I’m sorry but this is completely and utterly against the spirit of the game. The player gained absolutely no advantage here.
@TheIFAB can’t rewrite the offside rule fast enough to take into consideration the Wenger Law.
I mean come on, his toenail is offside.
They kill 160 young schoolgirls without a second thought… and we thought they would let succeed at football INSIDE the USA?
Ha!
The murderous terrorist criminal hegemonic regime ain’t about to start being FAIR.
Esse papo de que a Noruega vai poupar Haaland e Odegaard hoje contra a França é inacreditável.
Os caras aceitaram a derrota antes mesmo de jogarem, pô. Sendo que vale a liderança do grupo.
La verdad que bueno que perdió Noruega por goleada.
4 años esperando el Mundial para ver a los mejores de cada país, y el entrenador decide cambiar a TODOS los jugadores, arruinando el partido.
Imaginate las personas que pagaron miles de dólares para ver el partido.
Ojalá que pierdan contra Costa de Marfil en dieciseisavos.
🎙️| Zlatan Ibrahimović on Norway Resting Haaland vs. France:
"Norway have a chance to top the group and get easier knockout opponents, yet they're scared before the game. That's not the mentality you need when you play for your country at the World Cup."😬
O maior covarde da Copa do Mundo. Preferiu poupar o time todo a brigar pela liderança do grupo.
Que sofra uma goleada histórica hoje e seja eliminado pela Costa do Marfim.
What Norway is doing, is absolutely ridiculous. It’s disrespectful to football around the world. They can keep underestimating Africa. They’re going to get knocked out by Ivory Coast so badly and I’ll be there to witness it.
A Noruega tinha a chance de escrever uma das grandes histórias dessa Copa do Mundo, pois poderiam ganhar da França hoje, e passar em primeiro lugar do seu grupo (e com o bônus de ter um caminho teoricamente mais fácil no mata-mata).
Ao invés disso, o técnico Stale Solbakken, preferiu ir para esse jogo com o time todo reserva (exceção do Aursnes), alegando descansar os seus os seus titulares para próxima fase.
Resultado disso? Derrota categórica diante da França, e agora, pegarão Costa do Marfim e Brasil na sequência do mata-mata.
A Copa do Mundo é uma competição que jamais premiará a covardia.
Jamie Carragher on Norway resting Erling Haaland against France:
🗣️ “I cannot believe this decision. You're at a World Cup with the chance to finish top of your group, and your manager is already thinking about the next round. That's not the mentality of a team that believes it can win something.”
“This isn't on Haaland. Every top player wants to play the biggest games. This is entirely on the manager. If you're protecting your best player from France, what message are you sending to the rest of the dressing room?”
“You don't build winning teams by avoiding the biggest challenge. You build them by embracing it. Beat France, finish top of the group, and let everyone know you're serious. Instead, Norway have chosen caution over courage.”
“If I was a Norway player, I'd be asking one question: does the manager actually believe we can beat France? Because resting your biggest star before a game of this magnitude suggests he already knows the answer.”
“World Cups are about creating history, not protecting legs. Fans travel across the world to watch the biggest stars play in the biggest matches, and instead they're being told to wait for the knockout rounds.”
“If Norway lose this game after resting Haaland, the criticism will be deserved. Managers are remembered for brave decisions, not safe ones. This feels like fear dressed up as tactical planning.”
