World Cup 2018


Recommended Posts

Great point for Iceland. Maybe now people will realise that despite them being a small populated country they are actually a very well drilled and decent side, and on their day can be a match or more for the likes of England and Argentina.

 

Absolutely outstanding game last night between Spain and Portugal. It's going to take some beating that for the best game of the tournament.

 

It wasn't very pretty but I suppose it works for Iceland?

VAR will ruin football. Get rid of it NOW.

 

The farce surrounding the Peru penalty should be enough. Refereeing is about interpretation. You cannot have decisions like these in a black or white situation.

 

I despair the way football is going. I sometimes wonder why I still love the game, when unseen faces are doing their best to destroy it.

 

I accept that I am an old duffer, but why fix something that isn’t broke ?

Sjokes new £7m Nigerian sighning has hit the back of the net already, albeit his own net but the desperate lardies will count that one.

 

I think they may be in for the penalty culprit.Straight out of the school of Shawcross Defending.

Too true, where to stop? Goal line cameras worthwhile, but how many assistants do we need? 2 on each side should cope with all the penalty calls in big games. Cameras for serious offences missed by the ref during the game, but a juke box jury during the game is becoming ridiculous.

Completely agree. I think some dodgy/bad decisions in football, although incredibly frustrating when they go against you, only adds to the drama in football. Such as the Frank Lampard's goal against Germany for just one example that had clearly crossed the line but was never given. In general these decisions usually end up balancing themselves out too - Sometimes you're on the end of a poor decision and sometimes it goes for you.

Is it just me or do most people here simply not care about the World Cup any longer even when England are participating? I remember growing up that I'd see countless flags in windows and hanging off cars, and yet to you very little of that these days. Perhaps that will change a bit if we actually put in some decent performances and make it to the last 32 or even 16.

disagree. It’s there to stop huge mistakes that ruin matches.

 

Why was it a farce?

 

It takes what 1 minute to get the correct decision. Mad not to use it in my opinion. Wouldn’t use it for simple fouls but for huge decisions like that I simply don’t understand how it can’t be a positive every other sport uses it so why not football?
