>Ends any potential interest in soccer in America forever35 years of massive shilling, billions of dollars investment, and FIFAs desperate attempts to build up interest, all collapsed by one decision
>>156086403Nigga moment
>>156086403>bosnia runs a literal pick play, no card>us player touches a bosnian, straight red
what is that dumb nigger doing
>>156086403He's Left The Ref No Choice Here, Jeff.
>>156086403shut up and host the games
>>156086403Why did Trump pay off the refs?
>>156086403This shit isn’t even a redThese refs all fucking tournament have been fucking dogshit
>>156086403Idk looks like a dangerous foul, stepping on his ankleMessi got away with one of those the other day, but not everyone can be riggitini
>>156086403Can a Euro or Mexican explain if red cards ever get retroactively undone post game? This seems like a no brainer. I hope Trump tweets about it assuming we don't lose
>>156086403the decision of Balogun to try and snap a guy's ankle?
I thought WE were supposed to be rigging it, what the fuck is this shit?
>>156086403i stopped watching the match after that red. i just don't care anymore who wins the matchabsolutely retarded officiating and clearly rigged as fuck
im genuinely demoralizedI wanted my country to care about this sportany neutral is going to look at this and write the sport off for yearswhy does this sport have to be so fucking soft and gay sometimes
>>156086754ah yes because he clearly came down on his ankle like that on purposefucking retard
>>156086750Undone, no BUT they can decide that's 'violent conduct' and ban him for more than the one game (the next) that he's already banned for. And desu, that's 50-50 on that tackle.
>>156086965Yeah this is so fucking dumb
samefag or is everyone just baiting in this threadthe guy's ankle fucking snapped in half, why aren't you calling Balogun a dumb nigger
>>156087001Intent doesn’t matter retard
>>156086757this wtfthe hosts usually do the rigging
>The US is winning the match?! RED ALERT RED ALERT DEPLOY EMERGENCY RED CARDyeah this gay cumguzzling sport ain't for me lads
>>156086403correct decision*
>>156087108yes is does, bitch
wow it's almost like Trump doesn't actually care about soccer and is only using this as a flex to stick it to the NFL
>>156087108Well it probably should? Do they give you a fucking red card if your head accidentally collides with a guy going for a header too?Semen slurping faggot
>*snap*yep that's going in my nigga moment collection
>>156087105because he didn't do it on purpose
kwab
>>156087108You're fucking gay
They bogged the game. Fifa is corrupt as fuck.
>>156086707Yeah and FIFA seems to not get we are really not into this favoritism thing for any sport. Fans have forced leagues to change rules before over precieved favortismIt just looks real bad and makes people lose interest
The arbitrary nature of stuff like this and stoppage time contrasted with the extreme autism of VAR is such a weird contradiction.
so they review a bit of contact but they don't review a potential score?this sport is extremely fucking shit
>>156087233it literally does not.
>>156086403Messi does this and not even a yeallow
>>156087440the offsides are auto-reviewed more quickly
>>156087233>>156087262>>156087328Hope you casuals never watch this sport again after this Sorry you can’t just chimp out or whatever
>>156086403gay sport, like my elders always said
Absolute fucking bullshit anti-American play. The refs are Brazillian/Argentinian apparently, so they want to fuck over the US because they don't want us to challenge them for continental supremacy. Rigged as fuck.
fuck this sport rigged against americafifa has it out for us seriously no joke its fucked up
>>156087108so you can be ejected from a game through 0 fault of your own. instantly. no appeal. what kind of fuckass sport is this? a casino game?
this game should've been a 4-0 blowout with no red cards
>>156086403you're a fucking faggot
>>156087397>Yeah and FIFA seems to not get we are really not into this favoritism thing for any sportwhat does this even mean, what favoritism was there in this moment
>>156087612>intent doesn't matter (basically agreeing he had no intent to harm)>chimping out isn't allowed!pick one slurper, also we're going to beat your faggot teams anyway
>>156087108if that's true, then why even bother wasting time on this "sport"?>hurr durr the ref said something on accident out of your control that you did with no intent means you are ejected and miss the next gamewhy even bother?
>>156087675>The refs are Brazillian/Argentinian apparently, so they want to fuck over the US because they don't want us to challenge them for continental supremacylmaoNever happening
>please let the Americans like the sport so they can rape it with ads, """hydration""" breaks and sports betting even harder
>>156087262This is my biggest problem with the call, if theyre going to break down frame by frame with VAR, can they not see he's not even looking or reacting to stomping his ankle? Do non-athlete sportsball watchers realize accidental contact exists in sports?
>>156087542again…why? this adds a mechanic to the game where basically, by playing, every player has a base 10% chance of being inst-banned randomly. how is that fun or fair?
>>156087612>auslard bootlicking this hardyikes
>>156087878Don’t play dangerously it’s that simple
i think that was racially motivated>american xenophobia>anti black biasnot trolling or unironic this was sus
Lmao yuropoors trying to rig itNIGGAS MAD USA USA USA
certified KWAB bologum moment
>wins 2-0>still cries and seethes about muh lost interest bcs some ngubu got a red
>>156088434The Brazilian ref is just shitposting irl, he even reached into his pocket to fake out the Americans thinking they were going to card Bosnia
>>156088268Nigga shut yo bitch ass up and keep watching from your couch rasta bomboclaat
>>156088305I agree with you in principle but they usually hand out reds for these kind of stomping fouls so I don't think it was riggi. The slow-mo video makes it look horrendous and the refs sort of just have to give a red
>>156088057Messi should have gotten a red card but did not because he is their marketable starNot different then what Ohtani can get away withPeople here HATE that
>>156088351Yes I think the rules should be enforced
even though the US won, having an arbitrary judgment call completely dictate the game in such an overwhelming matter ruins this gay sport.American sports have heavily reduced any sort of arbitrary nature out of the sports here over the years. And var is garbage as a replay tool, an MLB strikezone challenge takes 5 seconds
*Ouchie!*
>>156086403Delusional mutt melty in this thread, beware
Soccer (not football) is dying out everywhere. Every Europoor team is filled with blacks because no one else wants to play. Only Latin Americans give a shit about this so-called "sport". If FIFA loses America, they lose everything. Have fun with your dead "sport".
>>156088630yeah surely you wouldn't complain if your top goal scorer got a red on a total semen slurp and you lost them for your next gameoh wait you fucking lost to a team we beat 4-1
>>156088366this is bait. you have to by design of the game, thats literally how you play. if you dont play “dangerously” in this sense, you lose. there’s a very similar problem in gridiron football with receivers. the rules have watered down the options for defenders to such an arbitrary state that a minor difference of opinions can change a no-call into a drive-saving call. except its not as bad there because defensive players aren’t auto ejected for pass interference. if, however, you play it “completely safe” you will get run over by mahomes, burrow, and every other quarterback in the league because they can easily hit those targets with a one foot gap every time. you know as well as I do the same is true in association football. This is how you physically have to play the game.
>>156086403What about this guys?or only bbc can be a famous sports athlete in the amerimutt land?
>>156086403They add 10 mins of extra time as well xD never seen such shit
Lol I get it now, this sport is like the nba where they let superstars get away with everything. I dont think this semen slurping sport is for me
>>156086403This is a pussy sport and I just lost all respect for it. Ejections for glorified tripping is pathetic.
>>156086965>>why does this sport have to be so fucking soft and gay sometimesSometimes? Soccer is the softest, wettest baby of all sports. There’s a reason nobody here watches this fairy shit.
>>156088885Prefaced with soccer is gay, you can get penalized and fined for completely unintentional helmet to helmet contact
>+10 minutesRigged as fuck. 100%. These refs should be banned
>>156087675its our best ref anon, if he gave a had odds are that are
>>156086403>Americans defending a black attacking a white manTypical Americuck mentality
>>156088719>people hate that>ohtani single-handedly saving the mlbwhat did anon mean by this
>>156086640Why would trump want soccer to die? You know he has a beef with the NFL, right?
>get rigged as fuck by refs who are biased as fuck against you>still up 2-0USA USA USA USA USA USA USA
>>156086403>My "Team" is a bunch of nogs >Many of whom don't even seem to live in the USA. And even if they did they'd hate it because whitepeepo be bad n shit>I tune in. Constant oscar seeking dive crybabies>Seriously like 5 appeals to the ref in 10 minutes of playNah fuuck this gay sport.
>>156088865yeah maybe your top scorer shouldn't be randomly snapping a guy's ankle in half
>>156086403Hating the reffs and thinking everything is rigged is an essential part of balonpie
>>156088885It’s a red in any era of the game If you want to watch NFL then watch NFL
>>156086403You get ejected from the game AND suspended for the next for accidentally stepping on someone (no injury) in the world cup. euros have no idea what they're doing they can't run this sport. Awful ruling that does nothing good for the game.
>>156089100>noooooooooooo...>I should be allowed to behave like a monkey and potentially cause carrer ending injuries to other playersDumb amerimutt. Caring for other players integrity is the ultimate form of sportsmanship
>>156089406if that was a red then turkey should have been called for reds in the group stage when they were tackling our players
i thought flopping in the nba was bad but this is next level. how can anyone watch this "sport" lol
>black hockey player literally slits the throat of a white man and kills him in a game>not even a foul>black guy taps another brown guy on the leg>red cardmake it make sense
>americans learning football is one of the gayest sports on earth with biggest drama queens
Does Mr. Claus know that we send people to prison in America for a long time for match fixing?
Truly a girls sport.
>>156089179thats still far better than this dogshit. at least football gives you a warning before ejecting you, like every other proper sport ever. you arent ejected for one targeting violation. but in soccer you can trip over someone’s shoes and get thrown out because your “dangerous behavior” is “threatening the well-being of other players”. its truly a European sport: if you trip it is indicative of a lower genetic or class-inherent defect and you must be removed from the game (society) for your own safety. In america its, look, everybody falls down you just gotta get back up. everybody makes mistakes you just gotta learn from them. in the euro-reich however if you err or embarrass even once you are subhuman and clearly always were.
>>156087612They are right, it's a contact sport retard
>>156089445>career endingholy fuck, you soccer fags are such pussies it is pathetic
jesus christ FIFA REALLY hates us
>>156088719>People here HATE thatyeah everyone here hated Michael Jordan and Tom Brady and Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez and they hate LeBron James and Jeff Gordon and Will Power and and and
>>156086403Nigga you APPLIED to host the games, nobody asked you
>>156089649You have no idea just how bad it is in europe and gets worse every year. Ppl on this continent are idiotic soulless lemmings
>>156089217This was in Kuwait before they knew he was American.He'd be way more famous if he was caught like this lmao
>wins with 10 playersIt was scripted to make you care about the sport
>>156089603This, I haven't watched much divegrass outside of the world cup but now I know its nba rigged and not nfl rigged.
>>156089797basednever been to poland but i heard you have the best country over there
The worst part about the red is that he's fucking next game too. Why are you penalized TWO games for a single act in ONE game
Red cards should be for truly unsportsmanlike behavior like you know headbutting someone in the chest. Accidental stepping/tripping? Really? Awful.
>>156089445this is exactly what I mean by this being a Euro sport. accidents are not just accidents, they are indicative of reckless behavior and a clear inherent underlying illness within the “perpetrator” who clearly caused all this because they are a petulant child who needs to be put away and protected by the nanny state.
>>156086403What happened to #4? If he continued playing, I want the ref sent to gitmo
>>156088754>American sports have heavily reduced any sort of arbitrary nature out of the sports here over the yearslmaowhen you say "arbitrary" you mean "subjective" and there are major subjective elements in literally every sanctioned team sports in this countryI feel like a ton of you guys spend most of your time calling sports "sportsball" and just came to squat on this board from /int/, get the fuck off my board
>>156089947The Black man is still fighting for freedom
>>156089445If that ends a career, then he deserves it ended.Second the word your looking for is health, not integrity. A sport that requires people to pull punches with never be a real sport.
I hate this white supremacist country roads song. Sweet Caroline sucks too. And Mr Brightside
>>156086403god you're dumb, never post again jamal.
>>156090136Of course he kept playing, all these pussies do is flop
>>156089649>you arent ejected for one targeting violationlol?
>>156090128Why do mutts go full schizo whenever they get rattled.
>>156089947They're going to appeal it, literally everyone and their mother is saying its a horrid call.>>156089977Yeah straight reds are RARE and it's why people are calling bullshit. Straight reds are borderline you have to openly swing at someone or be completely flagrant.
Just ban americans from the cup.It's not worth interacting with them.
>>156087108Anons mad cause he told the truth. Even in handegg and basketball, even if you didnt mean to injure a player you can still get ejected for doing something royally stupid.
>>156089797or they’re just baiting. wasnt the cup being praised for cracking down on flopping which was designed itself to exploit these dumb rules? at least make it so no immediate red cards unless these guys are fighting on the field. but honestly I would not be surprised that if a player attacks another player and starts beating the crap out of him, both players would be red-carded. because both were involved in a fight. typical high school principal shit.
>>156090461We don’t care
>>156090461>players are so soft they can't be stepped on>fans are so soft they need to ban people who call their shit shitSemenSlurpingSport
>>156090317Ok so can you explain why pic related was not a red card then?
>>156086403Such a fucking moronic decision that will severely dampen the hype for the next matchFIFA really are the biggest fucking soimen on the planet
Im glad this happened. The less the US embraces commie povertyball nonsense the better my life is.>Kill soccer>Behead soccer>Put soccer in a blender>Drop kick soccer>Stab soccer with a knife>Run soccer over with a car
>>156090367aint the rule two and youre out
>>156090461>lives in a favela>thinks his opinion will ever be relevant
>>156090602It shouldn't be. Neither should be. This sport is gay.
>>156087108so the messi argument is actually valid
You can't compete as hard as you can in this sport you must dance around like fairy's desperately avoiding any accidental contact...OR ELSE SUBJECTIVE REF STEPS IN AND RUINS YOUR WORLD CUP.
>>156086403if you think that's accidental you might be biased towards people of a certain race
>>156089726unfortunately no one has ever injured you forcing you to lie in bed all day and walk with crutches so you'd know what it's like
My dad switched to the brewers. A 64 year old man who had never cared about soccer, bought into the hype a bit in groups, instantly got disinterested the moment they said "gone for next game" and changed to the Brewers off that "Faggy Euro Sport"Soccer is just not compatable with American sports mindset. Let them fucking play.
>>156086592YOU KNOW WHAT FAGGOT NEXT TIME YOU'RE IN MY COUNTRY I WILL FIND YOU AND MAKE YOU EAT A SMOKED BRISKET SANDWHICH WITH MAC AND CHEESE AND A SLICE OF CORNBREAD
>>156089739People hate Jeff Gordon because he's not a retarded hick like the rest of NASCAR and the seethe about the T-Rex car
>we will have to endure a whole tournament of american soccer scholars enlightening the rest of the world about how a game they don't care about is playedIt's all so tiresome. Also I hope it's actually rigged so>wewin.
>>156090639>>156089217>>156089319These posters are based.
>>156090677you're out with 1 upheld targeting call no matter what, the thing about 1 or 2 only refers to how many games you miss afterwards
Kek this sport is so gay, can't believe it's all thirdies care about. Though it is funny our rejects from more important sports are still better than the squads of most countries.
>>156090285
>>156090461YOU ARE RIGGING ITYOU WILL LOSE IN THR FINAL KARMA
>>156086403that's what they get for letting a butthurt brazilian ref the game lol
>>156087317that's what negros say when they kill or rob somone
Is there any appeal process..or does one refs bad decision really have this much power over the world cup.
>>156090419>straight reds are RARE and it's why people are calling bullshit. Straight reds are borderline you have to openly swing at someone or be completely flagrantanother tourist who hasn't even been watching this tournament, just heard from a friend of a friend of a friend that the US was playing tonight
>>156088865You should teach your negroes how not to commit unnecessary violence on the field, it's not that hard...
>>156086403ouch
>>156090979no they say they dindu nuffin
>>156090419>straight reds are rareYou are gay and retarded kys
>>156091012You're retarded and I'm going to laugh when the red is appealed and overturned.
>>156090737Broke my ankle in high school, shit happens. I didn't blame the guys on the D line who were just trying to make a play. This level of "protection" makes the NFL's bullshit QB protection look good.
>>156090853a pitcher accidentally hitting a Brewers batter in the head would get fined and suspended while you guys scream bloody murder
>>156091019fuck off you frog bitch. youd be speaking german if it werent for us, shut your fucking mouth. you people always seethe at us
>>156089217This became a meme here for how cucked Kuwaitis are.
>>156089649America is the last bastion of free men
>>156086501This. Abysmally officiated game.
>>156091131>Happens about once every 10-15 games>Not rareLmao.XD.Lmfao even.Take off your proxy Rahjeesh. We all know that flag isnt yours.
>>156091168Because batters have died to a pitch to the head. This guy rolled his ankle and is fine.
>>156086403My issue is more of the fact that fucking Messi did in this tournament with no god damn penalty himself.
>>156087108>this retardedHaha that's why you fucking losers are watching it from home
>>156086707Riggi's foul was not as dangerous as thisIt looked ugly but honestly he just scraped the guy's calfThis twisted an ankle, potential career ender
>>156091148nigger they give out reds for covering your mouth in this tournament, just has not happened to the UShow many times has that been appealed, probably all of them. how many times has the appeal been successful, nonethis is an open-and-shut case, get the fuck over it. next man in
>>156090727Americans at hyper cucked and worship black men.Its beyond pathetic, they're all circumsized cucks.
>>156091292when, fucking 1875? fuck out of here
>>156091168https://youtu.be/q21t8WPfXXU?si=mpi06dULj6hOqu7UDidn't even come out of the game until a few batters later
I'm glad americans are still in the tournament so we can enjoy their seethe for longerwait till Belgiums ngubus fuck you anally
>>156086403couldnt watch the match on tv so i ended up reading r/soccer, people over there are talking about appealing this and getting trump to help
>>156086965dude, he raked the fucking achilles of that other player using the studs of his bootsif it was basketball, it would also be a flagrant foul (or whatever it's called)
>>156086965It's a south american sport, of course it's one of the most corrupt, blatantly bullshit sports in the world. I've seen street rules kindergarten soccer have fairer more objectively followed rules.
>>156091019>teach black people not to be violentIm sure the next trillion dollars will fix then
Can we get the blacks to riot and get the red card overturned like when a black guy gets killed by police? They will overturn it retroactively, making a special exception for a black American, the most oppressed group in the history of the world.
>>156091019No way a Fr*ncoid is trying to tell people about dangerous play lmao
>>156090727You're dragging race into it. Fuck you. I hope we beat the whitest team in the cup to shut you nazis up
>literally every retired player saying he shouldn't be cardedyeah it's retarded, I don't see how anybody could call it a red. Without intent I think it's a yellow at most.
>>156086403Now that the dust has settled, still this and still completely unironically
>>156087317This is the reason why the game will never catch on. Just forget about that. Hosting every 20 years is what it is. Going down to 10 players is just too gay and we are already pretty gay so that says a lot.Fuck soccer. I almost became a fan. Truth is, the Belgium Senegal match was even worse at the end with the penalty. It's just too gay. No thank you.
>>156089227there's literally going to be a lockout next season because of ohtanihe killed it
The bigger problem than just flopping, diving, and acting being awarded is that the award is literally game-deciding. A penalty kick with a 90% goal success rate or a red card. In basketball, if a player successfully flops or acts for a foul the most that happens is 2 free throws, which is less than 2% of the points that their team will score that game
>>156091383Covering your mouth and hurling slurs isnt the same as contact in a contact sport.It will be overturned/downgraded into a yellow.Cope and seethe.
