En lo que va del Mundial el VAR no intervenía en jugadas de apreciación. Sin embargo, ahora sí interviene para sancionar un tiro penal por una entrada imprudente en favor de Argentina.
La decisión final es correcta y la intervención del VAR está bien aplicada, pero el criterio no ha sido el mismo en todos los partidos. En otras acciones similares con otras selecciones, se respetó la apreciación del árbitro en cancha.
Everybody at Manchester United is encouraged by Denmark’s update on Christian Eriksen following today’s abandoned friendly against Ukraine.
The club is sending strength and love to Christian and the Eriksen family as we await further news.
@TheAthleticFC What the fuck is this trolling shit? I actually pay to subscribe to the Athletic - only for you to produce content with all he maturity of a 15-year-old furiously masturbating to a Littlewoods catalogue swimsuit page
Bruno Fernandes leads Dominik Szoboszlai in Goals (6-4), Assists (12-2), Chances Created (78-44), Big Chances Created (18-5) & Player Rating (7.98-7.40, 7.56-7.15, 7.42-7.07).. & in 167 less minutes.
Stop overrating wonder goals & confusing them with genuine, season long impact.
🚨I know we won 2–0, but I’ll be honest:
— We hit the woodwork twice
— Donnarumma pulled off absolute worldies, Bro made 3 high expected-goal saves.
— 3 goals disallowed for offside
This should have been a biblical belting, we could have scored SEVEN goals against Manchester City today. beautiful attacking performance
but...
While our attacking performance deserves a lot of credit, we also need to highlight how we conceded zero shots on target against a City side with Haaland, Foden, Cherki, Semenyo and Doku.
Calmly read that again... ZERO SHOTS ON TARGET against one of the top three attacking forces in football over the last five years.
The way Carrick set us up defensively out of possession was super fantastic. We had only one clean sheet in 23 games before today and this was arguably our best defensive performance of the season.
When someone asks you what Manchester United’s “DNA” is, tell them to watch that game back. That’s your answer right there. It isn’t something you can easily describe, you just know it when you see it. #MUFC
Every soft spoken left liberal who was celebrating this Jamaat e Islami sponsored "student power" and wishing a "Dhaka model" of democracy on the streets of New Delhi should be made to sit and shown this footage on a loop for undefined number of hours for their intellectual dishonesty and naked support of talibanisation, no matter how sugar-coated their words were sounding to start with.
I have no idea what happened in Kolkata in the Messi event. But I couldn't help thinking that we Indians really do not like sport. We like stars.
What else could explain the millions, and I mean millions of dollars we spend to fly in superstars, when they will not even play a proper match.
I am ok with paying whatever it takes to bring in a top football team to play in India, like Messi did in 2011 or Tata Steel did for a long time in the 80s and 90s.
But getting them to come here just to shake hands and pose for pictures defies all reason. They will sell real estate, take pictures with every sponsor and go back with more money in two days than say the I League used to spend in a year.
I don't blame the organizers for getting into this, its a really profitable business, because the politicians are getting serious free mileage and the sponsor is spending his, or his company's money to fulfil his childhood fantasy. The journalists are overawed just to be there with a generational superstar, lots of folks are spending a reported Rs 10 lacs for a handshake and a photo op and the real estate guys are busy pushing deals.
That's millions of bucks spent on a footballer, whose closest attempt at action would be kicking a few footballs at the crowd or dribbling for a few minutes. Money that is desperately desperately needed elsewhere in actual football. Real camps, matches, ground level sponsorships. Or even to revive a football league.
And then we expect India to be better at sport!
Every manager looks brilliant until they become a United manager.
Nobody was talking about Emery when Villa had a slow start to the season, with 0 wins in their first 5 games and not a single goal in the first 4. But now suddenly, everyone is praising him.
Imagine if he was at United and started the season like that. Just imagine. The fans, the media and everyone would be all over him. There would be a thousand agendas and endless mockery. Tell me I'm wrong?
That’s the difference between being a United manager and being at a club like Villa or Bournemouth.
The CEO of IndiGo Airlines walks into a Mumbai hotel bar and asks for a pint of Guinness.
The bartender nods and says, "That will be ₹50, Mr. Bhatia."
The CEO is surprised. "That's very cheap!" he says, handing over the money.
He takes the drink and walks toward a seat.
"Ah, you want to sit down?" says the bartender. "That'll be an extra ₹150. You could have pre-booked the seat for only ₹100."
The CEO grumbles but pays. He sits down.
"I see you've brought your laptop with you," the bartender adds. "Since that wasn't pre-booked, that will be another ₹300."
Furious, the CEO slams his drink on the counter and yells, "This is ridiculous! I want to speak to the manager!"
"Using the counter will be ₹200, sir," the bartender says calmly.
The CEO is livid. "Do you know who I am?"
"Of course, Mr. Bhatia," the bartender replies. "But remember, we are the only star hotel in Mumbai selling pints for ₹50. Now, how can I help you?"
