Is Osman actually rooting for that france team? :rolleyes:
Not really, unless Mbappe scores a hattrick and tells the world he arrived, I don't care who wins.


But I contest some of these constant bitchy tears. I mean Umtiti goes out and can't defend the crucial corner after biggiest Croat on the pitch landed on his legs, and it's cheating time wasting lol.

I find solace in reminding all these French people at the pub I'm at of 2006 :touched:
A French guy said France deserved to win
I laughed and said "groooosssooooooo"

Watch the second half. Just watch it and come back to me. Unless Croatia score soon, even you will see it.

Players can't cut off their arms though. He was already coming down from his jump.

These are difficult calls to make, but I think he got it wrong.

Very tough call. The ref was probably looking where the ball would have went if it didn't hit Perisic. It was impossible to predict if it was gonna reach a France player. In such a 50-50 situation, with unintentional handball and impossible to predict what would have happened, he called the hand. Croatia were simply unlucky that this ref was one of those 50% who would call this penalty.

I did too. It was harsh, but that doesn't mean it should not be given, just that it's harsh.
Not saying he’s wrong but I believe other refs would have seen it as non-intentional. I know I did. And with it being a WC final they have to be extra careful with the calls they make, this penalty can very well be what gives France the trophy, there shouldn’t be room for argument whether it was or wasn’t a penalty.

I did the same thing, but I'm alone, and in my own house. I straight up picked a fight with myself.

Dude, I caught myself off the top rope and crashed through my coffee table.

The point is, a game is a game, friendly or final, all should be called the same.


YO! :lol:

Alexi Lalas just said: "There doesn't need to be contact for a foul to occur."

HOW THE FUCK?

Every dive is a foul, 20 meters from someone, go down, FOUL!

They're going to change the rules eventually though. Some sort of action has to be undertaken if this is what spectators get to see.

Football is about money. This idiocy isn't exactly great advertisement.

Does it though? If you slide in wildly, totally miss the ball and force attacking player to hurdle you ending up flat on their face in effort to save their ankles is that not a foul even if you don't actually touch them?

Obviously not saying that is what happened here just debating.
