yup it’s actually very sad ngl

[darui 🇧🇷 @naegcfs20jr]

this is actually kind of sad, people talked so much about his appearance that he ended up changing half his face...

[F. @francis_TK]

@StevieY82 not quite what VAR is assessing. VAR isn’t simply deciding “penalty or no penalty”. it’s deciding whether the on-field decision was a clear and obvious error. so VAR could even think that it’s probably a pen but still won’t recommend a review if there is enough room for doubt

[F. @francis_TK]

this is why i think video reviews should be initiated by coaches of the respective teams. each team has two challenges per game. you keep your challenge if right and lose it if wrong. you also have to state exactly what you are challenging or offside, handball etc

[Referee Channel @RefereeC21621]

England didn’t get a penalty here. #argentina #england #worldcup #var #worldcup2026

[F. @francis_TK]

@StevieY82 VAR decided against recommending a video review. if coaches initiate reviews, the decision for the referee to look at this clip will be made by Tuchel et al and hence there would’ve been a guaranteed review of the incident.
that’s the difference

[F. @francis_TK]

that could solve the microscopic offside issue cos teams will be wary gambling on such a thing unless reasonably sure there’s an offside. also helps remove this arbitrary “clear and obvious” threshold

[F. @francis_TK]

mateta not coming on? crazy

[F. @francis_TK]

@j_loms i think messi declined it. preferred the fk instead

“honourable” joke

You’ve left your office because you couldn’t supervise your MMDCEs to do their work. It’s not a holiday. Fuck off with this performative nonsense.

@niinhoo10 doesn’t score, doesn’t create, doesn’t intercept, doesn’t tackle…good at running and ball recycling… not a 100m CM imo but maybe im wrong

[F. @francis_TK]

[F. @francis_TK]

@Engrr_vicky i was so confused by that statement…and it’s clearly not true too….was a fairly even game

[F. @francis_TK]

🤣🤣 yeah right this solves it

[Jonathan Stoop @jonathanstoop]

Here's my suggestion for improving the offside rule:

Widen the line used to draw offside to marginally increase the buffer for what counts as level with the last defender.

This absorbs the toenail decisions with minimal disruption to general play.

[ANDRÉ ALFIERI @Andre_Alfieri]

Lances idênticos. Atacante coloca a perna no "caminho" do movimento do chute do zagueiro

O problema é o critério

1. Falta do atacante no zagueiro (gol anulado)
2. Falta do zagueiro no atacante (pênalti marcado)

Duas interpretações opostas. Nenhum foi falta, disputa normal

[F. @francis_TK]

free us from this mentality 😭

[Sims 🇨🇩 @leizenomis]

We qualified for the World Cup for the first time after 52 years.

We drew against Portugal. We won our first game against Uzbekistan and literally went toe to toe against England.

We made history, and for that, I am so proud of my boys.

CONGO TO THE WORLD AND BACK 🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩

Vamos a desmontar el relato de Messi en los mundiales:

- después de jugar 6 mundiales, nunca ha jugado contra: Brasil, España, Inglaterra, Uruguay, Portugal ni Italia.

- de las grandes selecciones solo jugó contra: Alemania (3 veces), Holanda (2 veces) y Francia (1 vez). Perdió todos los partidos.

- en el mundial de Sudáfrica de 2010, marcó un total de 0 goles.

- en el de Brasil 2014, marcó 4. Todos en fase de grupos. Los rivales: Bosnia, Nigeria e Irán.

- En Rusia 2018, solo marcó a su víctima favorita: Nigeria.

- en Qatar 2022, marcó 7 goles. 4 de penalti.

Es la carrera más maquillada de la historia entre ayudas, penaltis y goles a selecciones sin historia ninguna.
