Match #62 - NED : ARG - ÇAKIR (TUR)

Didn't the shot miss?

 

Very inspiring sub from Eriksson.

 

no yellow for aguero?

 

No caution to Aguerro for interfering with the GK?

 

Now Brazil gets to complain. Silva was worse on gk, but same idea. No caution for Argentine.

 

Ah did it? This is why I am not the AR!

 

It's difficult to have tournament-wide consistency when you change the rules...

 

How was that a Corner ?


Either a freekick or goal kick surely.

 

Was that even called offside, looking at the replay, I don't think the referee put his flag up.

 

AR signaled goal kick.

 

I really like Cakir´s foul identification. I really like that the ARs are getting most offsides right.
But his failure to show the mandatory and neccessary YCs (and then give the Dutch leftback one for practically nothing in the first half) is astounding, even at this world cup. Even worse than the first 40 minutes of BRA-MEX when I saw 3 YCs and he had none.

 

Kuyt tackle there was interesting. Quite hard.

 

Or for being known to go to the ground on every foul?

 

If he goes down he gets the call and a 20 yard free kick. Hard to blame the players for going down "easily".

 

It would have made more sense for him to not get the call if had gone down.

 

One minute????

Zabaleta was down for 3

 

tired players

 

Overall, Cakir has been great. Yes, we can nit pick--as we can with each performance, but he nailed all CMIs, he actually displayed a card or two on tactical fouls (one was a PI/Tactical combo), and each team got a fair shake. Very well done.
