@FazeTooo @usmntonly So if you want to have this debate, I’m game broseph. All day.

[PhillyFootballz @PhillyFootballz]

@FazeTooo @usmntonly Don’t NOT get touched, act like you were touched, then hold your knee when the (ghost) touch was near the (other) ankle. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Stop it. Just fucking stop it. 🛑

It helps nobody but the morally bankrupt and ruthless. It entertains nobody but a relatively small fan group.

[PhillyFootballz @PhillyFootballz]

@FazeTooo @usmntonly Yeah, sorry bro, but the game will be better off without all that sissy shit.

Stay on the ground fixing socks to get your breath back or waste time in the corner?

Bet. All good here. 👍🏻

[PhillyFootballz @PhillyFootballz]

@FazeTooo @usmntonly At least, it does in men and women that care about their sports’ authenticity being tended to.

You enjoy watching men fall on purpose, do ya?

Rolling fervently around for nothing but the attention of ☝🏻 man, while THE WORLD watches…with (how many?) cameras?

[PhillyFootballz @PhillyFootballz]

@FazeTooo @usmntonly …would ever agree with you.

Seeing the World Cup has been refreshing. Seeing the flopping and faking and “the dark arts” being called out for what they are.

UN-entertaining bullshit.

It’s worse than that, though, bc it’s pathetic. So it causes disgust.

[PhillyFootballz @PhillyFootballz]

@FazeTooo @usmntonly Bc that matters…

It just does.

Nobody that hasn’t been conditioned to watch grown men writhing on the ground after watching their 14 yo daughter play the same game (at a very competitive level) and have never seen ONE OF THOSE LITTLE GIRLS be as “sissy” as those grown ass men.

[PhillyFootballz @PhillyFootballz]

@FazeTooo @usmntonly Are you from Europe?

[PhillyFootballz @PhillyFootballz]

I would say that for FIFA and U.S. Soccer, they have gotten close to achieving the vibe they wanted.

Now it hinges on one thing, and ☝🏻 thing only.

How far will they go?

If they even make it a helluva game, I would say it’s gravy.

If they win?

Nirvana.

[PhillyFootballz @PhillyFootballz]

It’s what I have been saying for years. I hate that we don’t get it, but it is consistent with the rest.

I’m forcing myself to be ok with it.

[PhillyFootballz @PhillyFootballz]

@simongerman600 Crazy how something that feels so obvious after seeing it wasn’t recognized as “a thing” until now.

Same kinda thing with the high jump back in the day.

One person CAN change the world!

The Bono is a pretty good name for it too

[PhillyFootballz @PhillyFootballz]

@herculezg The players spend so damn much time thinking about taking a penalty/foul in nearly any game situation at anywhere on the pitch whether they are about to create a chance or not.

When “the dark arts” become “the arts”?

I’d say it’s a fuggin problem.

[PhillyFootballz @PhillyFootballz]

@herculezg They have MAGA-mind. Blinded by bias. Seriously…

I’ve been saying thank you to fifa this whole tournament. It’s made me feel icky but I gotta be honest. I love it!

I was a bit worried about Americans seeing euro style refereeing 😬, which has normalized all this lunacy.

[PhillyFootballz @PhillyFootballz]

@Footballtweet He did dive. ❄️ “Touch”

Keep gave plenty of room for the sitchu, and Kane was obvi “playing for the pen”, just like everyone else in big 5.

Y’all enjoy the dark art BS? 🤢🤮

🇺🇸 won’t take that 💩. This WC is FIFA’s golden goose for U.S. 👀.

I say #droptheflop

[PhillyFootballz @PhillyFootballz]

FIFA is telling international football what I have been bitching about for years.

“Stop the damn flopping and related nonsense!

Stop looking for a damn foul/penalty every time you’re on the ball. They don’t even have to be past minute 5, so it’s not being tired.

LetEmPlayWC

[PhillyFootballz @PhillyFootballz]

Makes a lot of sense once you think about it. If they are mostly guessing anyway, might as well cover half the goal at a time.

It’s crazy how something so simple can go for so long without someone trying what now feels kinda obvious.

Selon plusieurs analystes sportifs, Bono pourrait bien avoir révolutionné la manière de défendre lors des séances de tirs au but. Contrairement à la technique classique qui consiste à rester au centre de la cage avant de plonger, il a, à plusieurs reprises — notamment face au Nigeria et aux Pays-Bas — adopté un déplacement et un positionnement debout.
Cette posture lui permet de couvrir près de la moitié du but à lui seul : il peut arrêter un tir à ras de terre avec ses pieds tout en conservant la possibilité d'intervenir sur un tir en hauteur avec ses mains, sans avoir à se coucher prématurément.
Si cette technique venait à être adoptée par d'autres gardiens, espérons qu'elle sera un jour baptisée « le Bono », à l'image de la célèbre Panenka, nommée d'après son inventeur.

[PhillyFootballz @PhillyFootballz]

I want to thank the referees in the World Cup. I knew that if they allowed all the stuff in the premier league that gets penalties then many Americans wouldn’t appreciate the games as much.

Sorry Harry. No pen if I was ref

If the rule says THAT is a pen?

Change it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[PhillyFootballz @PhillyFootballz]

I’m a purist (asshole) in athletics.

Win fair n square, or get better.

Pure

To me? To trick a ref is cheating. Lying.

Kids see idols lying/acting (looking ridiculous btw 🤦🏻‍♂️) and society pays.

Culture cancer. (b-ball 👀🤷🏻‍♂️😉)

@FIFAWorldCup 👏🏻🙌🏻

[PhillyFootballz @PhillyFootballz]

@herculezg And the majority of football fans still can’t wait for him to be out of the game so they don’t have to continue seeing another famous ego acting like a petulant child.

Portuguese players happy for him? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Or happy they don’t have to hear more whining from their “leader”.

#wc

[PhillyFootballz @PhillyFootballz]

@appiecule In my experience, like, personally?

It usually means he has amazing potential, but a mental/psychological block interferes right when he is about to “succeed”.

It’s the invisible hand that changes course 1 degree, but fucks it all up in the process.

If that makes sense.