>>156087105Red is doing it on purpose to inflict harm, not "they had a bad boo boo". If you are confused, watch the blind side tackle to reminder yourself what a red is supposed to be for.
>>156087878just don't step on other player's ankle
>>156091306The difference is that the player walked off after the foul.In this case the player was so injured they even had to check the VAR.Your nigga would have been safe without that, but it just shows how much of a dangerous stomp was that
>>156086403It was obviously an accident too, red cards are uncompetitive and fucking gay, the refs are giving them out way too liberally this WC.
after the whole group stage and the knockouts until now it's *extremely* obvious FIFA instructs refs to favor europeon teams (and Messi)don't know why I was expecting anything else desu
also another thing i read on r/soccer is that this apparently happens every game and doesnt get punished
>>156086403Next game has a asterisk. Nice job FIFA.
>US getting too good?>suspended their best player
>>156091596Yes retard, they are game deciding because they DON'T want you to do the fouls that are punished with benulties and red cards.
>>156091278Nice stats, did chatgpt give it to you? All red cards in this season have been straight reds, 12 of them to be exact alone which is more than a lot of the previous seasons.
>>156091623>Is that>Contact?>In my contact sport?>AHHHHHHHH SAVE ME RIGGI KEKITINI
>>156087612I am happily never watching this sport again. We would need massive rule changes. It's just not for us, but thanks I guess.
>>156091596I thought they were cracking down on flopping too after that first US game where they actually gave a player a yellow card for flopping, but then I've never seen that again.
>>156089227no, not exactly. he’s really good, generational player sure but we probably wont have a 2027 season because of him and neither side is interested in fixing the problem. baseball is on life support.
I'm surprised soccer cleats don't have more protection on top because they were all stomping on each other's toes. You'd think they would be bloody and in pain getting their toes stomped on by cleats.
>>156091380Only because he's a midget without the weight to crush someone's ankle like Balogun.
>>156091657Believe it or not players step on each other when in close proximity sometimes.
>>156091657This kind of mistake has to be INTENTIONAL to be punished. The ref has $10k on Bosnia
How big do you reckon #4's phallus is?
I hate my nigger worshiping countrymen like you would not believe.
>>156091696You can literally look it up on multiple statistics sights, Rahjeesh.No need to seethe.
>>156088268
>>156087878It's a sport for homos.. just don't watch. Don't care.
>>156086403Killed all my interest in the tournament. Might watch our game against Belgium but otherwise I don't give a shit and even that I might skip. Every single game has the worst refereeing imaginable.
>>156091759niggers are good at sports blame god we didn't make the rules.
USA FOREVER
>>156091730>>156091736idk man that looks bad i dont think it happens every games, americans are kinda delusional but not as canadians. before you attack me im neutral on you guys(i posted my chart here yesterday)
>>156091601>Covering your mouth and hurling slurs isnt the same as contact in a contact sport.You're right, the former is less severe than the latter. Still it would have been appealed and still the appeals were not successful. You and the other fags coping and seething seem to think we'll have to play the next match with 10 men now, because you're retarded tourists
>>156091717The cleats are moulded plastic, they're not *that* dangerous and the fabric used is pretty tough synthetic stuff
>>156086592>posted from englandtoo yuropoor for a ticket huh? kek
>stick your ankle underneath the opponent's path>free power play the rest of the gameSTART DOING THIS
>>156086403Americans will be shocked to hear this, but the rest of the world considers this a good thing. You bring your "my way or the highway" attitude into everything and now we have "hydration breaks" with more ads to simulate your nonexistent attention span and love for insane consumerism. The rest of the world played football long before the bald jew wanted you to play it too, and we'll play it long after you've gone back to your own shit sports.
>>156091759rigging rhymes with nigging and soccer is rigged (nigged)
>>156091717Can't have too much protection because it would make it harder to kick a ball
>>156091769>look it upOh really you wanna go that route? >https://football-observatory.com/IMG/sites/mr/mr57/en/Was in 2020, detailed report but across all leagues its around 1 out of 4 games. Heres all the stats ya ever need. Cope. Seethe. Dialate. Kill yourself
>>156091799There isn't a single game where it appears the ref is objective. You either have refs that call nothing ever, or you have refs trying to fix the match. Never seen a ref that actually refs based on the written rules against both teams. Truly a horrible sport to watch.
>>156091777Checked and kekd
>>156091596we were up 1-0 and we won 2-0 after the redyou guys are schizotic
>>156091828It does look painful I'm fine with him getting ejected but to be suspended next game is pretty extreme in my opinion.
>>156091727It wouldn't have twisted the ankle regardless of weight or forceThe point of contact was a lot higher
>>156091171Stop lying fat fuck, soviets saved us, you didn't do shit.
Holly shit americans really are a bunch of loutish uneducated fucks
>>156090921>rejects from more important sportsWhat sports exactly?. None of those guys play in the NBA or NFL. And baseball requires very different skills.
thank god this red card just saved football, now retarded americans will go back watching NFL and they won't try to implement their stupid rules like quarter-time in our sport
>>156091691They should probably just prevent anyone from playing the game if they don't want people to go for the ball.
>>156091609no, red is to disincentivize reckless play such as going in studs upyou can still put in a reckless challenge even if you have no intent to actually hurt your opponentwatch the sport more than once (a few times at that) every 4 years
>>156091929what date did the soviets march into paris again?
>>156089406not a lot of people seem to think its a straight red now. and besides precedent doesnt make fair play. I compared to the NFL because the NFL faced a similar problem but had a different approach to handling it that doesnt amount to auto-ejecting every safety or wide-out ever. soccer on the other hand doesnt seem to care all that much about playing the sport.
>>156091717getting stomped on definitely hurts but every player prioritises having the lightest and comfiest boots possible
>>156088268Your island is a resort that relies on our vacation money to maintain relevance.
>>156091881>>156091988hydration breaks will be in the next cup and there's nothing you can do about it kek
>>156091156I've spent a lot of time bed ridden and with crutches and I was filled with hate during every minute of it
>>156091856oh ok
>>156091736unless the ref is thinking ahead and gonna bet on Belgium
why are you all crying ? it was a clear red card
>>156086965well, it's on you.do you think Uruguayans care about red cards? they know they are committing fouls left and right. You guys just don't want to admitted, typical american didn't do nothing BS
>>156091959The just worship blacks.If it was a white guy attacking a black guy Americans would be acting the exact opposite.
>>156091881we are happy to host, since we have at least 30 massive stadiums not including university level stadiums. But this knockout stage, all the games except the England one today, were total ref dominated shit shows. I have even less interest in the game than I did two weeks ago. Just way to fucking stupid, and we have plenty of stupid shit to pay attention to already. Have fun with your soccer.
>>156092056maybe sports aren't for you
If you think that was a red you are just a hater. He barely touched him
>>156091988a few europeans would have died without hydration breaks and that's a fact
>>156091919yeah thats unfortunate
>>156091988FIFA implemented the hydration breaks, nothing to do with the US.
>>156091881We have options for field sports, you don't. You just play the same boring game.
>>156091517flagrant fouls generally don't result in an ejection
>>156091691Its fucking stupid and your sport is for retards.
>>156086965If I stepped on your fucking ankle it would snap in half. Stop pretending like it’s not painful faggot.
>>156086403You get a red card for this, the sport is gay as fuck
>>156091881Have fun losing to Brazil Olaf
>>156092111it was one of the arrangements for the cup to be on the USA, the advertisers wanted that, and you know it
>>156092151I accept your concession
>>156092196lmao, i wish i chose a different sport when i was a kid, jesus fucking christ
meanwhile, a coach picking up the ball and blocking play from resuming, something that actually would result in an ejection in any other sport? yellow
>>156086403uh Based?
>>156092094have you watched nfl or mlb ever? america leads the world in massive ego refs/umps
>>156092216I don't want anything to do with your "sport"
>>156091881Hydration breaks were in the last world cup and they will be permanent going forward FIFA is just using the US as a scapegoat.
>>156091881many europeans also considered the nazis a “good thing”. and yeah fifa was so corrupt the fbi had to step in and unfuck it. if that means adding hydration breaks so players dont get fucking heat stroke while pretending to fall down to get their opponents eliminated from the game so they dont have to play them, yeah I’d say thats probably a good thing.
>>156091517Messi did that against Algeria and didn't get a red card
>>156087397Bitch what the fuck are you talking about??? Do you think any country is "into this favoritism thing"? Serie A's entire league collapsed for years when favouritism was discovered and it has never recovered. Why would they favourie Bosnia over USA? USA are the hosts, USA are the side FIFA want interested more than anyone, why would they favourite Bosnia over USA? What you're doing is like trying to push favouritism FOR USA. Now that tackle is extremely dangerous, you don't fuck with a player's ankle. That shot in the OP, I'm surprised e didn't choose another place to stop it, shows the ankle being heavily pushed in a way it's clearly not supposed to go in. You don't just get to make things up as you like. >>156092094Yeah nobody cares. The only people making refereeing into a big issue are people who know nothing about it and since they can't talk about the game use referee stuff to fill the silence. FIFA would like to get Americans interested in the sport but not if you're going to make it into something fake and fraudulent and a scam.
>>156091960actually they do play in the nfl. a korean soccer player was a kicker for the giants and falcons recently.
>>156092253He will ignore that cause he is a retard. The whole reason why the ABS system in MLB even exists now is due to the horrid egos on umps shitting up the games. It got that bad that we now need those.
>>156092024Fuck off. I'd believe it if reckless plays were ever called except when the ref isn't in the process of rigging the game. Especially since this game featured three actions by Bosnia that deserved reds including a no excuse no ball in play body check. Anyways, enjoy your shitty sport wondering why you always lose not realizing the game was rigged from the start.
