I think at the end of the day France won by a lucky header and all in all Belgium were robbed of a deserved victory tonight IMO. Such a shame things like this happen in this sport. It's also sad how often did the French players wasted time. I hope FIFA takes acton against them.
No. Read what I wrote. I specifically wrote it is within a team's right to do so. You can't blame a team. We (Juventus) do it all the time too. But it destroys the game.

I know what you wrote. They have every right to do so, but like you said, it destroys the game and that makes their win undeserved IMO. Cowards!

I wasn't calling out Mbappe for time-wasting per se. Rather, he was menacing because he would win back possession and create havoc for Belgium's rear guard just when they were trying to press forward. He did that repeatedly and Belgium just couldn't hold the ball when they needed to.

I hardly saw France's tactics as negative or ruining the art of the game per se. Rather, I thought they dared Belgium to do something about it and they couldn't. So good on them.
You don't think taking the ball away is ruining the game? That's an odd way of looking at it.

Anyway, I guess it could be fine if it was just at the highest level. Though I honestly lose interest because of it. Unless Juve or Belgium are playing I watch games while doing something else. And I suspect many of you today were busy on your phones as well. Because timewasting is boring as fuck.

But the same thing happens in amateur leagues every fucking Sunday too. This sport is really suffering.

No. It doesn't. I even said they deserved to win just as much as we did. You can be silly. I don't really mind. You won't ever be someone anyway.

How dare you? What gives you the right to talk to me like that? I was actually rooting for your country because of you tonight, and mostly because of that deserved win over Japan.

It's okay. We both know you are frustrated.

Yes, very much frustrated. All that time wasting and that shit cunt Mbappe wasting time at the end really ruined my night. If only there was Nainngolan in midfield tonight. :(

Oh the game? No, that's not why you're frustrated.

Mbappe was more threatening as a time-waster than Belgium was in most of its attacks throughout the match.

It was more painful to me to watch Belgium rush up and then fail in the final third and turn the ball over. That was pretty agonizing time-wasting from this neutral's perspective.

The last 15 minutes of the game, yes. That's how these games evolve.

And it's not about merit here.

It's that time wasting is encouraged. As long as the ball is in play that's fine with me. But France wasted so much time when the ball was out. I can't imagine why you'd like that. I can't imagine why anyone would like it.

And the sport is hurting. I can't think of three memorable knockout games at this world cup.

Hey bro, you should call it a night. You really sound mad. Tomorrow will be different I swear. :rab:

I can't say I like it very much.

It's just something that could be changed so easily and it's surely one of the most negative aspects of the game right now.

There are quite a few frustrating things in football especially when things aren't going your way. These things don't really get my pulse up anymore though.

Tomorrow will be just the same for you. And so will the day after tomorrow. It's what happens when you don't have passion in your life, Klin. You try to bug people by trolling them. You try to bait them. You try to rile them up. Because you want to get some semblance of an emotion in your own life, even if you're just feeding off the anger of some guy on the internet you've never met.

And things will never change for you. Today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow. It will be one meaningless day after another. And you know that's exactly what life is going to be for you. Until one day you die. Or better, you stop existing. Dying is reserved for the people who lived.

So I understand your frustration. And I know it is really deep.
