World Cup: QF: Uruguay vs. France, 7/6/2018

[hatterson]

What a joke of an official.

You wonder why players crowd the ref.

 

[Stray Wasp]

A pretty squalid affair, that.

Be interesting to see whether Mbappe was smacked there, or whether he was putting it on. Both real time and the replay were inconclusive.

 

[East Coast Bias]

hard to see on that replay, it was too far out. did he flick Mbappe in the junk? or totally miss him?

 

[Evilo]

Sure, that or the theatrics.

Really?
No game is going to end then. He embellished and got a card for that? We're in for a loooooong game then.

May I remind you that all the thuging acts by Uruguay in this game have been met with 1 single card.

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

To me it looks like Mbappe pulled a Neymar there.

 

[koyvoo]

Bite, bite, bite, bite...

At the very least it was nearly Neymar level histrionics.

 

[IamNotADancer]

Pogba is the typical "all tools no tool box" player. He doesn't appear to be very bright.

 

[N o o d l e s]

I love the loosely used “thug” term

If he embellishes at this point in the game, he's also clearly time wasting. Nothing wrong with a yellow card for that.

 

[Power Man]

Lol flopping with a 2-0 lead

 

[Natey]

If I was ref, I would have given like 10 yellows there. Get out of my face.

 

[koyvoo]

Mfloppe?

I have to see it again

 

[Human]

So Mbappe is getting carded for.... a backheel???

Really? He’s getting carded for being a little bitch. Pogba should have been carded too. Balotelli is a smarter guy than Pogba.

 

[cgf]

No, I'm not. Just stating facts.

Fair enough, I just had to take a shot at Tabarez for the anti-football he reverted to once the games started to count after how proactively he let those kids play in their pre-tourney friendlies

Maybe. Uruguay have been teetering on edge all match and it'll probably get worse down two goals.

But you weren't nearly so understanding in the England/Colombia thread...

 

[Evilo]

Are you being serious???
THERE WAS A FOUL.
How is that time wasting then?

 

[Romang67]

Balotelli isn't a smarter guy than anyone.

 

[Evilo]

You mean when english players DOVE without being TOUCHED. (and laughed at Colombian players being called for foul).

See the difference? Hopefully?

 

[East Coast Bias]

Gonna have to send Muslera to Boston to get his head looked at. Just to be sure.

 

[Bon Esprit]

Karius’d

unlike karius he didnt get hit before.

 

[Human]

Balotelli isn't a smarter guy than anyone.

Obviously Pogba gives him a run for his money...

 

[Stray Wasp]

'There is fifteen minutes remaining', intones Sam Matterface- a professional journalist. Yikes.

 

[Eisen]

So Mbappe is getting carded for.... a backheel???

Probably for channelling his inner Neymar.

Are you saying you can't embellish to waste time after an actual foul?