>>156092214remind us if they're there or not in three years or four or whenever the next world cup is idk
I implore everyone to develop an attention span and watch a video of it as opposed to a still framed shot. The contact was largely incidental, MAYBE a yellow. Bosnia is allowed to concuss one of our players but we can’t challenge for a ball. The icing on the cake was 10 minutes of stoppage, I’ve never seen a more desperate ref.
>>156092253NFL refs are invisible most of the time people dont even know their name and MLB is automating everything with tech to take power from umps.
>>156092283when you are the golden boy of FIFA, you can do it. Not before
>>156092283Messi is a cheating little shit but they will have deemed both as reckless challenges and only Balogun’s as reckless with excessive force because his full weight came down on the other player.
>>156092253Why the fuck would I want another sport with even more ref-ball than the NFL? It's already fucked, but at least with the VAR in NFL everyone agrees on the outcome. VAR in NFL is so much better it's a joke to even compare. It's the pass interference in NFL that is questionable, and it's gay and no one likes it. Why add a new sport here with even worse outcomes.
>>156092335the umps literally try to provoke chimp outs so they can throw people out of the game
>mfw people are somehow only just now learning that divegrass is shitI could've told you that after watching 10 minutes. Literally every game has dogshit pacing.
>>156086501FIFA refs run on MSM rules.
>>156086403Why do burgers make not caring about certain sports some sort of point of pride? I don't watch stuff like rugby or cricket but if presented to me I'd make an effort to learn and enjoy it rather than seething about it.
>FIFA is rigging the game for...fucking BosniaLMAO
>I'M NEVER WATCHING THIS STUPID DUMB GAYWAD BULLCRAP EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!>posts 17 more times in the threadlol
>>156092311>Why would they favourie Bosnia over USA? USA are the hosts, USA are the side FIFA want interested more than anyone, why would they favourite Bosnia over USA?yet the ref was helping bosnia
>>156087108>gravity doesn't existmmhmm
>>156090863pour him a tall, ice cold, peach tea like you really hate him
>>156092311The England Senegal game was completely ruined by that penalty at the end. But that was just?
>>156086403The worst part is we have start that shitter poopi.
>>156092416>nflwatcher talking about pacingyou couldnt make this up!
>>156092099sports are supposed to be fun you know
>>156091691why would they add such an easily exploitable rule that lets you remove problematic opponents from two games for protecting players when 99% of the time its not even doing that? its just a more economic path for teams to exploit to get a win without even needing to be good at handling a football.its like they saw the dilemma about letting ten innocents die rather than one guilty man go free and saying yeah that seems good.
>>156092378Makes sense. Everyone knows that if you have a black person and a white person that are the same weight, the black person is heavier (it's the filial sin).
>>156092439or against USA. your shitty ref hates USAnow he guarantees a Belgium win
>>156086403How can you look at that pic and come to any other conclusion that its a straight redAlso, >nigger instincts
There’s no point getting upset now. Just pay the refs to send off one of Belgiums players and you are right back in it.
>>156092468His brain would melt at Cricket which i argue is better than MLB
>>156092311>if you're going to make it into something fake and fraudulent and a scam.Too late for that. Americans have nothing to do with it.
>>156089445>busted ankle>career overIs he a horse? Will they shoot him?
>>156092439>Brazilian coming in to defend a ref hated by BraziliansI don't get it
>>156092311The excessive added time and ignoring all the shit Bosnia was pulling shows the ref specifically had some sort of weird bone to pick. Maybe I’m projecting because our major sports leagues have been completely fucked up by betting but the ref frankly looked desperate. His behavior was like the NBA ref that got caught fixing for the mafia.
>>156092481They are.
>>156086501the ref could have called multiple yellows on both teams up until that redhe didn't even call the red initially, the VARfag chimed injust terrible reffing
>>156092429You wouldn't get it because soccer is as corrupt as your country. We don't accept corruption by default, you do. So watching any sport where the outcome is predetermined is fake and gay. To help you, once you realize last World Cup was rigged for Messi to win, everything makes sense. If you're willing to call this sport fake and gay like Professional Wrestling then maybe I'll take you seriously.
>>156092511
>>156092491How is it "easily exploitable"? Do you think soccer players want to be injured? An injury can end their career, no one is getting heemed on purpose.
>>156092547I don't even care about his nationality, that's a foul and a red card. And yes, Messi should also get a red card for that, but he is the golden boy of FIFA, they not gonna do that
>>156092549didn't Bosnia kicked someone in the head
>>156092571>more ragebaited seetheGet a grip.
>>156086403Does a red card not need some kind of intentionality? When you watch the play he's just trying to find his footing and then is falling anyway. That was clearly an accident.
>>156092365>NFL refs are invisible most of the timepfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffftook me 2 seconds to remember Ed Hochuli and I know you'd remember him too if you weren't a zoomer>>156092384>at least with the VAR in NFL everyone agrees on the outcome. VAR in NFL is so much better it's a joke to even comparehahahahahaha
>>156090737I got my nose broke real good kickboxing by complete accident. It was supposed to be sparring. The guy used to do a bunch of head kicks over and over again and one time it looked like another round kick to the head so I went to duck and I ducked right into his middle roundhouse and took it directly to the face through he opening of the face mask. Blood went all over my shirt and his pants and I didn't notice until he motioned down and I saw the red.You know what I didn't do? Bitch about it. Even though it hurt. Even though you can still see the spot on the nose that was broke. Whatever. Officiating is too important to the outcome of soccer games. Flopping is required if you really want to win. And flopping sucks to watch. I think soccer super fans are numb to it because it's so normalized in the sport. But as a casual who doesn't watch much soccer it's really annoying to see people who sometimes aren't even touched at all drop to the ground like they had been hit by a sledgehammer. And then magically they're good to go when play resumes
>>15609254910 minutes is a lot but you started with 3 from the water break and then had a long VAR check. That’s 6 before anything else happens.
>>156092522test cricket is designed delayed gratificationbaseball less so but also has more random dopamine due to the fact that any pitch could be a homer
>>156086403Cant they reverse this though? Fire the ref and say it was racism.
>>156092365> NFL refs are invisible most of the timeLmao
>>156092491Soccer's problem is most of the players and coaches appear to be less than 100 IQ. Anyone with a brain would know soccer's rules are so ambiguous and bullshit that it's begging for complete and utter exploitation. Even offsides, I'm pretty sure you could make a whole defensive strategy making it near impossible to shoot against you.
>>156092549There is so much America hate going around you honestly can't trust any of these refs in a US game.
>>156092338>Fuck off. I'd believe it if reckless plays were ever called except when the ref isn't in the process of rigging the gameDon't worry, they are. Of course you'd assume the red was rigged because you've developed a bizarre obsession within the last 60-ish minutes
>>156092214Not the first time either>>155886531
>>156092645Pretty much anything involving cleats is judged as intentional.
>>156092657why dont they stop the clock during the water break?
>>156091881nigger we don't like the hydration breaks either. calm down ole
>>156086403Clear red. If that is going to filter retards that want the sport to be like their nfl stuff, good
>>156092283Yeah almost the same as snapping a players ankle in half.
>>156092571>We don't accept corruption by defaultlmao, an american no less
>>156087612>aussies still butthurt about losing to the USA.
>>156092645>Does a red card not need some kind of intentionality?No
>>156092335ABS in baseball seems to be a success overall. It exposed base umps with horrible eyesight. NFL challenges/ VAR 95% of the time get it right.Plus the ejections in our sports don't mean your team is crippled for the remainder. We have plenty of ejections, it's just means another guy comes in.
>>156086403>he ran straight here to make his surrender threadOP IS A PUSSY ASS FAGGOT
>>156092711(except for all the times where it isn't called)
>>156092703damn I guess they'll be gone next cup then (kek)
>>156092311yeah but the tackle was completely accidental. physics did that and players cant calculate trajectories or collision dynamics. sure you can sometimes prescribe general conditions to lessen the likelihood of injury, but those conditions, like going in studs up, can also be violated by complete accident through no volition of the player’s own. the end result is a dangerous play, but by complete pure random chance that no party aggravated any factor of.
>>156086965This sport just straight up sucks. It's only popular because any literal poverty country can play it and it's been around for a long time.
>>156092580From some miracle every soccer player I've seen fouled start running like a spring chicken once they get the ref to pull a card. Medical science need to research the healing power of these yellow and red cards.
>>156092703fifa used Qatar as the scapegoat for something americans demanded in the world cup. yanks really ruin everything
Wasnt intentional, went for the ball. Yellow card.
>>156092645It depends of the case, but ops pic is always a red. I dont get why are americans bitching about that. Its like the second most obvious red possible, only below pic related.
>>156092511The reason why Americans don't like this sport is because you can make an honest attempt at a play and have the outcome be you are removed from the game and your team is down a player and you can't play the next match.
If the rules cared about intent you’d have 2 broken legs and crocodile tears every match. Look at the red in the Canada vs Qatar match.
>>156092805We've had mechanical stopwatches that are reasonably accurate for over 100 years but soccer uses a running clock like it's still the 1800s. You could have bought a mechanical stopwatch a hundred years ago that's accurate to a 1/5 of a second and used that to keep time with. But nope. It's such an unserious sport
>>156092850a player breaks their ankle every 30 seconds dudethey're literally rolling on the ground in pain
>>156092697I know it's rigged because I saw a body tackle get narry a blink and a red from someone going after the ball during a jump that often results in injuries. I can tell you have a hate boner for the US, and that's okay I guess, but that just shows you're a low IQ with no concept of future thinking. You think "corrupt call against US" is good. Too stupid to realize this can be used against you in the future. Fucking retard. I know you're retarded, but we have shared interest in having calls made objectively.
>>156092846No, this is the most obvious red card
>>156092508>now he guarantees a Belgium winpssssst we get to play the next match with 11 men and Balogun has backups (multiple)
>>156092678This. We're in America after all
>>156092897Not pausing the clock is one of the most retarded “features” in the sport.
