

[angelman]

Who? Spain? No, 1pt clear of Mor and Iraq right now.

 

Ah yes. For some reason I thought that they were on the same as Mor. But if Iran equalise???

 

EDIT - all irrelevant anyway now.

[whelk]

VAR got to overrule that offside

[OttawaSaint]

This is becoming a farce. VAR again. Could be a penalty.

[Batman]

that was a joke

never ever ever a penalty

 

THAT is the VAR we would get with our refs in the prem

[OttawaSaint]

Iran would eliminate Spain.

 

Edit: not now. 2-2.

Should’ve eliminated Ronaldo there

[Batman]

what a chance!!!!!

he has to score that

[Plastic]

Crazy. Just incredible.

[shurlock]

Bloody hell

[OttawaSaint]

If he’d gone across goal there. Wow.

[whelk]

Spain win group then

[OttawaSaint]

Spain now looking to face Russia, on goals scored.

[OttawaSaint]

That’s it. Spain vs Russia, Uruguay vs Portugal.

[Batman]

Spain now looking to face Russia, on goals scored.

 

that ridiculous VAR goal means Portugal have Uruguay instead of Russia.

The ref was an absolute joke. Disgraceful.

 

how was that a clear and obvious error....

[OttawaSaint]

Gutted for Iran. So so close.

[scotty]

That cedric decision.....what a way to decide the next fixtures. Very, very poor.

[S-Clarke]

That ref had no handle on that game at all. If the decisions he was making were based on his 'opinion', then he has no place in football. I expect he will be dropped now when Fifa review this.

[Cabbage_Face]

What a mess that was

 

Bottles sending off Ronaldo

The ref was poor, but the players need to take responsibility. Diving, play acting, running to the ref etc. Utter disgrace. Can’t decide who I want to lose more, Portugal or Uruguay

At least one team is going out. They're the two least likeable sides to make the last 16 (in all likelihood).

[Wade Garrett]

Ref was biased in the Spain game. Terrible.

[benjii]

VAR was correct to enable the Ronaldo penalty and I thought the yellow card decision was correct too. It wasn't violent conduct, his arm was pointing down, he was trying to shrug the guy (who was trying to impede him) off.

 

The penalty on Cedric was ridiculous. I don't understand why the VAR team even referred it back to the ref. And that incident took three minutes, but only 1.5 extra minutes were added.
