World Cup: Group H: Colombia vs. Japan, 6/19/2018

Have to admire Colombia's traveling support.

 

[Chloraflora]

The Colombian diving is really tiresome.

Lmfao nevermind

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Sneaky..

Edit: Well, the japanese GK just failed hard..

 

[hatterson]

Like, yeah. They changed the rule so that last man tackles that become penalties aren't reds anymore - handball blocking a goal is still stonewall.

To add/clarify on this. It should only be "reduced" to a yellow if the tackle was an attempt to win the ball. Jones on Hazard in the FA cup final was one like that. Clearly last man back, but his tackle was an attempt to win the ball so it was only a yellow. If instead he had just reached out with his hands and literally tackled him, it still should have been a red as it wasn't an attempt to get the ball.

 

[Eisen]

It shouldn't have been a free kick. Damn shame

 

[hatterson]

Just in, but that made it across.

 

[Halladay]

Clear goal.

 

[N o o d l e s]

Just like that

 

[jc17]

Lame that they scored after such a weak call

 

[Make]

Nice kick, but the free kick looked like a complete gift by the ref.

 

[Burner Account]

Awarding that free kick was brutal.

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

The commentator just sang "Ole Ole Ole" after Colombia scored..I mean I'm sorry but I wasn't aware I'm watching the English language broadcast of Colombian state television.

 

[Make]

Kind of looked like the ref was feeling the heat to call a free kick after some 50-50 calls weren't made for Colombia
's way. Too bad it was from a great spot.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

I love goal-line tech.

Are you watching fox sports? I think the guy has been equally excited for each team. Although its funny, it almost seems like he doesn't know much about soccer.

Osako has looked awful when he’s been on the ball. Bring on Okazaki start of next half. South American diving really is next level

Well, the more you know

Edit: this commentator is brutal

 

[Bakayoko Ono]

Japan has done nothing offensively after their goal. Not a great sign considering they have the man-advantage.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

If I hadn't seen it happen, I'd have no idea that there was a red card.

One minute of stoppage time was too little.

 

[Burner Account]

Between that free kick and the stoppage time, I question these officials.

Unfortunately I am watching FS1. And I feel like they're using him as the "Latin America" commentator, i.e. using him only in matches where they figure a big % of viewers is Hispanic, so it seems like his commentary is also slanted toward those teams.

 

[Eisen]

German telly is interviewing the great El Loco!!!

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Fourth free kick of the tournament already. 2014 had three in total.

No need to, COL will get tired soon enough with a man down. Plus, JPN teams are super fit.
