welp there's only one song that comes to mind now!

england's mediocrity stopped being their strength and started being.... england! now the commentators on ITV are talking about how it's gonna be fun watching england get better. they needed to score another goal or two earlier when they had the swag... ah well, at least gareth sold a lot of dignified vests in the UK =P

(and, of course, i've been taking the piss with the over the top FOOTBALL'S COMING HOME stuff.... i never thought i'd see england in WC penalties.... but that's because i never thought they'd get that far. now i've seen them win penalties and lose in the semis. "that tiny lack of quality in the final third cost us" -- "this team has taken us to a place we never expected that we'd get" - gary neville =)

mully's gotta be enjoying this, eh?!

this bumper going to commercial from the postmatch punditry is suitably hilarious if you let your mind wander a little bit...

Croatia is great story. I'm 1/4 French and I jump off the heritage train and boarded the bandwagon.

Bullshit ass call. This reward is so disproportionate to the infraction. Give the other team a free goal because the ball accidentally grazed the hand of someone.

Redoing to corner kick seems fairer.

Yeah that’s lame.

Based on the rules, the call is obvious.

It’s a horrendous rule though. It’d be like the NFL awarding a free touchdown to the defense because of a false start.

Stop behind so dramatic.

Think extreme pass interference.

No way. That handball had zero effect on the play. They essentially gave France a free goal because of an unlucky spin of the ball for Croatia.

Agree with FF. Accidental handball being a penalty drives me nuts.

This is the #MeToo era. You can't just place your hands anywhere.

Knowing how to comport oneself in the penalty box is pretty basic. He got sloppy and it cost him.

Maybe you don’t understand all the nuances like I do. They should have given them the kick where they have to kick over a wall of people. Seems more fair.

Make sure to express similar outrage or purpose a rule change the next time you see a score taken off the board in football for a penalty away from the ball that didn't affect the play.

Fascinating.

I’d argue the penalty that led to the first goal was a bigger problem but the French guy sure sold it. I don’t like the penalty kick format but it is what it is and these guys know it. Keep your arms closer to your body in the box and you remove the possibility of getting that called.

France wins. But I wouldn't be surprised if Croatia came back and tied it.

can this announcer shut up about Croatia's energy. i think they proved they're not tired.

And here comes France again!

Author:  HawaiiYou [ Sun Jul 15, 2018 11:23 am ]
Post subject:  Re: WORLD CUP 2018 : RUSSIA

so is France just going to play back now? Dangerous I think from seeing how Croatia plays.

feel bad for Croatia. They're like your gritty everyman's team. But France just has the talent and the stars.