>>156092912Vinicius Jr ruined the sport but thats another matter
>>156092720Why not just stop the clock when there's a stoppage instead of just appending whatever amount of time the ref feels like?
>>156092849Well and it’s boring and has gayer flops than the nba
>>156092735>posted by BrazilI don't have problems with street gangs murdering civies and having the cops run cover for them.
>>156091769>>156091893Damn you went awfully fuckin quiet after that huh? I accept your concession
>>156092682Yes Juan nobody has ever thought about using offside traps before.Reading replies like these makes me feel like American "men" are spiritually women: CANNOT shut the fuck up even when they have no idea about what they are saying and if you tell them they are wrong they will deflect and go on tangents until they "win" because otherwise they'll go on forever.
>>156092846we are bitching because there is no recourse. we demand a defensive player have some ability to defend. If this is what it comes down to, just fucking.Like I've been saying though, the ENG SEN penalty was worse and I didn't even bother watching the USA match due to the ref-ball. Senegal has a much better reason to bitch about it.
>>156092849same exact shit happens all the time in the US major and college sports
>>156092678They could but if you are going to rig then just send off a Belgian instead.
>>156092961Because added time adds tension
>>156092849And it's just lame. For every one goal that's scored there are a few dozen instances in between of a guy rolling on the ground and literally pretending to cry.
>>156093007Not really. It’s the same fucking time.
I can only imagine the frustration of Americans who are getting started into football after seeing something they think is very unfair. Nobody likes unfairness and Americans seem to have a deep ingrained reaction to it more than any other people. Good for them. The ref is probably right but even if he is wrong, every team eats shit trough bad ref calls from time to time. No one can claim football(soccer) is among the fairest sports out there, but people still love the game regardless. Hell, even if Messi and Mbappé got red carded in a WC final for dubious reasons, Argentineans and French wouldn't give up on football and become cricket or hockey countries. TL;DR: If it was meant for you to love the game, you'll love regardless of situations like this
they only have one sport so they need to protect their collective soccer izzat at all cost, pathetic monkeys
>>156092961>>156092897advantage time is the most kino part of the gameof course you dumb yanks would want the most sanitised, methodical changes to the sport possible. you'd think for a sporting country so obsessed with things being precise and measured, you would have switched to metric
>>156092580cmon now you cant act like flopping wasnt and still isnt a major problem in the sport. put two and two together and youll see why people flop in the first place. fix your dogshit incentives and enter the 21st century. oh, wait, the rules are decided by a committee that’s half made up of british people. no wonder the sport’s such an orwellian nanny nightmare.
>>156092996no it does not
>>156092961Same reason you guys still bring out the chains for a first down. We’ve always done it like this and people don’t want it changed.
>>156093045you only like soccer because it's the only sport you've ever known, you have massive sunk costs to cope with
>>156092933>Trump's Americano
>>156086403>deliberate knee to the face>deliberate breaking of a player's ankleEven south korea wasn't this bad against italy in 2002.
>>156092994Stepping on the ankle is always a red. Well, not always, because Messi is protected by the Swiss organization, but its usually always a red and thats why people complained about Messi getting alway with that. What yall doing is the equivalent of a baseball player getting a third strike at a foul tip and saying "but he made an honest attempt at hitting the ball and got punished by it".
i don't even need to ask if that suspension can be appealed it's FIFA i know the answer
>>156086403What still ruins the sport more than shitty red cards making the game uncompetitive for the remainder of the time, is flopping. They need to crack down on floppers way more and it ruins the experience still having people rolling on the ground constantly.
>>156093062Referees don't give out reds for flopping and for penalties there's VAR sinson now, which is the 21st century change you wanted.
>>156093069Running the clock so the ref can make a 90 minute game objective 100 minutes is a good thing?
>>156088679bodied that freak
Europeans are always whining and bitching about something so I don't see any problem with them losing their ankle privileges
>>156092969You literally have all of those things, stop pretending like the usa is some swiss country side paradise
>>156093095>What yall doing is the equivalent of a baseball player getting a third strike at a foul tip and saying "but he made an honest attempt at hitting the ball and got punished by it".no it isn't
>extra time is good because we're a bunch of timewasting faggots or something
>>156090461Kill all Amerimutts. White people need to take a stand against the Jewish golems of the USA
>>156093095I think a better analogy would be the runner going to second getting out of the baseline to slide into the 2nd baseman and contacting him above the knee, and then arguing it shouldnt be an automatic out at first
>>156093003This guy has the right idea. >We just need a bit of Riggi in our favor to make up for this
>>156092911you didn't even know what anything that happens in a soccer game was before tonight, please just shut the fuck upnext you and all the other retards are going to lecture me about how a professional foul shouldn't be a red because it's le soft
>autistic video measurements to determine if a goal should be disallowed because a player was 1 molecule offside>added time at the end of the half is just left to the ref's whimsy and not even communicated to the viewersits like they're actively trying to obscure things rather than elucidate them
>>156092989Officiating is too powerful and important in soccer. A single officiating decision can decide a game on the spot. It's a legit flaw in the game.
>>156093091we are really good on skate boarding tooalso table tennis
>>156086403The other player initiates contact and leaps in front of Balogun. It would be a miracle for one of them to NOT step on the other in that spot. Losing your best player next game for that is such a awful rule.
Stupid warmongers accept the red card.
>>156093156It is. Its on the nature of sport that such challenge is a red, even if not with intention. It has been that way for decades now. You cant come and say "but i personally dont agree with that so we need fifa to cancel the red". Its not like the players dont know that either way.
>>156093113It’s more that there’s only 60 minutes in play and if you stop the clock players won’t be able to handle the 30 added minutes.
>>156092311In american sports refs usually aim to keep things 50/50They will call a foul or two on one team, then they will ignore further fouls until the other team commits one, because otherwise burgers will think there's refball at play (most of them don't watch games, they only look at highlights and stats)In the burger mind, today was a heinous example of refball because the refs called off not one but two goals (both offside by a whole meter) and then got a red card for an obvious red card offense>...and what about bosnia? no red cards? no offside goals disallowed? are we being targeted?That's what's going on inside their mind
>>156093091Volleyball is massive here and basketball is very popular, these two are our university sports but I've never cared about either of them
So is soccer a contact sport or not?
>>156093174I actually like the extra time, because they don't keep stopping the clock by going out of bounds. It probably saves time really.
>people start calling the ref racist>twitter cancels him and he gets deported>red card undoneTell me one reason why this wouldn't work?
>>156093192bullshit calls have decided NFL games for decades, bullshit calls literally launched tom brady's entire career
>>156093229of course an assblasted thirdie will claim bosnia did nothing wrong but america did everything wrong o algo
>Waaaaaaah change the rules for us or we'll stop watching the most popular sport in the worldYeah, go fuck yourselves, UStards
>>156093095>what yall doing is the equivalent of a baseball player getting a third strike at a foul tip and saying "but he made an honest attempt at hitting the ball and got punished by it".I appreciate the effort but no. It's more like a baseball player being ejected because he crashed into a baserunner while looking at the sky and running trying to catch a pop-up. Or for sliding into the second baseman on a double play ball after he tripped and stumbled sideways into him
>>156090461
>>156093222The ball not making in play doesnt mean they need to add time, time wasted in corners or throw ins arent counted. Its just for subs and injury time.
>>156093271because the player was properly sent off"SERIOUS FOUL PLAYA tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force or brutality must be sanctioned as serious foul play."
>>156093271Brazilians are totally unaffected by the racism card
Every WC is like this on /sp/. American posters think there's some growing interest in the sport because of WC hype, and then everybody goes back to not giving a shit about it after the WC ends. It's time to admit that it's never catching on for the US and never will.
I googled it basically the guy is lost forever this cup but you can return with normal amount of players? I think its fine then, even accidentally breaking knee is just bad bad so harsh punishment makes sense if you play sports. The knee is the worst injury and soccer is one of those sports where knee is vulnerable
>>156093245No, you're not supposed to go for the ball or maintain balance, you are not allowed to say words, but you ARE allowed to flop around on the ground pretending like you need a limb amputated. Some teams are allowed to grab and hold jerseys for approximately 5 years at a time, some teams are not, entirely up to the refs discretion.
>>156093229>no intent>obvious red
>Messi didn't even get a Yellow Card for the same shitYeah okay
>>156093283Billions of flies can't be wrong
>>156093095There really is no equivalent in baseball because if a player gets ejected from the game you still get to keep the same amount of players on the field, you don't lose your shortstop. It's more the uncompetitive nature of it, no one likes watching a game where one team is just handicapped for the entire time, maybe like a 10 minute period where you play a man down, but not like 40 minutes+
>>156093262>adds extra time>saves timeBruh...
>>156093299>must be sanctioned as serious foul play.that's called a yellow
>>156093332Not lost forever. I think it's just one game, but I could be wrong. He can't go at Belgium.You get 11 players next game yes, kek.
>>156088630When do you play next?
>>156093347INENT DOESNT FUCKING MATTER YOU DUMB BURGER, READ THE FUCKING RULESENDANGERING THE SAFETY OF ANOTHER PLAYER IS INSTA RED CARDSTEPPING ON THE JOINT OF ANOTHER PLAYER WITH YOUR FULL BODY WEIGHT IS ENDANGERING THEIR SAFETYSERIOUS FOUL PLAYA tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force or brutality must be sanctioned as serious foul play.
>>156093276See? You totally want the refs to make the same calls against them regardless of whether or not they deserve it (they don't, there's no equivalent of that foul or those offside goals for them)
>>156093319I wish, you can easily get big jail time
>>156093381this, pretty sure hockey has nothing where you play down a player the entire game + they are banned from the next game
>>156093217I think there is a language barrier between you and I. Anyway, all I'm saying is I stopped watching after the Belgium Senegal game because of how gay that one ended. Just not for me. That was a clearer case of what I am bitching about. The Senegal player was already following through with his kick and the Eng player's foot came in. It's just a really gay way to end a knockout round game in a tourney that happens every four years. It's just too stupid. The USA B&H match was more of the same.I will watch ENG v MEX thoughever.
