    Wasn't a complete whiff. There was contact.

    In fairness, how many times have we taking photos like that or gestures similar out of context? He did ponder it as a question, which looking at just that photo can be questioned.

    Another way, how would you respond if I asked the same quesiton?

    I think it was pretty obvious when you do the asian eyes thing you do it differently. Mainly with your indicator fingers stretching your eyes. I thought that it's pretty clear that Neymar is doing the clown "motion". But fair enough.

    As Plato said, "Please, bitch. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:"

    The defender didn't even know the attacker was in the same zip code. He was obviously trying to kick the ball away. There is a 0.00000% chance that he gets called for that as a foul at midfield. And the standard SHOULD NEVER, EVER be "there was contact." This is why soccer has more cheating than a swingers weekend in Las Vegas.

    As opposed to the Fox English that is.

    Comment on Rob Stone the lead English comm.

    “From the moment that Stone called Doha “Dosa” ahead of the opening match – between the capital of a small oil state on the Gulf and a fermented south Indian pancake, who’s really insisting on the distinction? – then promptly vanished from Fox’s coverage for the next three days, the US host English-language broadcaster of this World Cup has offered up a feast of gaffes, stupidity, and unconquerable on-air awkwardness for American viewers to enjoy.”

    The whiff ruffled his shorts maybe cuz I didn't see shit for contact. And certainly nothing that would warrant a PK.

    This is the contact. Wether it's worth a PK is definitely debatable. But I've seen soft plays like this being given.

    I want back several times to see how they could have given a PK. All I could see was a case for a free kick for the defender.

    Worst PK call ever and no sign of a VAR review.

    OK he clipped the bottom of his boot. Not PK worthy.

    Along with the Golden Boot they need to give out a Best Actor award.

    Could be, but it was Richarleson who clipped the bottom of the Koreans boot.

    I thought Ronaldo's PK was worse.

    What if its Ukraine, is it ok for there to be wholesale destruction there, or should we only care about things that happened 80 years ago in Poland?

    I've watched every game (replay, not live) on Tubi for free. There's 60s of ads at the beginning and another 90s at halftime. Replays show up pretty quickly after the final whistle. Check out tubitv.com

    Yes, 100% yes.
    That is exactly how games should be decided, especially Finals.

    What does this mean? It can be interpreted in multiple ways and I'd like to know which is appropriate.

    I agree with that regarding the Championship match. Golden goal, one additional sub per 15 minutes. Play until there's a goal.
