And his choice was wrong, in my opinion.

He probably had mercy with Switzerland. :lol

But yeah, wrong decision.

Where is the best place to get the highlights of the games. I've been listening to a lot of them on ESPN radio but I'd still like to see the goals.

Just google the countries involved and the highlights will show up, along with the score, stats, etc.

 

[Glass Rebel]

What an embarrassing display of our team. Even if we take Von Bergen's injury into account, you don't fucking choke this hard.

Benzema got robbed of like 3 goals at this WC so far :lol

Ref decides, and he decided wrong.

There is no rule saying don't blow whistle while striker is receiving a pass...

Ref decides.

I can't tell if you guys are serious lol. Nothing wrong with that call. Nothing.

He blew the whistle while there was a pass being made. Not a shot, not a cross, just a pass from midfield outside the box.

 

[Acorn]

Lol@Saint Martin

 

[Naix]

Well, I'm a bit surprised, didn't think it would be so easy. Grats Benz and the rest.

 

[Portugeezer]

This guy wins. Literally.

Besides Holland beating Spain, the rest seemed predictable enough. Damn, time for me to put in some bets.

It's an unwritten rule. You give the ball back when a team kicks it out when there's an injured player on the pitch. There's nothing "wrong" with not doing that, but you'll see (and rightfully so) people get pissed.

CBC's streaming also has bookmarks for goals, shots , subs and cards.

You can't link searches.

The whistle was blowing whether Benz was shooting or passing backwards, that's my point lol.

Ref can't predict what he will do.

 

[Uzzy]

Great 5-2 game with quite a few talking points, and ITV can't wait to talk about England again.

Stuff like this makes me glad we're out.

 

[fasTRapid]

And his choice was wrong, in my opinion.

He stopped before the cross. There was no sign of a chance and it was still fairly close to the middleline. Good call.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

An hour before the next game starts.

 

[gutter_trash]

you would think that the ref would let a play get completed before blowing the whistle or when the ball changes hands

 

[Ushojax]

That first Switzerland goal was terrible, even worse than the second Suarez one yesterday.

you would think that the ref would let a play get completed before blowing the whistle or when the ball changes hands

Why? It's not like the game was 1-1 or something, even then the ref would have been entitled to blow. Time was up and the result was decided an hour ago.

 

[Juz]

Ice cold.

A sensible ref would've waited until the very end of the play.

 

[snaffles]

blowing the whistle there, man what a joke.

at least it wasn't 2-2.

That exact scenario happened in 2006 between Australia and Croatia with the match 2-2. Australia had a goal after the final whistle disallowed. The same ref also gave one player 3 yellow cards in that match so he wasn't very sharp all around.

 

[Kurtofan]

Such a beautiful goal too...

 

[figadapaura]

LOL Chiles asking if England could have defended better.

They were shite, of course they could.

 

[Acorn]

"Lets watch England's game game again"

Fuck off ITV, you're a shit downton abbey factory

 

[sphinx]

Only for mexicans, I think

 

[Suen]

Benz is better than Flopmar in Brazil. Who would have predicted this.

 

[FootballFan]

Ref decided wrong.

You can write 6-2 on your world cup poster if you want, it will just be incorrect.

Time was up, ref blew whistle.

 

[Kurtofan]

IM MAD

 

[Juicy Bob]

Seriously, ITV?

 

[SporeCrawler]

Wow so germany may face france in ro8 -_-

RIP Germany

 

[figadapaura]

lol give the Swiss a break.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I'll write that ref was wrong to blow the whistle and I'll be correct.

 

[fasTRapid]

It was midfield, before the cross. Stop this shit, you got your 5 goals after literally breaking our defence.

Wow so germany may face france in ro8 -_-

RIP Germany

You can't be serious.

 

[Acorn]

Wow so germany may face france in ro8 -_-

RIP Germany

France will surrender

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Wonder if ITV are paid for every mention of England. Pack it up lads its over.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Wow so germany may face france in ro8 -_-

RIP Germany

Germany is going to roll over France

oops..

 

[spectral_method]

so official score 5-2
GAF score 6-2?

 

[figadapaura]

France will surrender

oooooooooooooooooohhhhh

 

[cilonen]

Christ, can we shut up about England already? They shat the bed. We knew they would shit the bed. Mission accomplished.

Can we not just be really happy for Costa Rica and move on with it?

Edit: talking to ITV here.

 

[TCRS]

is honduras-ecuador going to be any good?

 

[FootballFan]

I'll write that ref was wrong to blow the whistle and I'll be correct.

"wrong to blow whistle" after added time was over and there's a normal pass outside the box.

 

[fasTRapid]

so official score 5-2
GAF score 6-2?

Only score is 5-2

 

[Hoo-doo]

Christ, can we shut up about England already? They shat the bed. We knew they would shit the bed. Mission accomplished.

No.

 

[jamesinclair]

First cold match up the cup (50f, 10c). Might see some added oomph.

Theyre both playing to not be eliminated.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

fuck off ITV with this montage

 

[cilonen]

is honduras-ecuador going to be any good?

The cage around the pitch is installed, hell in a cell is about to begin...

Gotta analyse every moment of the game so English people don't switch off innit.

 

[Chuckie]

Depends on what you think is 'wrong'.

The better decision would have been to let the play go on. However he had the right to blow the whistle. It's not like he blew it during the shot.

So crappy decision...yeah... but not a mistake.