>>156093400Didn't your miracle midget do the same thing
>>156093066yes it does>footballaccidental contact to the head or neck = ejection and suspension>basketballaccidental contact to the head or neck = flagrant, possible ejection>baseballaccidentally beaning a batter in the head = ejectionthe whole point of these zero-tolerance rules is to remove all subjectivity from the situation they are regulating, it is the exact same in soccer so please stop pretending otherwise
>>156093192i've been saying this. thats why e-sports are more of a sport than actual sports
>>156093369Not reacting to the fact I called you all fucking crying babies, I see. I must be right, then.
In hockey when you get a penalty you play 5-4 on for 2 minutes. If they played like that the entire game it would be retarded and pointless to watch because its so noncompetitive.
>>156093388If the clock constantly keeps stopping you are losing time when watching it. 48 minutes of basketball goes on for 2+ hours.
>>156093347intent is not objective to judge/impossible and flailing tards deserve to be punished even if they didnt mean to do it to you whatever that means. Obv if you play sports something you'd miss if you use logic without enough info
>>156093275A goal in soccer is worth more than a touchdown in football. And the red card creates an endless power play until the end of the game. Officials and officiating is too strong in soccer. At least in the NFL / Grid iron football teams often score 2-5 times and have multiple possessions. A single ref decision doesn't decide the game in the same way as a ref decision in a sport that often ends 0-0, 1-0, 1-1 etc.
with intent = red/ejectwithout intent = yellow/warningthis is how it's always done in every sport
>>156093390>that's called a yellowNO YOU IDIOTITS UNDER THE:"SENDING-OFF OFFENCES"OF THE RULEBOOK OF THE FUCKING SPORT
>>156093400Boo fucking hoo. This happens in every other sport all the fucking time and its not even a foul.
>Argies still can't explain why Pissi didn't get a yellow or even a VAR check for the same thing
>>156093440>Football is different than HockeyShut up, y'all, we got Einstein in here!
>>156093045whats the uh word? stockholm syndrome? you get stuck with ref abuse, corruption, and dogshit rules long enough you start to get numb or even endeared to a sport. believe us, the US has that in spades in american football and basketball, it doesnt make it any less frustrating. but the game and the titles matter to us because they mattered to our parents and their parents. soccer isnt like that, its an emerging sport. and if you want that sport to succeed in a new market, the scars you struggle with in the sport are gonna get ripped open to that new audience. its gonna be hard for the new audience to swallow those things youve just “put up with” for years. decades. american sports have their own issues but for the most part they at least are intent-driven, meaning you can actually control what setbacks you incur. to punish a player for something they did not have control over, much less intend, is a far more abhorrent concept than you might think. I mean it took years just for an intentionally dangerous play in football to get banned and punished by ejection over intent concerns. It’s just not gonna sit well with americans, is all.
>>156093319Uh pretty sure Balogun has the upper hand in racism tier there
>>156093400I can't believe you said this with a straight face after the fouls Bosnia got away with. We'd care more if the rules were enforced equally -- which they are not. It's even more hilarious when you consider the offsides rule inherently puts players at risk by allowing plays that are going to be called offsides still happen. I've seen multiple injuries in the goal box from trying to score being taken away a minute later. "About the welfare of players" my ass.
>>156093431no, not even closefirst, he touched the calf, not a jointsecond, he pulled back his leg as soon as he felt contact instead of putting the full weight of his body in his step
>>156093319If only
>>156093099don't worry, I was assured that a stone-cold red is actually bullshit and this will be promptly appealed and overturned because American Outlaws' feefees got hurt
>>156093463ThisWhat kind of retarded commie bullshit is this red card system
why are yall seething, you won?
>>156093381baseball ejections are treated differently by ump BECAUSE they dont lead to the team being a player down. you can bet your bottom dollar that if they did lead to being a player down they wouldnt throw people out constantly
>>156093467why didn't messi get any punishment then>>156093485yeah kek it's soccer stockholm syndrome + sunk costsplus a seige mentality since it's their only sport, they feel directly attacked when we point out how dogshit soccer is
>>156093474>This happens in every other sport all the fucking time and its not even a foul.different sports have differnt rules you fucking oron
>>1560934401 player in a 5 players team is 20% of your team.1 player in an 11 players team is 9,09 % of your team.Do you understand?
>>156093506I thought intent didn't matter, it's in the rulebook you know.
>>156093499trvke>>156093517they tried to rig it against usyou people forget, we have half a dozen sportsyour shitty sport needs to justify itself to us in order for us to care, if it's full of rigging and VAR and bullshit we will never careYour job is to sell your sport and you're failing miserably
>>156093113yes, since there’s no pauses. otherwise you can just dick around and contest penalties or draw VARs and drain the clock without playing.
>>156093452oh so bosnia won then with that man advantage they had? that incredibly powerful advantage youre talking about surely meant they won right?
>>156088351They are a naturally cucked people
>>156093381>>156093429I mean, its fine if you dont like the sport, the rules, or wont watch anyway, thats all fine. What im criticizing are the posters saying thats corruption and that fifa should suspend the red. Such demands have no basis on the rules of the sport
>>156086403>convincingly dominate and win the match>shaping up to be the best performance in a WC you ever had>instead of celebrating like anyone sane would do, they come here to bitch and whineWhat a bunch of miserable pricks. Come to think of it I haven't ever seen burgers talking about sports in any sort of remotely positive manner, even the sports they supposedly like. I'm glad you freaks are isolated from the rest of the world.
>>156093499>I can't believe you said this with a straight face after the fouls Bosnia got away with.its literally a quote from the fucking rulebook you mutt>>156093558it does not matterwhat matters is endangeringand since he didnt step with his weight he did not endanger the playerwhat is so hard to understand?
your sport needs to be more like ours if you want us to watch>>156093550striker is far more important than the rest of the team
>>156093550I understand both are a major disadvantage.
>>156092804I agree it was maybe a bit harsh and especially I hate players also being suspended for the next game. However that's different to claims of rigging. >>156093229Interesting and makes sense.
>Black person commits a crime>Americans rush to defend himClassico
>>156093595No one wants you to keep watching if you want to be a petulant child even after winning a match.Instead, you should fuck off since you're a net negative to everyone around you.
>>156093586>>156093582>>156093590I guess you're used to corruption in your favela shithole so you don't see why this is all wrong
Who do Americans think Belgium are? You will be fine.>>156093567This isn’t true. I’ve watched the Super Bowl get decided by a flag and you guys lap it up.
>>156093517>noooo you cant complain about the ref if you lose. You crybaby.>nooooo you cant complain about the ref if you win. You won, so what?Shut the fuck up nigga
>>156093590You are pretending to take the rulebook at face value and then coming up with subjective bullshit to justify your rigged little goblin midget not getting the same treatment.
>brazilian ref makes a shit call>flood in to defend it because their soccerizzat is on the linethey're literally just like indians lmaodetestable people
>>156093628Yeah clearly no one but you can see it, now fuck off from the sports board retard.
>>156093570kek done em
I'm really starting to think soccer fans don't realize how their sport looks to casuals who aren't as invested in the sport.This is just normal to them they don't even see what they're saying as ridiculous mental gymnastics. >grown men pretending to be hurt over and over again is awesome
>>156089202> The best HUE HUE is a blind retarded apeI guess I shouldnt be surprised
>>156093590>its literally a quote from the fucking rulebookAnd it's selectively enforced. Messi fan.
>>156093595>your sport needs to be more like ours if you want us to watchFuck you're dumb
>>156093570we would have won 4-0 or 5-0 without all the refball
>>156093586THANK YOU REFEREE SAMA FOR EJECTING OUR PLAYER FROM MULTIPLE GAMES BASED I LOVE SOCCER NOW
>>156093628There is corruption on fifa, thats why messi didnt get the card. But a player getting ejected for doing something that the rulebook forecasts as a game ejection and a 1 match suspension is not corruption. You can bitch about the rule all you want but you cant say that this is juridically unfair
>>156093499do players flop in the box or do they get medically injured because you think the ref is supposed to blow the play dead as soon as he sees a possible foul? (he can't do that anymore btw)which is it?
>>156093586yeah its called the anglo tradition and rule of law it gave you third worlders every material thing you own... Fairness above emotion even positive ones Also americanism is the most exported ideology in the world, even the way you hate american is distinctly americanism. Its bad btw but the tentacles of america is everywhere
>>156089217Slavs aren't white they aren't even really human
>>156093684It's a sport that has games literally decided by who dived harder because so many of them end 0-0.There is a reason countries without soccer culture don't give a flying fuck about the sport and will never, ever adopt it.
>>156093570bosnia is not a real team
>>156093684they don't, they have stockholm syndrome because it's their only sport, for them corruption and rigging is like breathingit's literally worse than the fucking NBA, lmao
>>156093517they're minus their best player for a game and a half because of thisbut hey at least >we get home field advantage o algo
There are sore losers which is understandable, but this is the first time I see sore winners. If that's their happy face, how will amerimutts act when they lose? Pretending like they didn't care and scream in a pillow?
>>156093628>>156093654>>156093699read the fucking ruleshttps://www.theifab.com/laws/latest/fouls-and-misconduct/#disciplinary-action
>>156093710oh so you just wanted to statpad? not sure that goal difference matters after the group stage mate
>>156093624It never failsAmricucks are pathetic
>>156093184if the second baseman jumped into the baserunners slide, like is the case with this red card, the second basemen would be more likely to be ejected. if he happened to get in the way in the midst of the slide by accident, well after it started, then the umpires do understand this thing called momentum, and would not penalize the baserunner for that play. it just isnt comparable.
>>156093586Nobody is fooled, monkey. We know this is the angle you have to take, because us losing and you gloating is denied to you.
