The Football (Soccer) Thread - Season 2017/2018

Seriously. If they’re not going to use instant replays, then get more refs. Get 6, one more each part of the field. There have been so many BS calls this World Cup. That offsides shot in the Mexico V Argentina game was ridiculous. The whole team was pissed, they couldn’t shake it off and it pretty much cost them the game. They looked really good at the beginning until that happened. Don’t get me started on that England goal. That was in.

FIFA will be adding 2 additional linesmen for 2014 Brazil. They should also make diving am automatic red and stop all these aspiring actors. I’m looking at you, Italy.

Worst call ever… I totally forgot about this thread. I think I’m going to too many football/soccer forums…

They do give cards for legit diving. But it’s the shit that they pull when someone touches their arm, and fall over crying like someone shot their nuts off. That’s so damn annoying. Get up and play the game.

People need to stop bitching about blown calls. It happens every world cup and it will continue to happen. It’s part of the tourney. Fuck France got into this World Cup on a blatant handball. The blown calls is what makes this tourney so great. It gives everyone a chance to bitch. Sure it sucks when it goes against you but it’s great when its in your favour.

Well that’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard this week.

Dudes wish Dr. B would give them a “blatant handball.”

He’s just mad that Croatia didn’t qualify.

You better be Half Argentinian and half German if you want to go there.

Jus’ sayin’

LMFAO!!!

lol heinze hitting the camera

mexico you need to learn to take it easy and stay calm in the worst moments, jesus lost of fucking silly mistakes did argentina just was too much for you!!!

I haven’t been watching Argentina all tournament but the only flaw is that they ham shit up with their diving and flops. Other then that motherfuckers were excellent in controlling the ball and played good defense when Mexico was fucking up and giving them reasons to flop.

Argentina has trouble containing on defense, while they’re much more fluid/comfortable when they’re pressing on offense. Watch the first 15 minutes of the match, Maradona was almost shitting his pants when Mexico kept striking again and again until Tevez scored that controversial goal. In the second half around the time where Tevez was subbed out, Argentina became sloppy when they stopped pressing and fell back, which allowed Mexico to score that goal and get aggressive for the next 15 or so minutes. Their brilliance only shines on the other side of the field.

no idea how the brackets work out but I want to see one of the under dogs Japan or Ghana make it to the semis and finals, nobody looks good enough to beat Brazil :wasted:

FIFA.com - The matches of 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa

Japan would have to make it through Paraguay and the winner of Spain vs Portugal to make it to the semi’s.

Ahh, Japan are screwed then go Ghana :rofl:

Quick question for those brackets: What exactly is match #63? The match below the brackets?

Edit: nevermind, that’S 3rd place.

Yeah, that’s the 3rd place match. The one played by the losers of the semifinals. I don’t know why they even do that.

AFP: FIFA dig in over technology demands

When did Bush start running FIFA?

Ok listening to that england press confrence, what a fucking joke

The english media is a complete joke, making capello the scapegoat, i’ll admit capello must take some of the blame, some of his tactical choices were weird some of his squad choices were downright stupid, lets not forget he was ment to really take charge of this team and he’s just turnt into an FA yes man.

They want him to say sorry? what about those players? lets not forget our previous 2 world cups which were pretty much the same squad that have failed again and again lets not forget they didn’t even qualifie for the last euros, it’s obvious the players need to take 90% of blame, you could see capello on the sidelines going mad waving his arms about trying to get the players to do want he wanted to do but they were having none of it.

I have no idea why these bunch of idiots are being protected from any sort of bollocking, they’re tired? what about tevez? look how hard that guy works, does he not play in the exact same league?

Capello needs to tell the FA to fuck off and let him do his thing, the guy is a winner it’s a shame to see him become a puppet

Yeah and GO SLOVAKIA!!! somebody kick that cunt robben

The after-match report on FIFA.com for MEX-ARG also failed to mention the offside.

Way to go FIFA! I guess somebody has to make up for North Korea’s absence!

EDIT - My FIFA.com comment on that news story wasn’t approved, where I pointed out said refereeing blunder and called for video replays. FIFA scores!

Dr. B makes you want to follow him; he doesn’t use his B-lepathy to force you.

Hell Yes Robben!!
