They gave some mad stat last night about how many times they’ve won a game after conceding the first goal. They don’t know when they’re beaten. Smaller population than Scotland. We could learn so much from their attitude.

Totally agree - you can’t help but root for them!

I’m convinced Luka Modric is a robot - lol. He’s one of my favorite international players of all time. Reminds me of bastian schweinsteiger, but even tougher.

He’s a wee magician.

That was the most anemic effort I've seen from someone in a knockout game. Portugal should be ashamed of how they played today.

I mean let’s give Morocco a little bit of credit. Through 5 games, they’ve only allowed 1 goal (and it was an own goal.) They’ve beaten Canada who dominated CONCACAF, Belgium, Portugal, Spain on penalties, and they drew with Croatia who’s also in the semis. Maybe they’re for real.

Got what he deserved. Did you see he ran down the tunnel instantly after the whistle? The rest of his team stayed on the pitch, consoled eachother and thanked the fans. Ronaldo has turned himself into a joke over the last year and a half.

He’s a selfish prick. Only interested in himself and not a team player. Should have been sent home after he threw a strop in the group stages. Would have been better for their team morale.
 
How was not at least a foul/free kick for Eng? That was as marginal as the penalty kick given to Arg last night.. wtf?

Yeah, I don't get that either. VAR reviews it, it's Cleary a foul, but because it wasn't in the penalty box VAR can't call it? Feels like the sport is slowly turning into the NFL

Yeah, the inconsistency is ridiculous. IMO, a penalty kick should be egregious, so not saying it should have been a penalty kick, but at least a foul.

I think the penalty kick given to Arg last night was bullshit as well. It’s no way to settle a match.

Which is honestly why I can’t root for France, just feel that penalty kick they got in the finals last WC was crap.

I could be wrong but I don’t think free kicks are rewarded through VAR. It’s only there to determine possible goals, penalties and offsides

Agree, but the ref should have called it - just BS. Don’t get me stared on the off-sides shit.

That goal pulled back from Germany in group play for a shoulder being off-sides, while both feet were on-sides was a joke.

Ok FIFA rant over :LOL: :laugh:
 
I'd still argue that was in the box, the ball and all but his rear foot was in the box. Either way clearly a foul. Cheating fucks
 
That's as blatant a penalty I've ever seen. How did the referees miss that live lmao
