World Cup: R16: Sweden vs. Switzerland, 7/3/2018

[Paulie Gualtieri]

We aren't scoring any more goals without Forsberg.

 

[Prntscrn]

Stop it Olsson

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

f***ing Behrami.

 

[Natey]

Sweden's diving today is disgusting. I always liked them, but after the last two games I'm officially against them.

 

[Prntscrn]

Survive

Subbing off Forsberg seems silly - I get wanting to bolster your defense for the last ten, but they're not creating in extra time without him.

A lot less options without him. Never liked the hedgehog tactic.

It's pathetic, but at least they're not faking injury. FIFA wants their players to dive or don't care, there's no other way around it. And the players gain benefits from never being penalized and can always hope for a freekick/ penalty.

Not quite Neymar levels lol

 

[bolt thrower]

Hopefully both teams will be gone soon, they suck.

They wouldn't create anything in extra time with him anyways.

Swedens only hope always was to prey for a fluke goal and hold on or go to penalties.

Forsberg helped them get their fluke now they just have to pray they can hold on. And with the way Switzerland is giving the game away it looks like they will.

 

[Eisen]

Nice save by Olsen.

 

[TP]

Wow.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Something something Latin countries diving something something

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

LOL

 

[Eisen]

How slow was that?

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Taken down on breakaway

Has to be a penalty kick , right?

 

[NyQuil]

My initial impression of that is that he milked that.

And I'm right. The foul is outside of the box and the diving happened inside the box.

Well, it's irrelevant anyway.

 

[hatterson]

By rule, that's a red card.

 

[Prntscrn]

That's a red but not a PK

 

[Eisen]

No penalty. Has to be free kick.

 

[TP]

Unreal. Emergency broadcast system test ARE YOU KIDDIN GME

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

That was some fantastic build-up.

 

[mouser]

Penalty, but not in the box

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Looked like he just lost his footing to me.
