This is A Red Thing. Ian Rush stoked the flames. Michael Owen ignited excitement. Steven Gerrard cemented the deal. Klopp made everything legen.. wait for it..

@abosalaharena Yes, I like this suggestion.

But I also prefer to see a Swiss Round Robin of 48 teams. Then top 16 gets berthed into Round of 32, while the next 16 duke out for the rest of the placements.

[ARedThing @ARedThing1]

Bono just broke penalty kicks.

[ARedThing @ARedThing1]

@Corballyred Agreed. Could never understood the chase for Diomande. Is he better than Gakpo? I don't know, but I don't see Diomande scoring 20 goals a season like Salah either.

[ARedThing @ARedThing1]

@eddiegibbs We already have a young, tricky, winger that wins MOTM regularly.

[ARedThing @ARedThing1]

@Georg_Pazderski Probably nerves that cause d him to shift to his left, when originally he had 'perfect' vision while standing away and covering what his wall never covered.

[ARedThing @ARedThing1]

This is why I love Professor Arsene Wenger's proposal that as long as a body part of the attacking player is in 'touching' space of the defender, offside is never in play.

[Professor X @rationalhumanis]

Soccer offsides VAR is the most European thing ever. They LOVE enforcing rules stringently, even if it means completely ignoring the original intent of the rule.

Does this make the game fairer? Nope. Does it make it more fun? Actually, the opposite. But we must enforce ze rules!

[ARedThing @ARedThing1]

@jdoedoe101101 At least they don't go around starting wars and genocides -- except Israel.

[ARedThing @ARedThing1]

@rationalhumanis There's a reason richest country are judged per capita.

Perhaps it's time you judge American sports wealth via per capita lenses too.

[ARedThing @ARedThing1]

Guys I have a question. Why is Soccernet obssessed with the American national soccer team?

[ARedThing @ARedThing1]

@nokai Goalie caught flat footed -- but he was supposed to be 'on guard' from that angle, yet was left stranded.

[ARedThing @ARedThing1]

@hasyimmah Don't blame the players -- blame the game.

[ARedThing @ARedThing1]

The most unluckiest teams on the planet right now.

[ARedThing @ARedThing1]

@RyanRozbiani Colombia got the same treatment too when Sanchez thought that he'd score the winner. Both players' toes were in an offside position.

[ARedThing @ARedThing1]

@JohnWight1 Nopes, clearly offside.

[ARedThing @ARedThing1]

@JustinMacmahan It is what it is.

[ARedThing @ARedThing1]

@JamesSurowiecki It's not about the treatment Iranian team is getting.

It's about the treatment the other World Cup teams are getting.

[ARedThing @ARedThing1]

It makes sense now.

[ARedThing @ARedThing1]

Let's bring Swiss round robin to the world cup. All 48 teams in one giant league.

[ARedThing @ARedThing1]

Remember when your child had a medal for participating? These are your best 3rd place teams.

[ARedThing @ARedThing1]

@BouafifNour It's a macro tactic.
