still the Koreans were into the Swedish box before the ref stopped play, something ridiculous is bound to happen eventually

If they'd scored the goal would just have been cancelled, right? They got the ball and began the contra through illegal means.
― Frederik B, Monday, 18 June 2018 13:27 (five years ago) link
i'm sure that's what would happen but it would be clumsy and stupid, especially for people at the ground. it's not very likely so i'm not that exercised by it but aesthetically i'm still not totally into rewinding after that much play

itv commentators baffled by granqvist taking the oen revealing they've done less research for their job than ppl I know have done for fantasy football

well there's a surprise. they're only unpaid amateurs tho so you can't expect them to follow football with any seriousness.
― The Savic Detectives (Noodle Vague), Monday, 18 June 2018 13:32 (five years ago) link
I'd like to propose giving a 30kv stun taser to the ref, any dissent over decisions or smartmouthing and you get zapped. Saves all the fucking about with camera rooms in some secret bunker, and would add entertainment.

Granqvist 12 in a season in Holland, though I guess most people score 12 in a season in Holland at some point or other.

this wasn't lee seung-woo but kim shin-wook! BBC had wrongly matched names and numbers; clearly the subterfuge continues

there are about five Kims in the squad, but it's always amateur hour at the beeb.

Well, yeah, but Scandinavian teams did pretty well in the 40's. Helped not having all young men killed in war.

this time last year i'd've said he wasn't Prem class tbh, but he dug in and contributed a lot last season, i'll miss him if he goes but it's not like he won't be replaced and he deserves regular game time wherever he ends up
― The Savic Detectives (Noodle Vague), Monday, 18 June 2018 14:33 (five years ago) link

Hoping Belgium will be the first team to really show it's class. It's been a classless tournament so far, at least from the big guns.

Spain and Portugal had to play one another, which must've helped them to wake up.
Too many of the major countries are doing *checks notes* though I am enjoying all I've seen because its the world cup after all.
