Yeah, i just don't get it - something like this should be a clear red card.

The refs this tournament just suck. They are not good enough so they make tons of wrong calls and they don#t have the balls to show cards. Seriously there should have been tons of yellows for diving already.

Random question as the German stream just mentioned it...why does nobody seem to care about football during the Olympics? Though I'm assuming it's also the case with other hugely commercialized sports such as Basketball and Ice Hockey?

Men's squad can only feature players under 23, except three players can be at any age

However, clubs are not obliged to free those exception players unlike World Cup or other international games.
 
Cameroon are fucking dire. What kind of clearance was that?

Depends where you're from. In Brazil, going to offense with no holds barred is considered "not respecting". Parking the bus is considered being scared, showing too much respect, playing like a small team. Different continents, different values, same sport. ;)

Playing in their first ever FIFA World Cup, Algeria made a major splash on the world's stage in Spain.

Algeria were able to win their first match against West Germany and found themselves extremely close to advancing onto the next group.

But in the final group fixture, the games were played at different times, which allowed West Germany and Austria to learn that a 1-0 West German victory over Austria would be enough to advance onto the next round following a 3-2 Algeria win over Chile.

Within the first ten minutes of their final group stage match, West Germany were able to get a goal before the entire game came to a screeching halt with West Germany and Austria doing nothing else of major significance for the rest of the match.

Due to this, Austria and West Germany advanced over Algeria in a moment that West German manager Jupp Derwall argued "we wanted to progress, not play football."

As a result, all final fixtures in a World Cup group match are played at the same time to prevent this from repeating.
 
Fucking Arno Vermeulen. Says Olic has had hist time in football, while he has been one of the best for Croatia this WC.
