World Cup: Group E: Brazil vs. Switzerland, 6/17/2018

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

Man, with this result and Germany losing, today was a horrible betting day.

Germany also went out of their way to screw with everyone's brackets.

Yeah screw this. I'm not betting on the World Cup anymore

 

[McCoy]

What?

That's you poll quiz.

 

[Pouchkine]

Do you seriously believe that if the VAR sees a penalty shot or a foul that would negate a goal, the referee would just ignore it? Ffs.

Yes absolutely for sure, some referees have very big ego.

 

[Pouchkine]

You probably just should accept that there can be different opinions on that scene and that the VAR is only here for clear situations. And that more people probably won't share your opinion.

A penalty shout is a clear and important thing though, there was a pretty clear cut case for one there, there's some arguments against but at the very least go look at it because clearly the ref on the field couldn't see it correctly from his position.

That's you poll quiz.

Yes, it's me, poll quiz. Seriously, I don't understand.

VAR and their 33 screens and four professional referees have all the tools to judge if there's anything that ought to be changed. I don't need to look back at anything: they did. And one referee on the field and VAR decided that there was no penalty shot.
Stop. Crying. About. It.

 

[Pouchkine]

You don't understand how it works that's the problem.

I don't care at all about Brazil in fact I hope they go out early, I'm just telling you how some referees think.

Yeah, VAR and quantum physics, both around the same level of difficulty...

 

[Pouchkine]

"I saw it perfectly I don't need replays" be sure some referees are telling VAR just this.

 

[koyvoo]

Yes, it's me, poll quiz. Seriously, I don't understand.

I miss your old username poll quiz.

 

[BruinLVGA]

I miss your old username poll quiz.

I only use it when I fly my old UFO.

Gut gesagt der Junge.

All right in mind in the whole of the World Cup. What advantages does Switzerland have with their origin in the hockey championship with the other silver medal of six champions of recent years.

 

[John Pedro]

Holy smokes. Just no. That was a good goal. VAR for that? What is this?

VAR is for clear and ridiculous misses. Like handballs, elbows to faces, offsides, etc.

If we're going to use VAR on a small shove like that, then every single corner and free kick near the box is going to have multiple fouls.

On that play, two Brazil players were touching Swiss players with hands and elbows... does Switzerland get a penalty kick?

That was a good goal.

sorry but that would be a infraction even in american football. Can't shove a defender from behind to keep him from playing the ball.

 

[Hadoop]

Watched this match with 3 Brazilian friends. Needless to say I think my decision to take the group photo at halftime was a good one

He barely shoved him, haha. And what play? Miranda didn't even jump for the ball.

I don't like to spend time discusing/complaining about refs, bu barely? lol

 

[Natey]

Lol it's in slow motion, yes it was common soccer contact, and rewatch from the start - Miranda contracted him first. Get the VAR out. Penalty shot. Same score.

How's it a hard push? His arms barely extend anymore than they already were.

 

[John Pedro]

If you think so, okay. I disagree, but whatever... team didn't play well and didn't deserve to win, anyway.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Is it wrong that I wanted to see Neymar fouled several more times in the match and wearing cleat prints like Tattoo's?

Is there a player in the game now that goes down and gets injured as often?

Its a World Cup, they killed Kenny, is this a meme?

Over/under him making it through the tournament.

Reminds me of Johnny Gaudreau. Always crying for calls.

I think he tapped out 7 times today. I thought ambulances would be out on the pitch any moment.


OK, I got that off my chest.

Favorite comment in the telecast;

"These ain't friendlies anymore Neymar"

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

Germany lose 1-0. Last two games are South Korea and Sweden.

They'll still make it in, but Mexico should be topping the group mor, which throws off a lot of predictions.

I laughed. A lot. At work.

Me too. I had to share it, too good not to.

 

[Corto]

I will say, in all the talk about Brazil, lets not forget this Swiss team played a very good much.
Maybe limited in attacking flair and talent, but they're very disciplined , very compact, and they'll be hard to beat for any (top) team.
