My hopes, your fears
Your only limitation
Your thoughts, my schemes
My own evaluation

VAR everything

sorry fred

if you're going to go up the middle on a PK, why go on the ground where the keeper can stop it with his feet?

CRO

jorgensen penalty maybe in top five worst i've ever seen

less chance of overhitting and sending over crossbar

kasper should have taken the 5th himself

Some excellent goalkeeping in that though.

sure, and I guess putting it on the ground gives more time for the keeper to dive out of the way

xxp

Called it. I now hate Russia and Croatia so the World Cup is definitely ruined.

not a huge PK fan but I like PKs better when they're not easily come by, either due to good goalkeeping or lol-kicks

you blew your chance, you dane blowers you

y'know maybe the Russian gov just spiked everybody else with anti-PEDs

he did kinda get craned

i hate him

they're not rules, they're laws which are reasonably immutable but subject to varying FIFA or regional FA interpretations. i mean if you're gonna football lawyer then get the terminology down.

explanation reported from the ref was somewhat different btw, but who cares, shit football deserves shit adjudication.

right team won anyway

We didn't deserve it, but I so wanted to beat Croatia :(

what did the ref say?

"sorry guys the VAR advised me not to give a red"

can't remember exactly how ITV worded it now, i assume it's still basically what we've already said, no longer a red for that kind of foul.

no reference at all to the "open goal" law for some reason

Is it me or goalkeepers are way better than they were 10 years ago?

wheel out the whiteboards

but if you play like shit for 110 mins and you get a bad call in the last minute it's not the bad call that's fucked you really. assuming they'd actually fucked it.

loads of ppl I know have played (and scored) against kasper as kids and they are all v fond of him. he was denmark's best player this tournament... should have played for england B-)

i mean fuck 'em basically, if there's a divine justice it's not fretting about shitty interpretations of the laws, it's fucking with you for cowardice, ineptitude and being boring.

10 years ago a goalkeeper would kick a ball in his own net

It's Kasper :)

itv (forget who) also said that it was yellow not red bcz the player was at least trying to go for the ball not the man
