Bailey Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 That was as impressive as I have seen Portugal. The Swiss are solid and they took them apart. Even more of a bonus that it would have been a further dent in Ronaldo's ego! Romey 1878 and Sibdane 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibdane Posted December 9, 2022 Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 Had a feeling Croatia would get the result. Not too bummed about it though I'm bummed for Richarlison.

Saw this last might. I can’t believe it. It will be pretty wild if it turns out to be foul play. He mentioned in his podcast the day before that he was under the weather but also felt like he was coming out of the other side of it. It’s too early to know, but either way it’s tragic. He did such excellent work and seemed like an incredible person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Var and refs have their agenda, simple as that I've never bought into this mindset. It feels very "woe is me." There are awful referee decisions that go against every team. And every now and again they directly impact a result (Rodri handball comes to mind.) But ultimately, it comes down to the players and the coaching.

dunlopp9987 Posted December 10, 2022 Report Share Posted December 10, 2022 So question, is this whole "adding the actual amount of stoppage time" going to find its way into the European leagues after the WC break? Or do we think this is just an international tournament thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
