No Irish, No Yanks, No Clogs - FIFA World Cup 2018

stormclouds gather

No axe to grind but that was way too ambiguous to give a pen.

I mean the guy touched the ball with his hand

hows that not yellow

ref is giving croatia everythin

I haven't cracked the da Vinci code you interpret the game thru D but I know I don't have any trust in it any more

or the ball touched his hand xp

kev thank god youre hear will u pls talk to these corbynites

the current interpretation of the handball rule is too harsh and VAR has compounded it

but the ref was right given that context

or the ball touched his hand xp

hmm, look up newton's third law

can someone post youtubes of the henry handball until deems stops supporting france pls

if the rules are too harsh then stay within em and dont jump like a fuckin dub in croker cmon guys

I came in to watch just as France scored first and it wasn't even a free kick - fucking hell..

Shearer confirms it was a pen (by saying it was never her)

im not for france im against:

- croatia
- giving succour to exavtly the type of moronic pundit we hate who'll be saying "you cant give a foul in the box for that in a final"

I will read wiki's page on newton's 3rd law later thanks for the heads up

im actually isaac newton

I agree you shouldnt be allowed to celebrate a PK tho, you should have to do those awkward high fives with all your teammates like they do in basketball after a free throw, it's basically the same thing

ah shit I'm agreeing with Shearer need to rethink

also that is def a foul on griezmann for the first ypud have to literally be desperate to ignore all evidence to get any other outcome

ah shit im agreeing with dunphy may need to rethinl

as long as we switch at same time nv we can carry on arguing

on 3?

didi hamann is pure stupid and wrong in his dogged campaign against var

but even he says clear pen

Galling to think Giroud is on course for a WC winners medal for doing sweet fuck all for a month. Not even an own goal.

he's the guivarc'h

chippy brady says hand was in unfortunate position, refuses to be drawn on what new hell this interpretation is

the guv'narch

just watched the henry one again. extremely good and funny hand ball

... or gauling mibbes.

nacho shinned it

Griezmann free kick was soft af but legit. Penalty was get tae fuck. Pundits are fucking terrible. Darragh is trolling entirely intentionally. Perisic goal was sublime. Have i covered it all?

Perisic goal was deflected. Sublimity denied

I agree there's a balance of probabilities case for the pen BTW but that isn't strong enough imo

messi's second touch best touch of the tournament

so far amongst all my peers there is one person who thought penalty and even then w/ hesitancy & admission to lack of familiarity with the rules

i dont troll but i enjoy being awkwardly and smugly correct

Perisic goal was sublime off the first touch before he even hit it with his left

Messi's s the best of the best

the ball from modric set play exquisite..obv target, looks gettable at all times, was never gettable

look I don't make the rules

roy keane agrees w/NV if it helps (except he's much angrier)

Messi for goal of the tournament easy. Pavard's strike esp good but what a touch.

hmm

pavard goal context edges it imo

i bet smudgy FIFA secretly likes having the first VAR worldcup being decided by the VAR.

Roy Keane is me I think

what a shot!

Cro have started this so well.

he is you

is the french backline actually much good or have everyone except belgium just backed off

Just know France are going to get this, what a robbery.

llorrriissss

magine an english gk faced with that
