"Bon dia a tots!": The Other Teams thread [R]

Offnaldo is such a spoiled manchild.. a mammas boy and cry baby. I'm breaking the law but boo hoo hoo. It's disgusting to see a grown person act and behave like this. It's pathetic. Man up, pay and shut the ******** up.

 

Confederations Cup. Portugal v Mexico

Interesting to see Gomes starting on the left of a four man midfield for Portugal. Selected ahead of Bernardo Silva even.

 

Fernando Santos isn't smarter than Lucho. Also impressed by something not obvious to any one else with a common sense.


Rafa on the bench for Mexico [emoji33]

 

Haha.. video ref strips portugal off an offside goal.. Imagine if that was used in CL [emoji55]

 

i don't care about Portugal, but it could help Barca sell him. its easier to sell a starter for the Euro Cup holders, so i'm ok with it.

 

or in La Liga!!

 

Congratulations for the women team for winning the spanish cup , winning against Atletico Madrid 4-1 in the final .

 

Huge disrespect being shown by Ronaldo towards Real Madrid.

If you really want to leave, just say it openly. Their fans are being taken for a ride.

Let's see if Real Madrid has any self-respect, and still begs him to stay.

 

I don't understand all this bitching in the media etc about VAR. Yesterdays games show clearly that wrong decisions are made very frequently in football and after som adaptation period I think it will benefit fair play. I don't give a shit about flow of the game being ruined as long as offside goals and diving etc gives penalties. Everyone likes to bitch until their team loses a game in a controversial situation.. They they bitch about why there isn't more technology used for fair play and results.

Also Vargas was offside.. No doubt! His whole upper body was leaning in offside.

And there are way more controversial incidents as offside and penalties happening in a game than doubts about ball crossing the goal lines.

 

As long as refs give proper benefit of the doubt to the attacker, VAR is good for the game.

It's great in cricket and tennis, and although they are more "stop start" than football, foootball has a lot of breaks for thrown ins, fouls etc also. Getting a big decision right is better than having a flowing game where the match is tainted by a bad call which affects the result.

I think it should be like in cricket - each team should have the ability to demand a review of a decision a fixed number of times per game (one or three per game, for example), otherwise the only person who can ask for a review unlimited times is the ref. That will stop players like Neuer claiming offside for every single attack.

The only problem as @celito said is when the player is through on goal and gets wrongly called offside, player stops and then gets the decision reviewed and changed. You can't really fix the situation unless you make sure the assistants don't call offside if there are any doubts at all.

 

i recall after the world cup in japan-korea i heard of several companies trying to create an offside technology that tells the officials instantly that a play is offside or not using a chip in the ball and making each player carry another device

if a player pass the ball to another from the same team the AI checks if the receiving player is in an offside position or not , problem was i heard that if two opposing team players are very close ( like both competing for a header ) it becomes hard for the AI to figure out which one made the pass or something like that

btw at home we see the replay after 5 seconds and know if it was offside/goal/pk/red/etc how come it takes over a minute ( sometimes even 2 minutes ) for the officials to figure it out !?!?! aren't they using ear-pieces to hear each other quick ?

 

This scenario came up in Portugal-Mexico...

Cristiano free kick hit the wall, rebound out to Pepe who lobbed a high ball into the box. At this point it was offside but linesman kept his flag down.
Play continued, ball eventually arrived to Cristiano who crashed a shot against the crossbar. Rebound to Nani who scored.
VAR ruled offside on the Pepe lob, so Portugal goal wiped off.

What if things played out a bit differently.

Cristiano free kick hit the wall, rebound out to Pepe who lobbed a high ball into the box. At this point it was offside but linesman kept his flag down.
Play continued,ball eventually intercepted by Mexico, quick counter results in valid looking goal.
VAR showed offside on Pepe lob, so does Mexico goal get wiped off?

 

VAR ruin Flow off the game they say.. Please but the playacting and rolling on the ground in pain, getting stretched out after 3-5 min and players surrounding ref for 5min to complain also ruin the flow or are those perfectly fine and part of the beautiful game?

Wanna slap every single one complaining. Don't give a shit if Pepe celebration and joy is ruined etc. Some are just too dumb.

 

IFAB’s philosophy regarding VARs is “minimum interference, maximum benefit”.
The question VARs seek to answer is not “was the decision right?” but rather "was the decision clearly wrong?”.
Vargas goal should have stood.

 

The actual play time average per half is 22-23 minutes , thats 44-46 minutes in the entire match which means half of the 90 minutes is wasted

throw ins , goal kicks , fouls , subs , injuries , corner kicks , etc and all that doesn't ruin the flow of the game ?!?!? i agree with you some people have no logic in that regard

waste half of that time to determine the correct result by enforcing fair play using VAR , anyone who doesn't want that to happen is scared that it would negate the chance to influence refs to help them out , because there is no way in hell that a ref watching a super slow motion replay on a 4k 60+ inch TV monitor and still getting it wrong is not bribed in a way or another

 

Belive me LPB and Perez can still make 1m offside goal legit despite VAR [emoji23]

 

Now it's Mou turn..

Wouldn't be surprised if entire LPB has this structure.
