just seen the eriksen goal, that was v nice

I think he's trying to pull his hand away if anything, that is well dodgy.
― The Savic Detectives (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 21 June 2018 12:56 (five years ago) link
And O'Neill is right, the act of referring it to VAR influences the ref's decision every time.

TS: Glad its not another fucking 1-0 vs Getting sick of penaltyball

Heartily sick of penaltyball
Sick of penaltyball and not at all biased

VG joins the team, scores eight goals, Fred despairs.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 21 June 2018 13:02 (five years ago) link
What ref is going to dare to disagree with a VAR call?
I guess it takes a lot of weight of the referee's and other official's shoulders, if they're not now, even in theory, meant to see and catch everything that goes on on the pitch- if the weight of the decision is shared by the guys in the studio in Moscow, who the players can't surround and intimidate.

We don't really deserve to win, but I'm still really rooting for us, because otherwise I would kinda have to root for France tonight, and I really don't want to do that.
― Frederik B, Thursday, 21 June 2018 13:27 (five years ago) link
Denmark fortunate that scoring goals is basically impossible now

yeah they've really laboured this half

draw suits them better than Aus tho so

And now for a glorious Peruvian victory. Uh, maybe.

Deep sigh

happy with that! not over the moon, lot of almost-shots that didnt get there. we sorely need a striker to really capitalize.
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 21 June 2018 13:59 (five years ago) link
Thanks for the match, VG, and wishing you all the best against Ned.
― Frederik B, Thursday, 21 June 2018 14:04 (five years ago) link
cheers Fred! It was a good game to watch! I am glad I didnt regret dragging myself out of bed at 5am
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 21 June 2018 14:06 (five years ago) link
Cheers! I'll say that missing the first half hour was not optimal from my viewpoint, but oh well :)
― Frederik B, Thursday, 21 June 2018 14:08 (five years ago) link
If France and Peru draws tonight, then France and Denmark will both make it through if we draw in the final match.
― Frederik B, Thursday, 21 June 2018 14:18 (five years ago) link
Sorry Ned and VG :)
nice dive in the box there from france

Fred what is there not to like with this french team? A bunch of black muslims representing France, that’s the dream.

don't really know much about soccer but idk why these guys don't just blast it at the goal as hard as they can when they get a look like that

did mbappé just nick that goal off griezmann?

It's a pity Giroud is (still) such a carthorse though.

Sad for Peru but hey
Lotta folks in the pub rate Giroud more than I do
― The Savic Detectives (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 21 June 2018 15:56 (five years ago) link
I approve of Giroud in this French attack which can otherwise be disjointed. he suits slower edgier games which you normally get in the WC & I wld have started him against Australia but this is more frantic and you cld make a stronger case for Dembele

France has been boring and closed since Schumacher ice hockey-ed Battiston. If football champagne couldn’t win in 1982, then the world doesn’t deserve it.
― Van Horn Street, Thursday, 21 June 2018 16:33 (five years ago) link
Basically this world cup, first goal goes in and that's that, unless var takes a hand. Don't think there's been any come from behind wins. Euro 96, another disappointing tournament also had none, other than the final (and golden goal made that a farce)
― A Warning to the Karius (Bananaman Begins), Thursday, 21 June 2018 16:40 (five years ago) link
Golden goal was 2000, no?
― Van Horn Street, Thursday, 21 June 2018 16:46 (five years ago) link
Even if Prue score, it'll get disallowed by var

Both. But iirc flag was up for germany winner in 96, referee bottled it
