GWT: World Cup - Third Place Game - Croatia v. Morocco

[Jersey Fresh]

I can't help but feel this ref is a favor to the host. Like what possible reason could there be to think this guy isn't good enough to ref more than one game three weeks ago and then stick him in the third place match? Makes no sense.

 

[luiginb]

Neither were penalties, but Morocco should have gotten a free kick in a prime spot.

Check the replay from behind the players, that's the one that's obvious.

 

[Jussi]

And you by completely bringing up something about "others", never about your own side.

We Finns don't like to talk about our colonialist endeavors.

Didn't see you mentioning all the deaths France has historically caused in the middle east, either.

but this conversation is stupid. One is related to the World Cup, one isn't

Crowding referees does my head in. He’s not going to change his mind, get on with it.

 

[HajdukSplit]

Ref losing control

Ref's weak, he should have shown a couple of cards already.

 

[Savi]

Ref losing control

He had control?

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Kovacic, come on guy.

That's missed Crowding dissent (caution) early comes back to haunt..

Really? I'm probably the one who's talked the most about our disastrous colonial past WITHOUT blaming other countries for their actions.
Hilarious really.

As for the second sentence, it's good to know you'll boycott the next one and explain at length about the reasons, as well as the bribes, etc...

 

[luiginb]

That Petkovic guy moves around like he's carrying a particularly heavy backpack.

 

[kovacro]

I don’t care that Petkovic scored the goal against Brazil, if I never see him in the NT again, I’ll be perfectly fine with it.

 

[ScottishCanuck]

Colonialism, eh?

I didn't see you talk once about Napoleon or the Crusades when discussing the Middle East. Hilarious really.

I won't boycott the next one because I clearly didn't boycott this one and the next one didn't even require slave labor to build it. But I'm glad you're going to boycott Ligue 1. After all, France's colonial history in Africa, the Americas, and SE Asia together with its boondoggles throughout history in the Middle East must make anything French unwatchable for you.

If not, then let's focus on football. Someone told me that's what we should talk about here. I believe the name is Evil'hypocrite

 

[Tryamw]

Close for Morocco at 90+6'

 

[kovacro]

That was too close for my liking.

 

[Jussi]

Congrats for the bronze medals, Croatia!

 

[Tryamw]

And game.. Better side won today.

 

[Evilo]

But I didn't boycott anything NOR did I whine about Qatar, contrary to others here.
That seems to escape you. I blame hypocritical people who try to give lessons while not considering their own country.
I've many times on this board talked about France's past, and never tried to diminish their responsability.

We know who the hypocrite is. Or are.

 

[kovacro]

Yessss!!!!! Well done boys.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Morocco obviously had a good tournament, but clearly ran out of the steam because they had no business being in this game. Croatia the much better side, congrats to them on a good third-place finish.

 

[Blender]

Really good game. Congratulations to Croatia.
