Call me when he has 15 WC goals like my man.

I'll call you when Klose puts one in, mate.

Edit: Beaten, but he isn't average. Strong finisher, very physical and smart player, and a great guy. Man is the definition of fairplay. If he can beat Gerd's international record, you can't underrate him.
 

has it ever been mentioned why they don't have small cameras on the inner side of the top of the goal post that point straight down? Where they are placed to not interfere with a potential shot, but can point straight down and can clearly show the ball is across.

anyway found a clearer version of your pic.


edit- although yours might show the ball even alittle further, I can't tell.
 
Does any have a gif of that churumbela from Di Maria? That move where he crossed his leg through the back and hit the ball. I dont know what that move is called I only know it as "la churumbela".

Because what good would those cameras be if the keepers hand or body is over the ball?
 
Germany vs Portugal. Who do you root for?

Slightly rooting for Portugal because of the Real players there, but I don't really care a lot about the result. I just want to see a good games with a lot of goals and if it's possible, no major mistakes by the referee and his team.
 
That ones the Hawkeye system, the GoalControl system they are using appears to be very similar though... this explains it pretty well... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBxztIYvlkQ

There were others that used magnetic chips and such in the ball but these were the only two approved. I think the English Premier league is using the hawk-eye system.

Yeah I believe EPL uses Hawk-Eye. Do the refs have the wrist alerters in the World Cup.

Fifia uses a hacked version that sends a special signal to the referees.....

What a damn dick move right there...

If you look closely the kid isn't standing there at the beginning, he walks up from behind the grown-up.

Looks like he just didn't see him.

Still, that is the kind of thing that crushes a person for life though.
Poor kid. He had a good run.
 
Hats off to Bosnia-Herzegovina. Debut match in the World Cup their nerves must of been out control. They concede that early goal and so many teams would have fallen apart after that. Now obviously we haven't seen Iran and Nigeria play but if Bosnia can work out some kinks and build on this performance they could advance.

My thoughts from the weekend:
-England are complete shit. A few bright spots but overall it's classic England failing miserably. They desperately need a foreign manager with balls who will tell what remains of the golden generation to fuck off, by 2018 only Wayne will be around or so, but watch him still get picked.
- Ivory Coast should finally get out of the group stage, I hope Japan continue to fight on and get out.
- Ecuador are done after that loss, put a fork in em.

I have no idea what the fuck is wrong with England. Rooney had so many goddamn shots on goal and couldn't land a single one of the in the back of the net. If he made half of his shots then England would have won that match. It was like he was aiming at a different goal than everyone else. Why the fuck does England keep naming him to the National Team?
 
Jacobo Ríos-Capapé, a 56-year old architect and ex-referee from Valencia, took part in a contest organized by Spanish fuel company, Cespa. Somehow divining the 5-1 scoreline weeks in advance, Ríos-Capapé placed his entry for the match alongside 70,000 other participants and 120,000 entries with the hopes of winning one of Cespa's grand prizes, $135,000 worth of free gasoline.

As it turns out, Ríos-Capapé was the only participant in the entire country to guess such a brutal scoreline. The entire country. So convinced was Spain of their dominance that literally only one person predicted a 5-1 scoreline when they could have entered multiple times with different scorelines.
