1010632774322151428 is not a valid tweet id If an Italian official ever did that in a win, twitter would blow up with English pundits crying and screaming about Italian arrogance. The atmosphere would pressurize beyond capacity, we'd implode on ourselves and cause a mini black hole in our neighborhood within the milky way galaxy that would eventually wipe out the entire galaxy. It would make the death star look like a water gun in comparison.
VAR is there just for the big teams All the smaller sides were screwed by it, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Sweden and now Panama and im certainly forgetting some
Lingard and another guy were offside in the build up. Clear as day on the replay. Why wouldn't you be able to call that after VAR? The foul on Lingard doesn't happen if the offside is correctly given. Panama are awful.
Because you're beating up a minnow? England sneaked past Tunisia in injury time, a team Belgium easily crushed yesterday. Hard to know where England is at yet.
🗣 “Diego Costa cussed everyone in my life during the entire game. The things he said to me were disgusting. He constantly insulted my entire family. He would turn around and look me in the eye and insult my sister & mother.”- Iran’s Morteza Pouraliganji. pic.twitter.com/yHka8MY8nR— Football Talk (@FootballTalkHQ) June 23, 2018 The dark arts of the game are ok or who thinks its too far to gain an advantage?
It's the World Cup... by any and all means neccessary. Getting beat but being proud you lost while playing a clean game, when the only chance you had was to roll the mud, is for losers. That's just me though. YMMV
🗣 “In the last few days, I told my players to grow 5cm and put on 5kg. They couldn’t do it. So instead we will have to try to win by using the ball well.”- Japan coach Akira Nishino on how his team will combat the threat of Senegal. 😂 pic.twitter.com/UP2lS7S7ZB— PurelyFootball ℗ (@PurelyFootball) June 24, 2018 I like the Asian coaches sense of humour.
I'm sure the Iranian was reading Diego Costa a Tony Robbins passage the whole game. Everyone was fair game for banter during my youth club years. It kept things fiery.
While I don't predict England will win the WC, I think they will go at least close and, remember, they have the youngest squad in the competition, so they are set for some golden years even if they don't win this time. As an Italy fan, I like to be in their position.
Love me some James. It’s a shame only a handful of clubs can afford his wages. He should be leading a team built around him , not just being another dude.
Most overrated team at the WC so far. They played the ranking system to get top seed, but the plan backfired when they got a "real" top seed Colombia in their group.
Go figure that the Saudi vs. Egypt game was the most entertaining of the first two. Egypt are giving the Saudis waaayyy too much credit, bunkering and treating them like Spain. They just need to play the high line and stomp KSA out.
Cavani with a beast track-back. Say what you want about his finishing, but his work rate is abnormally strong.
Yep, that's why PSG got away with playing him on the wing for a time while Zlatan camped out up top. He just hustled up and down the field and got into the box when it was time, even though he's dribbled defenders a handful of times in his career. Wow, Saudis go ahead at the death. What a travesty of a performance by Egypt.
Anything goes at the WC, anything to get an edge, this is the biggest stage. Receive it, give it back. But if we're playing pick-up and someone talks like that to me, there will be a brawl 100% of the time.
Iran GK is a dick. When his defender didnt let a ball through, the GK gave him a huge shove in the chest and yelled at him. When the GK dropped the easiest ball from a corner and was lucky someone wasn’t there for a tap in, nobody told him anything.
Hilarious because that keeper has been a disaster on routine crosses today. I'm all aboard the Portugal troll train right now. Hopefully they 0-0 this and still win the group.
