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

6-2 should just be the official score, I need captain Benzema to save my fantasy team from mediocrity

 

[krYlon]

These adverts are hilarious now england are out

 

[Empty]

itv are so bad. i wish the match was on bbc so thierry henry could talk about it.

 

[ghst]

fuck off ITV with this montage

gotta remember all the trials and tribulations we've all been through together over an entire two games of football.

 

[Meier]

Can you imagine if that goal decided the match? What the hell.

Obviously he wouldn't have blown for time if it were a deciding attack. In this case, he probably would have let France continue if the initial attacker continued to go forward but once he went sideways (even on a cross), he felt like that had been enough.

 

[figadapaura]

is honduras-ecuador going to be any good?

if you like broken legs

 

[sphinx]

people seriously think France can beat Germany??

wow.

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

Just an awfully poor decision on his part. Very wrong choice.

 

[Uzzy]

Sure, we could have had a montage showing the goals in the game we just watched, but why bother about that when we can see a rerun montage of England's defeat from yesterday.

Goddamn it ITV. BBC aren't much better when it comes to talking about England at every opportunity.

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

Switzerland 2-5 France FT

What an amazing one timer strike to the corner by Benzema!

That Dutch ref is a proper troll!! Even if it's not an official rule, it's an unspoken rule that you DO not blow the whistle during an attack!!! Wtf ref?? In fact most games end when the ball is inside the center circle, no?

people seriously think France can beat Germany??

wow.

Of course they can. Whether they will is another question. But they are capable.

people seriously think Costa Rica can beat Italy??

people seriously think France can beat Germany??

wow.

Why not? They're not invincible. The Swiss had previously beaten Spain when they were still considered the best of the best.

anything is possible

I hope they beat England even though that game doesn't matter... imagine how they'd be playing if they had Saborio and Oviedo healthy...

 

[Black Republican]

only on gaf, please let the 6 goal whistle go....

 

[Brazil]

people seriously think France can beat Germany??

wow.

Uh, yes. Of course they can.

 

[Jill Sandwich]

I just went to the FIFA site and read the rules of the game. Turns out the referee keeps the time and ends the match at his/her discretion. The decision is final.

I don't care that the goal doesn't count, you can clearly see Swiss were still playing, he scored this one legit. Swiss goal keeper got beaten 6 times.

 

[ColossalLazy]

Fuck the ref. If Benzema goal was validated, we would still have an average of 3 goal per match.

I'd be willing to endure the "lol UEFA" and "Europe are you even trying" posts if it means that Uruguay eliminates Italy.

Not going to happen, but still, I'd be willing to make a deal here.

Wow so germany may face france in ro8 -_-

RIP Germany

All these people already projecting so far into the tournament.

Lots of games to be played before that.

 

[$200]

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.

Costa Rica is best Costa

 

[FootballFan]

Nope, you just don't seem to get how football stoppage time works.

Maybe you'd have a point if he blew the whistle while Benzema was shooting, not while players are passing in midfield. Especially after injury time is already up.

You clearly haven't had the gingerbread mocha

Yh France might lose to Nigeria next round

Spoiler

loool

 

[Haunted]

Shame that the ref ended that game there, pretty weird and I didn't like the decision.

However, since he has whistles at that second, the goal cannot possibly stand - the GK might've been influenced because he heard the whistle and didn't jump.

 

[Wazzy]

people seriously think France can beat Germany??

wow.

Yes?

No one is saying they will. But it's very possible.

It was unfortunate timing, no doubt about that.

Yh France might lose to Nigeria next round

Or lose to Bosnia. Or Germany might not get first place. Or Argentina gets second place and is France's opponent. Things can still happen, groups F and G only had one round of games played, too early to suss out quarter-final matches.

No way!

Not directing that at you, just people that keep saying it was wrong lol. When clearly, they are wrong and don't know the rules.

As if the ref was supposed to predict that Benzema would receive that pass from midfield and shoot from outside the box. Lol

 

[cilonen]

Costa Rica is best Costa

I'm liking their football. Mexico Impressed me so far too; granted Brazil seem to have replaced their first team with 80's pop stars for that match but Ochoa was brilliant.

Chile look good, as do Germany, France and Holland when they're awake. Argentina were alright, but they have Messi to make up for general averageness.

I was expecting a stronger challenge from the African nations TBH, and Australia have played well but lost both games.

FIFA'd

Because of how they pressured during 90 minutes in comparison to how tired italians looked during the match. This happens all the time
