The Beautiful Game (The All Inclusive Soccer Thread)

Congrats, yanks. You're getting ass blasted next round.

FIFA’s aware stadiums will be half empty if they’re eliminated. The matches are on in the middle of the night in Europe. We’ll get to the elite eight.

I played soccer for thirteen years as a kid and my dad (now age 84) was at most, maybe nearly all, of my games. He's also been watching the World Cup all month. Pretty much anything that's aired on FOX after 7pm, he's watched it.

I'm watching Portugal v Croatia with him, and he just asked me "if they catch it with their hands, they have to drop it right away, right?"

[E.H. Ruddock]

Holy shit Croatia!

[E.H. Ruddock]

Oh man. That sucks

[daft twat]

What a load of shit! Fuck this tournament! It’s one bullshit cal after another. Just let France and Argentina play and be done with it.

[spike]

Oh man. That sucks

[daft twat]

Senegal and Croatia going home for ratings. Fuck fifa.

Australia/Egypt starts at 4am tomorrow morning here. The premier announced that pubs can stay open all night tonight to accommodate. What could go wrong?

Super weird Stuff in the Portugal - Croacia game. That last goal was not offside. The whole chip in the ball is such bullshit.

FIFA killing the game

[E.H. Ruddock]

Portugal will get housed by Spain, and Ronaldo sucks now. That stadium was half empty. Not sure why they think Portugal for one more round will be some great thing for the WC. Also, have they ever shown proof of this microchip in the ball? Or is it something they made up to be able to affect calls?

[VinylGuy]

the microchip is bullshit...the whole idea of offside was to prevent someone to take advantage of their position, how the fuck does that apply in most of these offisides now?

[96583UP]

they gotta revise the offsides rule to something less extreme. it should be that if your torso is mostly equivalent with the defender then you are still onsides. the first CR7 goal that was called back was BS.

and the nonsense with the ball being touched by croatia due to a computer chip is woefully against the spirit of the game

[96583UP]

I’m still not sure why they gave a card to a player for whispering into another player’s ear but I watch the games on a channel that broadcasts in a language I don’t understand so that’s on me.

players had started covering their mouths in order to say racist things

soccer world decided if you cover your mouth at all then it's a red card

it's the right move

[96583UP]

LOL

Pepi time

[wease]

Is that a real mustache?

[washing machine]

I forget where ello lands on penalties but here we go!

[96583UP]

gotta be a special psychological support group for people who miss their WC shootout PK high over the goal
