Nigeria has been by far the stronger team in the second half.

BIH is not playing like a team down a goal

 

[figadapaura]

That wasn't "an exception" though...

You know what I mean. He was in an offside position if the ball hadn't come off Gerrard.

I was basically wondering how a technological implementation would 'know' that.

 

[Godslay]

not to continue this stupid discussion

this has to be the stupidest reason ive ever heard and hope to god you're being facetious

It's derived from rugby "football" which gained its name as it was played on foot rather than horse. Plus the foot is used extensively in rugby for various reasons. Same with American football.

 

[Elchele]

pulga stop
it's a yanqui thing, ask Wilbury

Football is dead anyways, Pep killed it

 

[CMojicaAce]

votes for the most boring team in the world cup? Thought it was Iran, but it may just be Nigeria

Greece.

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

BOSNIA PLEASE

 

[KingJolly]

Pulga, how do you call this move in Honduras?

Patada Bicicleta

 

[CelticKnight]

Bloody Bosnians.

I'm guessing their performance against Argentina was due to the Argies sucking, not Bosnia playing well.

 

[Syntsui]

Nigeria is just relentless at the moment. Faster and reacting to everything.

Bullshit offside though.

This, what is done is done, they are playing much better overall. Obi Mikel got that midfield on lock.

 

[toweringinferno]

We need to get a second and put the game away. Collective groan from my brother and I when we heard Shola Ameobi is stripping off

 

[Mory Dunz]

damn bosnia's defense is so bad!

What are the conditions right now. Both teams are absolutely dead.

If Musa and Emenike save their energy, they can run by anyone late in the game.

 

[BronsonLee]

I'm stepping in here guys, let's call it Quidditch

 

[Roland1979]

Johan Cruyff perfected that move:

Before that it had never been done like that.

 

[FuturusX]

Bosnia haven't really showed enough. They'll complain about their goal ruled off-side and the foul on the goal..but they really need to show some heart.

 

[figadapaura]

Such a terrible idea. But hey let's agree to disagree.

EDIT: Unless we are talking about offside exclusively.

Talking about offside.

The Emenike guy is really good though

Cryuff turn isn't a flip flap

chilena

Pjanic is stupid good.

eh i dont care what they call it, just found the "on foot" thing as a very silly reason since fucking 98% of sports are played on foot

and yes, Drug Guardiola did indeed kill football. Shame.

It's not the same move.

 

[Ostinatto]

so can we call basketball football? its played on foot

so is golf

and tennis

and volleyball

and pretty much 98% of sports are played on foot

thus i must conclude he was probably joking



chilena

is this you stroking your cock or something lol

lol, Mexicans don't call it that way i think...

eeeeeeeh, totally different move.

Shola warming up, game over.

Man if Argentina looses to Nigeria I will eat my argie shirt

One is the Cruyff turn, the other is the elastico.

 

[Roland1979]

You're right, he doesn't drag the ball, which Cruyff does, though it's hard to see in the gif.

 

[Haunted]

Bosnia haven't really showed enough. They'll complain about their goal ruled off-side and the foul on the goal..but they really need to show some heart.

Sometimes I wonder whether these players realise that they're out of the world cup if this result stands.

RUN AND FIGHT FOR YOUR GODDAMN LIFE YOU FUCKS

THIS IS IT

THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE

I think someone already answered this for you.

Horseback vs. On foot...

 

[Envelope]

Bosnia's left defense is nonexistent

 

[Acorn]

Ameobi on for Bosnia. Be hard for Nigeria with 10 men.

 

[mellz]

You're right, he doesn't drag the ball, which Cruyff does, though it's hard to see in the gif.

Wat

 

[toweringinferno]

The Bosnian left back will be dreaming about Eminike all night. He's been absolutely dominated

 

[figadapaura]

Wouldn't even need that. If it's not offside nothing needs to happen just let it go on if it's offside then you stop.

Now I don't even know what we're talking about anymore, so I guess we should just stop because this will never happen.

 

[KingJolly]

Bosnian players seem about to drop dead. Is it too hot for them?

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

SPAHIC TACKLE! SPAHIC MADE A TACKLE!

 

[Bold One]

the commentator sure loves to say 'BABATUNDE'

 

[kamorra]

This thread was much more fun during the last games. Tonight it's shitty. ;(

 

[Roland1979]

Wat

Well i call it a drag since it's not a kick either. But it's probably technically not true and you are just dying to tell me how wrong i am.

 

[Envelope]

The refs have been pretty shit this game tho

 

[FuturusX]

Talking about offside.

I'm down with that as long as it happens quickly within a certain time frame. If 4th ref can't sort a decision quickly he doesn't get to over-rule. Deciding the the line can be done without review though using camera tech. I like that better.

Speaking of offside. I like favouring the attacker as long as it's not too far off-side. Fuck it.

 

[Mory Dunz]

Bosnian players seem about to drop dead. Is it too hot for them?

Dunno, this is crazy. Does anyone know the conditions?

 

[FootballFan]

Completely different move.

 

[Submarino Conversível]

Cuiabá is pretty hot, so probably

Horseback vs. On foot...

horse sports represent what, a .05% of sports out there? who gives a toss about horse sports, being "on foot" is still not a good reason to have american rugby be called "football"

BUT LETS DROP IT PLEASE NO ONE QUOTE ME ANYMORE

 

[snaffles]

Bosnian players seem about to drop dead. Is it too hot for them?

Seems like it, completely static in attack. Getting run all over in defense.

 

[Uzzy]

4th ref could confirm and send the signal.

Could work, provided you got all the cameras right. But the need for a near instant decision would still lead to errors.

 

[Roland1979]

Oh please do pile up.

 

[Bold One]

Dunno, this is crazy. Does anyone know the conditions?

Its pretty humid
