@Its_ereko If countries like South Africa are able to host a world cup with no co-host, there's no reason why Canada and Mexico shouldn't be able to host more games. It makes no sense that the US host 75% of the games.
@retrophisch Football is like a metaphor for life, and penalty shoot-outs are definitely how life treats you sometimes. No way there will ever be a change to that rule. It will suck the life out of "the beautiful game".
@ShacklefordPI@itvfootball He didn't con the ref. If that was his intention, he would have stayed down and complain. He stood back up straight away cos he was only focused on catching the ball. He lost his balance only because of the German defender.
@MahdiBaladi Everybody who believes that lives on another planet. Your sense of reality is completely warped. You don't rig a game scoring 3-3, with 2 goals during the very last minutes. That makes no sense.
Funny how some teams get asked about football… and others get asked to explain the world.
Shoutout to the Iran team for carrying that weight.

#GERPAR@alanshearer At Alan Shearer, it's called "the beautiful game" precisely because it's not a contact sport. It's that type of commentary on national television that leads to a culture of reckless fouls from players. Do better.
