CL Round of 8

What are the draws looking like ?

 

[Evilo]

The Madrid rules at least.

 

[hatterson]

From what i saw, Douglas Costa abused Marcelo.

Yea Costa was great, especially in the first half. Marcelo was alright going forward, but was heavily exposed in his own half.

Honestly every time I see Costa he's ripping defenses to shreds.

 

[Deficient Mode]

Yep. Except for the Isco offside goal where he was onside.

That foul was even worse than the VVD one argued earlier this season. Not only does he swing his leg and miss but he pushes the player full speed too.

Isco may have been an inch offsides but that's up to the linesman anyway. I do think the calls slightly favored Juve this game.

And Buffon's red was clearly deserved, pushed against the ref multiple times and continued to yell in his face.

It seemed to me that everyone was getting jostled around but oh well. Give him a yellow then.

It's not hard contact, and maybe on a corner or at the edge of the box you let it go, but when a guy is standing 5 feet from goal with nothing in front of him, you can't push him in the back.

But that shouldn't matter. If you let it go 99% of the time, calling soft contact a penalty is idiotic. I dunno, I guess I'm okay with a little more physicality in soccer than people here.

We will know on Friday. 7am EST if I remember right. Hoping for Real vs Liverpool and Bayern vs Roma

 

[Burner Account]

Lololol like this is proof of anything?

God you better not ever complain about a ref's decision - in hockey or soccer - for the rest of your posting history or I am going to call you out on this.

I don't know if I can go on looking over my shoulder like that.

It's just hilarious your appeal to a faux authority.

Sure, it was given as a penalty. That doesn't make it proper. Just like Sane's goal yesterday should have counted.

Thanks.

Please go learn the rules. Just the push in the back is already enough for the clear penalty.

Draw isn't until Friday. First time since 2010 that all teams are from four different countries.

 

[Luigi Habs]

Juve complaining about the reffing because they can’t buy them like in Serie A.

So original thanks for the laugh

 

[Nurmagomedov]

In that moment, either call was going to be controversial. In the end i think it was a good call. Clear scoring opportunity, contact from behind, didn't get the ball.

 

[Evilo]

But that shouldn't matter. If you let it go 99% of the time, calling soft contact a penalty is idiotic. I dunno, I guess I'm okay with a little more physicality in soccer than people here.

Or fairness.
If a ref doesn't call that for one team he can't call that for the other at the 94th.
No soft penalty calls in the 94th. That's quite obvious. Benatia bumps into Vasquez, something players do in the box a hundred times a game without anything being called.

Contrary to many here, I feel like the ref buckled under the pressure from the stadium/players/officials. Real is used to get all the 50/50 calls, especially when they're in trouble.

 

[Cassano]

It was a pen. It took major balls for Oliver to call that. But it was a pen at the end of the day.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Which facts? The leg never touched Vazquez. There was some soft contact in the back and Vazquez tumbling over.

Tumbling hehe, it is f***ing Lucas Vazquez we're talking here. One of the biggest POS in the Spanish league. Hate that motherf***er more than I hated ADM and I thought I couldn't

Soft penalty? Not according to the rules it's 100% penalty.

 

[hatterson]

Yelling in his face would have been a yellow. Pushing him is where it becomes a red. It wasn't one accidental bump, he repeatedly pushed into him.

Context matters. It wasn't a hard foul, but it was contact and it took away what was almost a sure goal.

 

[Evilo]

It was a pen. It took major balls for Oliver to call that. But it was a pen at the end of the day.

Would have taken much more balls to deny it in front of Bernabeu.

 

[Pouchkine]

The referee had a fantastic game overall and capped it off with a great call at the end.

 

[Luigi Habs]

Penalty or not. The question is why did the ref allow the play for 11 more seconds after additional time were already done?

 

[Pouchkine]

Would have taken much more balls to deny it in front of Bernabeu.

Would have been wrong also. He denied probably 5-6 dives in the box already during the game, this one was a clear foul though.

 

[Evilo]

Because a good ref doesn't stop an offensive play. I have zero problem with that (nor the Buffon red BTW).

 

[Pouchkine]

Because of the Buffon mess, the substitution and all the crap...

 

[bluesfan94]

Soft penalty? Not according to the rules it's 100% penalty.

your posts are boring because you just say the same thing over and over without any semblance of critical thought
