might have to call the next thread Africa strikes back.
 
Just reading up on Pepe, he only got a 10 game ban for what happened vs Getafe? Open corruption.
 
Every goal should be confirmed by video replay, imo. They instituted goal line tech, and it's already confirmed a couple close calls. Time to add instant replay for the 2018 WC.

Main complain from those that object this move is that it might add even more delay to the game. At least that's what I've heard.

Man football games are like 5 hours. Another 30 min in a soccer game won't kill anyone.

The 2 next to him have won world cups!

Can of a manager too. Winning with Celtic is no big deal.
 
Deary me, This English bint is making my ears bleed. Quite the feat considering she's sat right next to Alexei white noise f'n Lalas!!
 
That's incidental contact. The first move by the defender was obstruction.

Its a really a hard call, even after watching some slowmo replays i cannot decide. The touch is so slight, but then enough to make the defenders leg colide with his other leg, so in property it should be a foul. But, in this cases i tend to give priority to the "balls line principle" which helps to resolve every play in football. In this case Amunike got the right line, the ball line, and got his opponent beaten already, so i'd go with the no foul. It could go either way though and as i said, strictly speaking it is a foul.
 
Nigerian tripped the Bosnian defender with his knee. Should have been a Bosnian free-kick and no Nigerian goal.

Any gifs of this situation?

That's a pretty bad excuse...FIFA is shoving the fair play banner in our throats non stop but the actual games arent really played by fair rules when the referees more often than not are those that decide the match.

Did hawk eye made tennis longer?Maybe for 3 minutes a match but it also took human fallibility out of the picture.
 
No instant replay.

Football is a game of motion, timing, and momentum. It's not American football. It would ruin the flow, imo.

A Euro winner as well.

Canavaro and Nesta were the best duo ever.
 
Right, just like the loss to Slovakia in Slovakia, haa?


Barely... History shows we have too many fuckups. France, Mexico, Argentina, tonight.

And then we also have to fight the refs who are big fans of ours...
 
You're stupid, clear foul.
When is tripping someone not a foul.
And then makes some bullshit about obstructing.
It's called guarding the ball, perfectly legal, because he was in front and they were running in same direction.

No wonder you are from CANada.

LOL - rustled much?

Oh and just for your information i lived in italy as a kid and my uncle played in the serie A. jackass.
 
Pjanic is a phenomenal baller.
He deserves a bit of success with one of his plays.
 
And?
You know about football as much as Pope knows about vagina.

i'm pretty sure you know better than a former international referee on bein sport ( french ) who just said it wasn't a foul :wink:
