World Cup: 2018 WC Qualifiers Part II

[Evilo]

I give you:

No kidding
How can a ref call that?

 

[tony d]

First World Cup since 1958 that'll be held without Italy as part of it. Some good nations dnq this year such as the USA, Cameroon, Netherlands and now Italy.

What Italy/Australia?
Is that what you're talking about?

First, I didn't talk about the final, I talked about Italy cheating their way out of Australia. That's a fact. Maybe they would have won in OT, maybe not. Tough to say.
As for the final, i'll repeat the game was tight and clearly no team was better than the other. 10 player shot a penalty, 9 scored, one hit the post (and probably the best shooter on the pitch in fact). That's life. but to say the better team won is laughable. At no moment in the game did Italy dominate the match.

Cheating their way...playing 40 mins short a man in that particular match and giving only 2 goals up the entire tournament, an own goal and a penalty. Buy yes, we cheated

 

[Evilo]

What is it you don't understand?
Italy cheated on a dive to get a ridiculous penalty against Australia in the dying moments of the game.
Didn't say you didn't deserve to beat the rest.

you don't try a tackle in that situation sorry, i've seen worst things on a pitch. Try to get over it!

 

[Cloned]

Italy's comeuppance for not including Giovinco on the side.

Of course I've seen worse. Doesn't make it a good call. It was a beyond terrible call that eliminated Australia. Italian player dived, got what he wanted, which was to cheat the ref. I'm sure you felt good about it.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Keep the good company
That's not 2 handballs back two back. That's a handball, period.
It didn't alter the winner and loser, it altered a draw.

So tell me it's worse than Holland/Spain WC final?
Or Sevilla 82 WC semi?
Or 90 WC final?
Heck, or even Denmark/Brazil in 02?
Italy/Australia in 06?

But, SURE that PLAYOFF handball in a tied game was CLEARLY the worst call ever

Yeah, there definitely was 2 handballs... he accidentally hit with his hand then he controlled with his hand.

Who said anything about CLEARLY anything. I said probably the worst I call I ever seen. As usually you are unable to understand what I wrote or totally disregard what I said can make up shit as you go. We are all really impressed with those laughing emoticons.

Wait how could I forget... for an argentinian supporter...

How does that Henry handball beat Maradona's hand of god? Seriously?

Henry was more evident plus 2 vs 1. Maradona was a terrible call as well. Just in case you want to make up any biased opinions.

I actually like Henry and couldn't care less about the France nor Ireland.

 

[YNWA14]

Well you are talking about a game in which Holland should have had at least 2 red cards...Give those and the Robben play probably doesn't happen.

But believe me as a referee I just can't defend the embarassing game that Webb had that day, just a total disgrace. And the Puyol play is another one of the major major undefendable mistake he made, well mistake= coward.

I don't disagree. Doesn't change how upset I was at how it went down. The other calls were maybe accumulation or calls that were just because the game was getting out of control. The Puyol non-call was a play that directly affected a goal scoring chance. I think Webb had a bad game but I also don't think it was made easy with a lot of the diving by the Spaniards either and how every time anything happened both teams were constantly surrounding him. It was a circus game.

Anyone thinking Denmark could win it convincingly today?

Yes. I actually really like Denmark's team.

Anyone thinking Denmark could win it convincingly today?

They have the players to, but they probably won't. Ireland are too solid defensively to lose a blowout unless playing a world class team.

 

[S E P H]

I like Italia, but LOL at them. Geez they need to produce some more offencive pieces, their goals ran drain, but it's not like Sweden will go far either.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Dier-Livermore central midfield pairing. This team desperately needs Winks.

 

[Live in the Now]

Schmeichel with a major error and Ireland scores.

 

[QuietContrarian]

bye bye Denmark.. already lost after 4 mins

 

[Live in the Now]

Randolph being forced to make many good saves here.

Randolph being forced to make many good saves here.

He is winning this for Ireland so far

 

[QuietContrarian]

Really poor form by Christensen so far

 

[East Coast Bias]

bye bye Denmark.. already lost after 4 mins

Dramatic much?

They're through on an away goal. This isn't close to over.

 

[Live in the Now]

Ireland now somehow playing out of the back and can't put it in the net.

 

[QuietContrarian]

Dramatic much?

They're through on an away goal. This isn't close to over.

Lol, if you know Denmark..

You know its over.. Ireland have even more reason to Defend hard now.. Ill put money on Ireland going thru..

 

[Live in the Now]

Pione Sisto. Good player.

 

[QuietContrarian]

Lol, if you know Denmark..

You know its over.. Ireland have even more reason to Defend hard now.. Ill put money on Ireland going thru..

One of times I love being wrong..

Even from off form Christensen

 

[Cassano]

Holberg dropped or injured?

 

[Havre]

Well deserved. Got nothing against Ireland, but Denmark are just a much better team. Really hope they go through.

 

[Live in the Now]

Irish players...messing around with the ball. Don't have the quality to do that.
