"Fuck this ref for calling the game tightly"

 

[LNBL]

Yellows coming out now, good call

 

[Jimmyfenix]

If Brazil loses this....Howard webb needs to run and fast

 

[Sadist]

The tension is gooood

 

[BlindRage]

Brazil racking up the yellows

*claps*

 

[Ingeniero]

Damnit Luis Gustavo

 

[Ikuu]

Brazil trying to cheat their way past Chile.

 

[Insane Metal]

Wow, brazil robbed? That's new... lol

That wasn't a handball. It was on his shoulder.

 

[mreddie]

Yep, yellow.

 

[DukeBobby]

That ref is so dead if Brazil loses

He's Agent 47, so he'll be okay.

 

[Juz]

Good call imo

 

[KingSnake]

Anyway, the referee is anything but giving an advantage to Brazil.

 

[Fergie]

Paulinho next if they qualify.

 

[Mohonky]

Missed the other angle. But of it hits his bicep, its a handball right?

Anything below shoulder is a handball yeh. Technically it should be called arm ball because the entire arm is counted really.

 

[Xater]

Yep was a handball. Webb has eagle eyes.

 

[lastflowers]

still seems like a harsh yellow for that. Often you raise your arm like that to direct your chest to chest it

 

[FuturusX]

We need video refs!

*looks at replay*

Yeah erm...

 

[Rubenov]

Viewing from the right angle it clearly hit his bicep.

Correct call let's move on please.

 

[Baleoce]

"Fuck this ref for calling the game tightly"

Basically, it's kind of funny.

 

[GunBR]

You can't use your arm like that to stop the ball's natural movement.

Your chest, sure, but not put your arm up like he did. Right call by the ref.

Yes, you CAN use your shoulder that way

 

[BlueTsunami]

You can see his bicep and tricep jiggle in the GIF at impact, right call

 

[TheFatOne]

Wow, brazil robbed? That's new... lol

That wasn't a handball. It was on his shoulder.

The other angle is clearer. It hit his bicep. Clearly a hand ball

 

[flyover]

I love that Gustavo is Star Trek evil universe Nani.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Yes.

Yeah then ref clearly got it right. No room for a legit argument on that one.

 

[figadapaura]

No
Any part of the shoulder isn't hand by the rules

Fuck the ref

It was a good call, mate.

 

[Kensuke]

Chile has more possession than in the first half. Are they getting better or did Brazil stop pressing?

 

[justjohn]

Howard Webb has been living off his reputation for a few years now. He was probably one of the worst referees in the premier league last season.

 

[sooperkool]

Can you guys clarify this for me. Yellow cards from the group stage are wiped out at the quarters, are yellows from knockout also wiped again?

 

[Nemesis121]

If Brazil loses Webb better run and hide..

 

[PopeReal]

They guy put his hand, shoot, and go celebrate.... and nothing until the ref finally blows the whistle. It took too long.

Who cares when it is the correct call.

 

[Fergie]

Chile should try short set-pieces.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

You can see his bicep and tricep jiggle in the GIF, right call

In theory, your bicep and tricep could jiggle if something hits your shoulder.

 

[gutter_trash]

scolari is so annoying.

coming from the guys whose manager is a serial nose picker

 

[AsylumX]

If they only show that one on TV is because he stopped it with his arm...

 

[Insane Metal]

The other angle is clearer. It hit his bicep. Clearly a hand ball

Not at all

 

[Ingeniero]

Chile can't attack at all.

 

[Ikuu]

Yep was a handball. Webb has eagle eyes.

Webb didn't call it.

 

[Baleoce]

I love that Gustavo is Star Trek evil universe Nani.

lmao, i'm glad i wasn't the only one to think that

 

[DrForester]

Man, this ref has a perpetual "I am so sick of this shit" look about him.

 

[Konosuke]

Game is turning ugly fast. Scolari needs to cool Brazil somehow.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Since when did "hand" turn into "hair follicles on arm"?

Cause it's not really about hand balling, can't control it with your arm either.

 

[BKJest]

Can you guys clarify this for me. Yellow cards from the group stage are wiped out at the quarters, are yellows from knockout also wiped again?

No one will miss the finals for a yellow card he received in the semis.

 

[Mesousa]

Chile getting stuck in

 

[Roland1979]

No
Any part of the shoulder isn't hand by the rules

Fuck the ref

I just looked it up, one result said outer shoulder is arm.

 

[meanspartan]

anyone got a stream link that works in USA for me?

 

[SgtCobra]

Howard Webb hasn't done fine in a long time. I'm surprised they're even giving him this chance after 2010.

Today he is. Also, fine is not saying really much

 

[figadapaura]

We need video refs!

*looks at replay*

Yeah erm...

Good thing a video ref would actually be a trained referee and not a someone posting on GAF.

 

[derwalde]

coming from the guys whose manager is a serial nose picker

yourr absolutely right. löw is disgusting and annoying as fuck. but that doesnt make scolari less annoying.

 

[Scotch]

Howard Webb has been living off his reputation for a few years now. He was probably one of the worst referees in the premier league last season.

That's nice, but he called the handball correctly.

 

[Mohonky]

Bite him!