>>156093710>we would have won 4-0 or 5-0 without following the rules
>>156093684SGA is the back to back flop MVP. Competitive athletes will take any advantage they can get in any sport.
>>156093757where does it say it needs to be a red instead of a yellow?>>156093755>i'm a retarded thirdie used to corrupt sports, why are people complaining about corruption?
>>156089649Bro there’s literally a targeting penalty in the American football that’s an instant ejectionEveryone hates that rule too
>>156093771Come on now, everyone loves it when number goes up
>>156093517The next game is fucked because of this garbage
>>156093463>t. doesn't watch any sports, much less American ones
>>156093757>read the fucking rulesThey're vague and can be applied to a hundred plays a game.
>>156093757That L I T E R A L L Y applies to the shit Messi got away with you stupid fuck.
>>156093771larger goal difference would have made foreigners angrier, so yes i wanted the real score
>>156093811Balogun is not your best player
some of you got tricked by the slow moif you watch it in real time he STOMPED himarguing intent is fucking dumb when he INTENDED IT
>>156093755yeah 4chan is where you go for positivity
>>156089603it's really just thisfootball is pussy shit for sissy euros and americans are used to much more physical sports
>Messi wasn't carded at all>monkeys will still defend this
>>156093822Yeah and thats why everybody complained about fifas corruption bar argentinians and indian messi fans.
>Tons of threads celebrating>Erm what the heckerino why are Americans not enjoying itShut up, fags lol
>>156093435>>football>accidental contact to the head or neck = ejection and suspensionwhat?
>>156093729>rule of law>Fairness above emotionso an automatic red card in an automatic red card situation, thanks for clearing that up
>>156093797>where does it say it needs to be a red instead of a yellow?its under:Sending-off offencessubsection:Serious foul playdetail:"A tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force or brutality must be sanctioned as serious foul play."the keypart being "challenge that endanger the safety of an opponent"sending off offense, aka RED FUCKING CARD
>>156093550you are arguing about 10%
>>156093889They want America to care so badly. As much as they bitch and moan the NEED America to care. Their worldview revolves around America.
>>156093928it says sanctioned as serious foul playthat is open to interpretation pedrothat means they can give a yellow
>>156093880At least the Messi favoritism makes it trivial to bet on Argentina games
>>156091881Agreed.But also get the fuck off this AMERICAN website. Go post your AMERICAN meme template on whatever snow nigger website where you apes type words with made up letters like øöæë and the rest of that queer shit.
Penalty in NFL: Team gains or loses 5 yards out of 100.Penalty in MLB: Player is ejected from the game and replaced by a player on the benchPenalty in NBA: Player is awarded 2 free throws and the potential to score 2 points out of the team's 100+ points in that gamePenalty in NHL: Player is sent to the penalty box and his team must play at a 4v5 disadvantage for 2 out of 60 minutesPenalty in soccer: Player gets a penalty kick which succeeds 95% of the time and accounts for 50-100% of his team's goalsOrPlayer is sent off and his team must play at a 10v11 disadvantage for potentially 90 out of 90 minutes
>>156093822no you monkeymessi doesnt put weight into his foothe does not endanger the opponent because there is no riskthe burger steps on the joint with the full weight of his body, he endangers the opponent because there is risk
>>156093945They need America to care but also not succeed at it
>>156093332>anon thought he was down to 10 players next matchcutehe's gone for 2 games iirc, this and next, belgium. Which is a pain in the ass as those guys fucked your team over in 2014. If the team gets past Belgium he's back in time for quarterfinals, either Portugal, Spain or Croatia by then.
>>156093976bad bait
>>156093755The reality is that 98% of Americans could care fucking less about soccer. Most of the other 2% are 6-year-olds playing an organized sport for the first time in their lives.I'm only hoping that our African imports pull it off for the global butthurt that would rage.
>>156087108>jump in the air along with another player while playing a physical sport>gravity exists and makes things that are up go down>go down accidentally on someone's leg through no fault of your own, that's just how it played out>no intent to harm whatsoever>just an accident and part of playing physical sports>red card, immediately ejected, must sit out the next matchyeah, i don't think this semen slurping sport is for me. i'm not european enough to think something like this is fun
>>156093928>"A tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force or brutality must be sanctioned as serious foul play."Wow that sure is a cut and dry rule and can't possibly be applied to hundreds of daily occurrences in the sport lmao
>>156093400I also very much enjoy the wording of the laws here. So intent doesn’t matter but we’re still gonna act like you intended it. It wasn’t your fault but you shouldnt have been so reckless. If you were just a more composed and cautious person, born into a proper family of peerage, and brought up with good principles and born to a mother and father with good, sensible genes, this wouldnt have happened. But by being here, CAUSING such EXTREME DANGER as you did, clearly shows you are much too dangerous and irresponsible. You endangered that man’s life when he JUMPED IN FRONT OF YOUR SLIDE. Havent you considered the time and place of your slide? You would if you were of a good pedigree, not the common stock. Foul play. You engaged in criminal foul play, you low-born reprobate. Off to the gallows with you.No wonder argentinians enjoy this sport. They loved the Nazis too.
>>156093934Let me put 10% of my dick in your ass, then 20% of it. You'll see the difference.
>>156092849Maybe make your honest attempt at play without breaking the other guys legs lmao
>>156093924i'm one of the guy arguing yes he should get the red card but even so this is baby tier reasoning... if another player does something similar and don't get it I get why people are butthurt because its not fair in how the law is applied.
>>156093951are you trolling or a fucking idiot?under sending off offensesthey have a listthat list includes serious foul playand serious foul play includes endangering an opponentseriously, are you freaking retarded or a troll that you dont undestand something so basic?
>>156093400>allowed in every single other sport on earth but not football lel
>>156094012He jumped in front of him
>>156093435>accidental contact to the head or neck = ejection and suspensionNo lmao otherwise the entire o-line and defense would be ejected before halftime>accidental contact to the head or neck = flagrant, possible ejectionMaybe flagrant, probably not automatic ejection; basically a yellow card>accidentally beaning a batter in the head = ejectionNo, it always requires intent
>>156093976its more serious in soccer because it's their only sport and religion o algo
>>156094009very gay post
>>156093550in hockey they let players fistfight each other though, and its way more fun to watch that.
Americans dream: opposition player breaks his leg and is taken off in the back of an ambulance but because the cute kawaii little black boy didnt mean it he gets to keep playing :P
>>156093847t. Aussie who probably learned the alphabet like, "A is for abo".
>>156093894it happensguys get ejected for putting their shoulder in tooAmerifags in here thumping their chests acting like our sports are flawless are retarded
>>156094032where does it say they have to give a red faggota yellow can send you off too
>>156093999Everyone posting here obviously knows and cares about it, why even keep up this performative indifference? Where does the animosity even come from? I don't watch american football but if I were to watch it I would enjoy it no problem and wouldn't make up reasons to hate it.
>>156094066Seething about darkies isn't gonna make them go away, Bruce. Maybe beat us next time okay?
>>156094056How do you know >>156093934 is a dude? Did you just assume their gender? You fucking nazi
>>156093979>he does not endanger the opponent because there is no riskAre the spikes made out of cotton balls or something? What the fuck do you mean "no risk" in jamming his cleats into someone's fucking leg? God, I fucking hate Argentinians so much, the WC needs to end already so all you numbnuts slither back to your sanctioned generals.
>you don't understand it NEEDS to be a RED it's SERIOUS!!! there's NO ambiguity >... unless it's messi or another star who does it ermmmm there's wiggle room
>>156093634I said earlier its like stockholm syndrome to certain qualities. There are qualities and rules of american sports europeans would find abhorrent, and vice versa. Those issues get exposed tenfold when the sport is trying to gain ground in a new market.
>>156093976It's a thirdie sport they can't make a decent rulebook if their life depended on it. I think euros have lost control of it I can't explain why they tolerate it.
euros are pissing and shitting themselves seething at americans all because americans dared question why a sport would punish someone so severely for an accident out of their control euros are probably red in the face spitting and boiling with anger
>>156094106cringe
>>156093976And NBA flagrant gets you ejected, but you have to do something that has the guy legitimately needing medical attention, and it's really just a matter of, "Tit for tat, you took their dude out so you go too." And it's still 5v5.
>>156094091many of the people watching the world cup are only casual observers who watch several different sportsyou think we care, we don't. we would watch competitive bowling if it was country vs country.you are just a weird monosport peasant who think anyone who watches a soccer game cares about the sport
>>156094160No, U
>>156094000Then how come some players including defenders always tackling have gone years or even their entire careers without even a yellow card retard? Dunning-Kruger says hello.
>>156093990Hard sell.
>>156094066ejection would be fine the suspension is the problem.
>>156093805I've been watching NFL for 25 years and have no idea what a targeting penalty is.
>>156094138Don't forget the HUEHUE apes as well!
>>156094138they have a point, soccer is a knee sports as in you attack the lower body directly unlike other sports (knee worst injury) so simple logic about how the penalty should be lighter without such considerations is silly. I'm iffy on losing a guy forever the entire match but harsh penalty does disincentive such behaviors
>>156094100as has been made abundantly clear, youre on our level. you barely beat bosnia lmao and they had a shockerwe win a 7 game series against you 4-2
>>156094175>you think we care, we don't. we would watch competitive bowling if it was country vs country.Well stfu then. Why are you even there? Go fuck your sister or kill a cow, idk what you rednecks do for fun, these days.
>>156094089>where does it say they have to give a red faggot>a yellow can send you off tooholy shit you are an idiot
>>156094128Messi is too popular, the rules don't apply to him
>>156094091That's not true at all. Most of the American flags that would show any actual interest are actually browns or foreigners her on green cards.I bet if you watched a baseball game, you'd be bored off your ass too, and it would be perfectly fine for you to say so. I don't give a fuck at all if someone from a different country hates things American.
