I am, I have reviewed that a dozen times and everytime all I see is Torres throwing himself to the ground in an overly dramatic fashion. Even if there had been slight contact his writhing around on the ground afterward was very distasteful.

Yet for some reason others claim to see contact. I'm sure if Torres was an Italian player he would never even get the benefit of the doubt.



Yea from what I've seen there isn't much correlation between diving and certain nationalities. Some players are divers and injury fakers while some aren't regardless of their nationality.

Players should be judged as individuals.

I don't claim anything mate, your making it sound like i don't see any contact but am claiming otherwise. But if you really think about it, i don't have any stake here, i don't like the Spanish NT that much and i wish all European teams the worst in this tournament, you on the other hand seem quite intent to make the poor Italians look like victims, so if theres anyone thats "claiming" anything, its more likely to be you.

I personally think Torres made a meal out of it, i think the second yellow is questionable, but i believe there was some contact, i believe the Chile player clipped Torres and i don't think it was unintentional, whether that contact made Torres fall down or whether he made a meal out of it and dived is up for debate, but the contact was there and the Chile player isn't as innocent as he is being made out to be.

Exactly!

Torres made a meal out of it! It's clear for all to see! If there was indeed contact, it HAS to be minimal. There's no way a play can inflict such pain and suffering due to a contact like that! Get your head out of your ass.

I didn't mean to give any such impression. If you claim to see contact then I believe you.

The one thing that has me unsure is that the Chilean player (who is not looking at Torres) turns his head just after the supposed contact would have been made just before Torres falls. It seems like he might be reacting to unexpectedly bumping into Torres.

He isn't paying attention to Torres so if there is any contact I doubt it was intentional or worthy of a card but I could see there being some slight contact.

I know he made a meal out if it afterwards by staying on the ground and faking pain, what i was talking about was if the contact was enough to make him fall over, that is up for debate. But it is so obvious that there was contact and when your running and someone clips you from behind, even if it was minimal contact, it could be enough to make you fall over.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Torres dived. The contact was not enough to make him fall down. This is not up for debate. I'm not gonna debate this with you anymore. Now shut your whore mouth and get your head out of your ass!

No you aren't. Not always. Not this time.

What does post reported do?

A mod gets to view it and give infractions if necessary. Fred is SO evil! I hate him!

 

[X Æ A-12]

What does post reported do?

I'm guessing its some form of tattling to the mods.

Wouldn't know, I don't do that stuff.

 

[Nicholas]
