They played it safe at the end, everyone feared for an injury the way Honduras is playing.

Those tackles were indeed brutal.

 

[inky]

Dirty referees, dirty Fifa!

Be fair, it was penalty to Honduras, Fifa didn't even try to show replay.

Viva le France, full of baby dolls, how much does it cost a referee?

Faux outrage ;P

2 for 2 today with my predictions, down to the score =D

 

[Wilbur]

LOOOOOOOOL

 

[Divius]

goddamn hamsters

 

[mreddie]

The X Games are a thing that still exists in this universe?

Gotta get that Red Bull money.

 

[HardRojo]

They are discussing the second goal again...

 

[daripad]

So how easy is this match going to be for Argentina?

 

[Courage]

lmao

 

[IceCold]

Are coaches ever happy? They always look so pissed off, even when they're winning...

So many commentators failed today, priceless.

 

[Wings 嫩翼翻せ]

Goal-line technology!!

In a scale of 1 to 10 I'd say free.

 

[Skellig Gra]

Haha nice.

 

[TheOddOne]

Hahaha, this was one of the highlights of the match for me.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Lineker are you kidding me?

Old men not trusting technology

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

It didn't cross the line until it hit the keeper though; deflection is only if it's heading in the right direction in the first place. Was heading across goal.

Fifa's own rules state otherwise.

OT2| 2nd France goal wasn't in. Tech isn't fall proof. On another angle, it was!

lol the Twitter picture search for 'Jonathan Pearce' is amazing: https://twitter.com/search?q=jonathan pearce&src=typd&mode=photos

 

[Kurtofan]

Fool's proof.

 

[cremino]

Expected result from France...USA, Mexico and even Costa Rica have all better teams than Honduras so I'm not surprised by the fact they played so badly

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Super Saiyan moment? lol

 

[John Dunbar]

i like how there seems to be some unspoken "minimum of three goals" rule going on here (mexico had two legit goals disallowed, they don't count).

 

[LNBL]

For the Dutchies

 

[StriKeVillain]

This cracked me up so bad. So awkward and funny.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

ESPN is REALLY beating the "Messi needs to win a cup!" angle yet you don't see the same thing for CR. Is it because of the shadow of Maradona? Or maybe because the WC is in the home country of an Argentine rival?

The True winner of this match was the inventor of Goal Line Technology.

 

[luso]

I love this gif so much, I can't stop giggling at it. It can be used in so many situations.

Tried to shorten the gif, not sure if it captures the whole pathos of it.

Lloris at work during the match:

The man is a fucking idiot.

I guess it'd because CR7 won the Champions and the Copa del Rey both, while Barca did jackshit this season.

 

[Shard]

Gotta get that Red Bull money.

I suppose so, I just thought and hoped we had gotten rid of EXTREME! once and for all.

 

[Elchele]

OT2| Dirty Corrupt Goal Line Technology Sinks Brave Honduras

:loooooooool

 

[KidA Seven]

Fifa's own rules state otherwise.

ESPN guys (Lalas and Ruud) got it wrong. The shot wasn't on target as it bounced off the post into the keeper. Only shots that bounce towards the goal/into the goal are on target.

It was correctly ruled as an own goal.

 

[Horseress]

hahahaha I love this guy

because messi is bidding to become the greatest there ever was.

Mainly because of Maradona I believe. Their team is top-tier too, and have a legit chance of winning the cup.

 

[inky]

That's why I love you Van Nistelrooy. Bring up the video challenges FIFA!

 

[VE3TRO]

Super Saiyan moment? lol

Best thing ever.

It's not about how bad they played, nobody expected them to win. It's how dirty they played.

You get to play at a world cup once every 4 years(if you're lucky) so why embarrass yourself by constantly kicking the other team?

How about they defend as a team and try to score on the counter. Instead they just kick everyone. Really stupid.

I guess it'd because CR7 won the Champions and the Copa del Rey both, while Barca did jackshit this season.

it's also because of the history of the team. Argentina was always a contender. Portugal is a quarterfinal team

 

[Zoned]

Naaa Club championships are not comparable to winning a World Cup.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Best thing ever.

I was trying to find that gif of Javier Aguirre raging out but I can't seem to. Mexican coaches are crazy lol

 

[sunnz]

Is the Argentina game on TV in the UK?

 

[D4Danger]

This WC is delivering

The last time more than three goals per game were scored in a world cup is 1954.

 

[CMojicaAce]

Time to order a pizza for the Argentina match. Hope they win and hope Messi actually scores.
