Or you.... just saying...

Oh wow, that hurt...

Coming from a blind homer that defends Mbappe’s huge flop...

Argentina,Brazil,Colombia,Paraguay,Uruguay it's crazy hiw these countries becomes dirty when result isn't in their favour

I said it before, I'll say it again. Those new/modern soccer balls are a ***** to catch.

If you hit them just right they act like balloons changing directions in a split second. Completely unpredictable. It looked bad but if you look close you see how Muslera went one direction and then the ball just blew straight in the other direction as if deflected.
Wasn't much he could do yet he looks like an ass and commentators and fans around the world are laughing at him. Feel bad for this guy.

The two angles I've seen don't suggest the ball moved much.

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

See the difference? Hopefully?

Calm down. Easy win for France. That s all that matter. Don't you think?

First of all, that contact was laughable. Far as I'm concerned that's either an Mbappe dive or an embellishment at a level where the distinction is irrelevant.

Second, Colombia was every bit as dirty as Uruguay. I realize whining about England is nearly sport for some people, but have the slightest bit of perspective. And the only guy that dove without contact was Trippier. You were off it all match.

Really don't feel like going down this rabbit hole with you though, so whatever.

Muslera's mistake reminds me of ...

 

[Evilo]

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

I'm saying you can't card someone for being on the ground after a foul. And certainly not as much as the guy who ACTUALLY fouled.

It's amazing all those new HF football fans, or rather soccer, who have zero understanding of how a ref should crack down on fouling rather than embellishing and who can't see the difference between a dive and an embellishment.

Fine header by Varane under pressure. I hope he hasn't knackered himself making it.

 

[Evilo]

See above post.
It's crazy to think people put embellishments at the level of actual fouling. It's been that way all WC too.

OK, sure

Tripper only? Not only did he dive, but he also laughed at the opponent for being called for a foul.
And Maguire? He also dove in the box without ever being touched.

So again, you're mixing diving without contact and rolling on the ground after contact.

 

[Eisen]

unlike karius he didnt get hit before.

Yeah. It was more like this.

You can totally card someone for such a massive obvious flop. The only argument you have is that the refs should do it more often. It’s getting out of hand with all this embellishment.

They always play with sandpaper. It's in their footy philosophy.

Or people just don't agree with you. Rather than claiming lack of understanding, you might want to consider that.

Either way, I'm not wasting my time on someone who flies to the "people who disagree with me lacks understanding" defense three comments into a discussion.

I understand, but why don't you just enjoy to advance.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Muslera will be on a plane to Boston to check for a concussion. Just a game killing error....it is hard to believe a professional keeper would find a way to turn that into their own net

 

[Stray Wasp]

OK, sure

Nor has a third angle changed my mind.

 

[Evilo]

Hehe, I do !
Game's not over though.

 

[Eisen]

The way Uruguay is playing it might as well be. That second goal came at the worst possible time for them.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Center holds it! Holds it! HOOOLDS IT!

France just playing keepaway now.

 

[Bon Esprit]

Yeah. It was more like this.

Cottbus. yeah I remember. That was gold. LOL

I'm not mixing anything. I pretty well covered it in that bit that you snipped.

You're right about Maguire.