>>156094023>if another player does something similar and don't get itthat's called corruption and should not be happening, there is no excusethe Argie in here is 50% doing good work by posting the actual rules but 50% being retarded by going THATS DIFFARANT with Messi and not just shutting the fuck up about it
>>156094005This would be all well and good if they gave cards for all the other clearly intentional fouls in the game. But this game is such a perfect case of how the rules are grossly misinterpreted and applied one-sided. Even Bosnia touching the goalie's head pushing it to the ground is a fucking red card.
>>156094239settle down okay?
>>156094043forcible contact you nitpicking faggot
>>156094210>breaks leg and is out for the rest of the tournamentnooooooo my pwayer cant pway the next game :(
>>156094236>but harsh penalty does disincentive such behaviorswhat "behaviors" you esl retard? the "behavior" of letting gravity cause you to come down on someone's leg on accident?
This is why real soccer countries don't like playing with ignorant shit teams like the US. It's not that you're bad at the sport, it's that you're stupid and disrespectful. Your roided up African bullniggers bumble into star players at touchdown speeds and end some poor prodigy's career with a crushed ankle, or resort to murderball when they're behind or they don't like a call.Even a terrible team can cripple a star player and ruin a major team's season or run of the tournament just by body slamming or stomping legs and nobody in America can teach these nogs better. It's a liability letting them out of their two-ocean prison to play with the rest of the world.
shut the fuck up australia you fucking faggot you're not even a soccer nation, you like that rugby faggotry
>>156093976/thread
>>156094296He isn't playing anyways because they got their asses kicked lol

But i will only watch at most clips and figure out posting angles related to themto me the world cup is basically part of the olympics, nation vs nation fighting stuff
>>156094296>breaks his legs>he still went back on the field anywaysSo which is it?
>>156094342Not denying fucking your sister, I see
>>156094369me holding you
>>156094236except it doesn't and worse it incentives flopping because it turns out this is another way to play the sport, it's amazing because the game is so low IQ because no one understands that the game is fucking retarded, they want you to be rough and then pick and choose which jersey pulls get a yellow, it's funny how they look the other way when it matters most too
>>156094413nah im the nonchalant dubya in this situation
>>156094000no no you do not understand amerimutt! yuo see, the act of jumping, done especially by a low-born, ill-bred peasant such as yourself, is an inherently dangerous and reckless act, like a, a child jumping on the bed. you ought to know better, you out to know that superior-bred man of higher class knows what he is doing when he jumps, and by contesting it, that is, competing in the competitive game, endagers the man of higher class, and therefore you should not do it. If only you had known the exact trajectories and dynamics of the air, gravity, ball, limbs, and digits of the other players, like you highborn opponent clearly keeps in mind, you may have been able to contest safely, but you lack this intellect and so need us, the benevolent nanny state, to protect you from your own incompetence. away eith you!this is what they unironically believe
>>156094401the intent. common red card. dont worry lil bro, its only for one game. you guys wont lose to belgium, but stop blaming the brazilian ref, even if he was at fault, var exists for a reason i guess (which as far as i know there were no brazilians there) but idk
Brazillians (and Fr*nch) really are monkeys
As if there wasn't more reason to hate br hues. The Japs should have won. Fuck you, your refs and your country.
>>156094435>the intentWas not to hit the guy's ankle
>>156094430>He says as he keeps seething about Americans in this thread for an hour
>>156094444>>156094454Hahaha your tears are delicious. Seethe more, it's fucking hillarious
>>156094435Okay but can argies stop sucking cock when Messi didn't get a yellow or a var?
>>156094407i'm not from dixie
>>156094369>ausretards be like "hurr durr american casuals!">meanwhile plays shit like cricket, rugby and aussie rules footballyeah that's gonna be a yikes from me
Lots of crying and whining itt lmfao
You know what I did today? I watched baseball, watched it all day. Noon to now, I'm still watching matter of fact, you know why?Because I don't care about soccer! Haha, sorry, just don't care! We won? Don't care! I'm white! Haha, I'm terribly sorry but I simply, unequivocally do not care in the slightest about soccer!
>>156094484i dont think they can
>>156094433this is like the 4th one of these posts you've mad and each one hasn't been funny or smartjust move on, bro
>tries to kick ball while its between dudes leg>doesn't see how the collide happens >accidentally steps on the guy>red cardI hope the hand that ref>>156094495based preference anon
>>156094486Oh so only 50% of your population fuck their own sisters? Sorry, my bad. You're a great country, then.
is soccer the only sport where a regular non-intent "foul" hurts you in the next game?
>>156094300sit down you esl. When I said "such behaviors" the word such is implying that such behaviors are abstract and do not pertain to this particular instance, but it is probable and possible -- that there are more than one such behaviors, that is flailing, which I contend may not be intentional, but intention is impossible to know for sure and even accidentally crippling an athlete even if because you were not careful enough to avoid such situations, makes sense to incentivize behavior of all players to be more careful
>>156094300its like I keep saying its an inherent, genetic or class-based thing to them. someone who gets into fights is a ruffian, regardless of if they are the ones constantly getting attacked. someone who is born among the common folk is of lower intelligence and higher risk to criminality than those born into peerage. their concept of right and wrong, fair and unfair, are completely rooted in medieval thinking.
>>156094538You seem upset Mohammed. What's wrong?
two words.fair play.yes, it wasn't his intention but as a professional that sort of dangeours maneuver cannot be tolerated.also, is this the famous sense of entitlement I always hear from Unitedstateans?No one is against you, it's just the rules of the sport but I guess it's to be expected from a country with no footy culture.
>>156094562didn't read keep seething
>>156094304my case perfectly encapsulated in one neat point. what an elitist, medieval sport.
>>156094590They tolerated it with Messy so blow it out your ass
>>156094590>but as a professional that sort of dangeours maneuver cannot be tolerated.no one is "tolerating it" you moron. it's an accident. if it was on purpose and people were defending it than it's "tolerating it"
>>156094590>but as a professional that sort of dangeours maneuver cannot be tolerated... except when messi does it, then there's not even a yellow>argentinian accusing someone else of soccer entitlementgood bait though
>>156094590They tolerate it when Messi does it
>>156094571And that, ladies and gentleman, is an attempt to derail the conversation. Notice how unsubtle it is! It's due to this Anon's extremely limited intelligence.
>>156094487based nonsenseposter>>15609447280% of the posts itt are from yanks seething about a rule they appear to be too dumb to comprehend
>>156094429even if unintentional, intentional or not being murky generally, he did step on the ankle, unlike many other flops . It is such an awkward position which if one plays sports know it is this misalignment and awkward falling positions of being caught that is worst to knee rupturing, a straightforward shove for example is much easier to fall from and many attacks do not misalign the knee as much
>>156094624>>156094639and there it isturns out this whole thread is actually about yanks seething that messi didnt get carded
never knew australians were such bootlickers. all americans are doing is wondering why an accident was so harshly penalized and aussies are in here going "obey the rules! do what you're told! don't ask questions, just obey!"really embarrassing
>>156094677>argie brings up how it should have been a card>get suprised messi is pointed outi dont think either of them should have been red cards faggoteither yellows for both or nothing for boththe fact is messi not getting a call proves that it was a shitty call and the ref should have given a yellow at most.
>>156094677Yeah? That's been like 50% of the discussion, the double standards in officiating. Been drinking gasoline again?
>>156094677>IT'S ALWAYS A RED CARD!>except when messi does it :^)It's more calling out when it's NOT a red card
>>156094701I tried explaining it instead of getting into this histrionic grievance session about their preconceived hatred of America. They could've just explained clearly why he got the red card.
>>156090892Americans are trying to fix your faggy sport and all you do is stick your noses up. Well what about all the changes FIFA made recently?>cant waste time on throwins>cant waste time pretending to be injured>more stoppage time to make up for timewasting>replay for offsidesThese are ALL things Americans used to IMMEDIATELY call for the moment they watched world cup divegrass. And it took you gay yuros 20 years to finally do it. Maube just listen to us more?
>>156094701What did you expect from a prison colony?
Guys this is all getting a bit silly. If you don't like the game why are you even here. I sympathise with US for the red card offence that could be thought a bit harsh, you can appeal the suspension, and sometimes they do get overturned, it's possible. And that's it period.
>>156094890>If you don't like the game why are you even hereI lived here before you people took over the board
>>156093999The reality is that everyone posting here obviously cares about it, anything else is just spook narratives.I'm glad this WC is being hosted in proper cosmopolitan countries where people actually care and go out to watch sports instead of that meme Qatar shit, it makes a huge difference to have home teams and huge crowds.
>>156094719>>156094726>>156094765WHERE THE FUCK HAKIMI DO THAT WITH VINICUS BUT WHERE IS THE CARD?
>>156094701you guys have been chimping out all thread in the exact same way as George Floyd riotsthink about it
>>156093586The only other country that cares about fairness and reason and justice in the same way as USA does is the UK. They should be allowed to run FIFA with zero input from thirdie shitholes or even continental Euros.
why are people crying about Messi, Almada got a fucking elbow to the face and there was no card.
>>156095006because the exact same play happened to messi and he didn't even get a yellow, there's no reason to give a red for this one
>>156095006SUBHUMAN AMERIMUTT DON'T KNOW SHIT .
>>156093805Targeting is fine. They are kids, they shouldnt have to be exposed to head shots. Defenders have to make an effort to launch up, they cant do it by accident. Playing the ball is not an accident, by the way (unless its low or something. Not head height). Compare to this soccer red card where its something as routine as running alongside and opponent and being knocked off balance and stepping in the wrong place.
>>156095040look at the fucking force he do for that foot. Go and fuck yourself.
>>156093831He is the best striker US has had in at least 20 years. You don't understand how many MLS shitters we have watched blow easy chances again and again. Past US teams have had to rely on midfielders to play forward and score everything.
>>156093058retard things the units you use to measure something have anything to due with your ability to be precise or accurate (protip: we went to the moon with inches)
