[gashikunFLCL]

Hattrick!!!

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Hat trick, Wow!

 

[Fergie]

Shakira hat trick.

Nice.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

having only seen that play from the slow motion, was it possible he was putting his foot on the ball to roll it back to avoid the sliding French player....who then kicked the ball from under him causing the stamp?

That's exactly what he was doing. He was trying to stop. He takes a short hop to start the motion and tries to bring his foot down on the ball. The slide totally cut him off in a manner where he wasn't going to stop in time.

 

[inky]

What exactly are you trying to argue here?

Nothing! That's the worst part, he doesn't have a point. He's just trying to invalidate every red card given after that Uruguay challenge because it wasn't a red when EVERYONE here agrees it should have been but the ref didn't give it.

 

[marc^o^]

Rooney is all over France.

What does he say?

 

[-x.Red.x-]

Fucking honduras, worthless

 

[nny]

Shakira, Shakira, Shakira!

 

[nilbog21]

[Tugatrix]

Shakira move that belly in commemoration

Serious foul play
A player is guilty of serious foul play if he uses excessive force or brutality
against an opponent when challenging for the ball when it is in play.
A tackle that endangers the safety of an opponent must be sanctioned as
serious foul play.
Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the
front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force
and endangering the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play.

It was a red. And that foul by France just now should have been a yellow.

 

[CassSept]

Shakira hat trick, nicely done

 

[dani_dc]

Honduras deserved a goal or two, but happy to see Swiss going through (if this ends this way).

 

[Juz]

Giroud not liking the hug :lol

 

[Oersted]

What does he say?

Reach for the stars

 

[WAR recon zero]

Concacaf dream is over. You had one job H

 

[Empty]

pogba pls

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

That FIFA Clubs lobbed through ball leading to the Shakira hat-trick

 

[SunhiLegend]

3-0

 

[Chakan]

Guess that's it. France and Switzerland classified. Unless Ecuador pulls a miracle.

 

[figadapaura]

Fuck me, Paul.

So close.

 

[LNBL]

Lol Pogba.

France has been disappointing tonight

 

[Tugatrix]

france is really bad

they just don't care that much for this game

 

[inky]

Where's that toenail dweller that said honduras are better than most UEFA sides

Pulga?

Spoiler

 

[Raist]

Pogba pls.

 

[Kurtofan]

 

[TCRS]

it's okay honduras, I still love you for your cigars.

the fuck is france doing. so boring.

 

[ActStriker]

RIP Ecuador

 

[Firemind]

Pogba pls

 

[zroid]

lol

 

[CTLance]

That swiss goal looked nice.

Ecuador now needs a win with two goals more than France, with one player less on the field and less than 20 minutes to go.

The odds are stacked against them... and that's putting it mildly.

 

[mreddie]

Too close.

 

[macksplack]

Pogba how the hell do you miss that!

 

[T-Rex.]

I have money on a France win so obviously this is happening.

*Waits for Ecuador winner*

 

[ReConstructDead]

You could tell from Valencia's reaction that he wasn't surprised by the red card and probably expected it.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

It was a red. And that foul by France just now should have been a yellow.

Um, no. Your posted rules say that the player should be lunging or challenging for the ball to be booked. The Ecuadorian player was trying to stop and avoid contact. The call was a bad call.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

France plz

 

[Afrikan]

I would've rather watched Ecuador vs Argentina... because I don't know if Team Shaqiri can beat them.

but still the Swiss earned it... they have had a crazy tourny so far, and they kept their composure and made it through.

 

[Chakan]

Remove Pogba from the game. Damn.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

so France is not in danger of elimination right?

 

[Goldmund]

Come on, Enner!

 

[inky]

Fucking Pogba, that's what I get for putting you in my Fantasy Team. That Iranian defender I subbed in gave me more points than you!

 

[zruben]

What? How is this a good idea? You want to incentive the team to play defensively for 10 minutes?!

that happen in 11vs11 matches too. A 11vs10 moment would still give a team the upper hand if they are ambitious enough.

 

[Roland1979]

IRefs don't have the option to watch slow-mo replays in every angle when they have to take an immediate decision.

And it will be so glorious when they do. That is what goal-line tech has showed us; it works. Now give as video evidence. Step after that is tracking all players and the ball, so every off-side will be a 100% correct call.

 

[figadapaura]

Nothing! That's the worst part, he doesn't have a point. He's just trying to invalidate every red card given after that Uruguay challenge because it wasn't a red when EVERYONE here agrees it should have been but the ref didn't give it.

lol okay, I'll just ignore him then.
