Cornish Steve Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 Wales were very poor. It's such a shame they didn't compete four years ago when their squad was much stronger. The US team seems very average, but they did enough to win their needle match against Iran. England was fortunate to be placed in a comparatively easy group. After the first match, I thought they were playing well, but they were atrocious against the US. Which England will show up against Senegal? Personally, I don't see England among the favorites, despite all the hyperventilating at the BBC site. Brazil, Spain, and France are the cream of the crop, with Portugal close behind. I don't agree with the pundits praising Argentina; they struggled against a very negative Mexico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 I, for one, am very happy Wales are out and out with a whimper. I hope it’s another 60 odd years until they qualify again as well, they’re shit. I remember their team celebrating like they’d won the cup when Iceland knocked us out of the Euros, so fuck em.

Yep, I feel like Daryl Dike(injured) or Ricardo Pepi or Pefok(both omitted) would have been super helpful, but hopefully Sargent finds his feet.

Is he going to be ok? Diagnosed with a pelvic contusion, day to day. He has said he'll be ready to go for Saturday, he also looked in good spirits and moving around pretty well when they got back to the hotel. For the first time though, I'm not worried if he's not able to start due to our strength in depth in wide attacking players. Aaronson or Reyna can slot right in.

Nonetheless France are a great team & it would have taken something special to get the win. Huge result for us against Tunisia though. Harry Souttar has come straight back from his ACL injury & looks different class to anything we have. Hate signing players off world cups but if we move Keane & Mina on, I’d have no issue with use brining him in whatsoever. Congrats to the Socceroos! Happy to see them advance to the next stage.

Btay Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 Was a nervous game to watch. Especially given the France result. First time we’ve ever won 2 group games and kept 2 consecutive clean sheets. Incredible achievement from the lads, now Argentina next!

Cornish Steve Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 Precision and fairness are important - I understand that - but just how ridiculous is it that a World Cup goal is denied based in this VAR decision? Maybe it's time to abandon the offside rule altogether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 Who was offside ?. You can't score with your arm so I assume the number 5s head put him offside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 4 minutes ago, Bill said: Who was offside ?. You can't score with your arm so I assume the number 5s head put him offside. This is what makes it ridiculous. According to NBC Sports, at least, "A player is in an offside position when they are in the opponent’s half of the field and any part of their head, body or feet is nearer to the opponents’ goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent. Simply put, a player needs to be entirely in front of the last defender when their teammate passes them the ball." Based on this statement, it's the Moroccan's little finger that puts him offside. On the other hand, the explanatory line appears to use shoulder, so where exactly does arm become shoulder? Does it depend on an individual's bone structure, or the angle at which the player is standing relative to the sideline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croatia won a penalty but then it was decided that Croatia had a man offside in the build up, so it was then brought back for the offside and no penalty.
