VAR really flung the doors open for referees and former referees to start making significant material changes to how football works. I don’t really care if it’s ‘correct’, it’s fucking boring. These people are the cops of the sport and their power should be curbed.

(xp) I think attempts making football more like an American sport have been going on for a long time.

if it was an american sport the clock would hit 90:00 (or more likely, 00:00) and a horn would blow and play would be dead, right there. extra time that only the ref can clearly perceive is as non-american as it gets imo.

My assumption is still that injury time is too long now for upsets to happen. Fergie time standardised.

A nasty collision apparently, so this one like the three preceding games is going to top 100 minutes

Even more amusing: now getting sidebar ads for "Visit Saudi" with Messi posing with binoculars up a mountain in Al Soudah, leaning against some modern building in a tuxedo, wearing a flower crown in Rijal Almaa, etc. (Probably shot on location but so hyperreal it just looks like Photoshop).

re the armbands. if they do it in the last game of the group stage won't the tickets that follow go away for the knockout stage? does that also apply to red cards?

i think the yellows aren't wiped until the quarter finals. and coyly gaming the system would be just more insult imo
