so France is not in danger of elimination right?

Nope. They can lose and still qualify.

 

[Wilbur]

Pulga?

Spoiler

lool

I don't remember his name. I don't care for the follies of mortal men.

 

[Oersted]

so France is not in danger of elimination right?

Yes

 

[mellz]

What exactly are you trying to argue here?

Eh WoodenLung said we shouldn't compare different tackles and I was arguing that of course you have to and that's what you do at referee courses to know how to punish different stuff.

 

[Shoogoo]

they just don't care that much for this game

They do care.

 

[meanspartan]

I know I am a bit late to the party on this one, but holy shit Pirlo is only 35? He looks way older!

Will be missed, legendary player.

 

[Juz]

Shakira delivering finally in this WC.

Been really unimpressive before today.

 

[SkylineRKR]

And it will be so glorious when they do. That is what goal-line tech has showed us; it works. No give as video evidence. Step after that is tracking all players and the ball, so every off-side will be a 100% correct call.

In true FIFA fashion we'll have video technology by 2030.

 

[macksplack]

so France is not in danger of elimination right?

Correct.

 

[Resident_UA]

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

At least that's game changing. You set up tactics for the remainder of the game. 10 minutes is just random.

 

[CraigerGamer]

Pogba no.

 

[Navy Bean]

What... Having a yellow impacts the way you are able to play the rest of the match quite a bit... and if you collect enough yellows through several matches you will get a suspension anyway. Off for 10 minutes? Fuck no.

I'm talking about the match at hand. No real penalty for yellow except you can't be an asshole for the rest of the game. I dunno, questionable reds just have such an enormous impact on games.

Not unless Ecuador scores 6 goals.

 

[Chris R]

Ecuador needs help now from Honduras.

 

[Patriots7]

France looks poor. Guess those first two games were flukes.

 

[patapuf]

Not unless Ecuador scores 7 goals.

and Switzerland a few more too.


Edit: actually, i don't think that's right.

If the ref saw the tackle like we did it would have been a red...from what he saw he obviously thought it was a yellow.

No use comparing.

 

[fasTRapid]

Those are the rules in your book. Not the rules of the game. Sorry bud

I just translated that from the FIFA book, but okay, if you say so.

This says nothing about the cards.

Sorry forgot to add them, lol. But somebody already said it, always yellow, when you hit the opponent first (what I wrote about) and studs up/straight leg = red (going for the opponent, no chance at the ball)

 

[macksplack]

France is not even trying.

 

[Shoogoo]

Dive o'clock for Honduras

 

[Smiles and Cries]

hmmm watched the wrong match but had no other choice only one stream available

 

[zroid]

Benzy denied

 

[Empty]

subbing off griezmann. dechamps you monster.

France looks poor. Guess those first two games were flukes.

valbuena ties everything together

 

[Firemind]

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.

Oh dear. Are you Valencia?

 

[flintstryker]

Eh WoodenLung said we shouldn't compare different tackles and I was arguing that of course you have to and that's what you do at referee courses to know how to punish different stuff.

I am pretty certain what Wooden is saying is that comparing these two in particular is silly because it is more than likely that the Ref in the Uruguay match fucked up rather than that its not a red.

 

[Magni]

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.

How was he not lunging or challenging for the ball when he touched the ball, as everyone in the "THAT WASN'T A RED!" camp pointed out?

 

[Raist]

and Switzerland a few more too.


Edit: actually, i don't think that's right.

If Ecuador scores 6, France would have a 0 GD. So even if Switzerland stops scoring they'd be through with Ecuador.

 

[Broder Salsa]

It's not as if that Uruguay challenge is going to go under the "challenges that are yellow cards" video category at the refs meeting.... What is your point then? I said you shouldn't compare a clear ref mistake, with other challenges, saying only challenges worse than the Uruguay one should be a red. You shouldn't do that cause it's a clear mistake that he wasn't shown a red. It's not that hard.

 

[marc^o^]

valbuena ties everything together

That match makes it too obvious.

 

[krYlon]

Oh dear. Are you Valencia?

Valencia accepted the decision, he knew it was a red lol

 

[pulga]

Those fans trading shirts was awesome <3

lool

I don't remember his name. I don't care for the follies of mortal men.

does...does this mean I'm immortal?

 

[Hoo-doo]

France is fucking horrible. Jesus.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

How was he not lunging or challenging for the ball when he touched the ball, as everyone in the "THAT WASN'T A RED!" camp pointed out?

He had possession of the ball already. He wasn't challenging for a ball! I'm not sure why people are acting like this was a 50/50 ball and he lunged to go and get it. He was trying to stop his run to avoid a player coming under him. Watch it again. Please.

 

[CTLance]

Mad respect for the Ecuadorian goalie. He's been doing a very good job.

Also fuck me, he's tall. Looks almost too big for the goal.

 

[fasTRapid]

Phew, BENAGLIO!

 

[Xpike]

god damn honduras just can't score in this game

 

[mellz]

I am pretty certain what Wooden is saying is that comparing these two in particular is silly because it is more than likely that the Ref in the Uruguay match fucked up rather than that its not a red.

Well maybe we misunderstood each other cause I meant we have to compare different kind of tackles in general, and he said no. that's what I was arguing, not the Caceres tackle in that case.

 

[Broder Salsa]

I'm talking about the match at hand. No real penalty for yellow except you can't be an asshole for the rest of the game. I dunno, questionable reds just have such an enormous impact on games.

Well... I really don't agree with it not having an impact. Playing with a yellow is horrible for any player that has more defensive duties. and I don't agree with many questionable reds so far either, I might already have forgotten one, but I really can't remember any red that I still don't agree with being a red this world cup. There has been lots of other mistakes though, especially with offsides.

Well maybe we misunderstood each other cause I meant we have to compare different kind of tackles in general, and he said no. that's what I was arguing, not the Caceres tackle in that case.

Yet that is the very thing you did in your first post.

 

[Empty]

why

 

[Chakan]

Arroyo is pissed.

 

[LNBL]

Oehh come on mannnnn, France is so bad tonight lolz

 

[Diprosalic]

so France is not in danger of elimination right?

no but they can lose #1.

 

[SkylineRKR]

The danger with a b-squad and playing like this is that it disrupts the flow you so desperately need in a tournament.

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

Holy fuck, Honduras should have scored there. Straight at Benaglio

 

[Firemind]

I just translated that from the FIFA book, but okay, if you say so.

Sorry forgot to add them, lol. But somebody already said it, always yellow, when you hit the opponent first (what I wrote about) and studs up/straight leg = red (going for the opponent, no chance at the ball)

'No chance' is pretty vague, mate. At any rate, you don't have to hit the ball to not get a red card.

 

[gutter_trash]

France has not been tested yet, they are in for a wake-up call in the Quarter Finals

 

[QuicheFontaine]

Arroyo is pissed.

He blasted into orbit there

 

[John Dunbar]

i have two bets, i will win if either of these teams win.

it's a fucking draw.

 

[dvdjamm]

Missed it by that...much
