how the fuck can you lose against 10 men
>>156344992ask bosnia
DUDE JUST SPAM CROSSES
>>156345044sorry, I forgot hergovnuh
why couldnt they sub somebody in for the red card guy?
>>156344992I think you need some kind of Messi to score against an entire team parking the bus inside the penalty area.
>>156345044wasn't it reverted? Officially Bosnia lost against 11 players
>>156345142That's the point of red card, to punish the team and make them play -1.
>>156345332seems a bit silly. dont think that happens in any american sport
England has Kane and Bellingham. Mexico just plays hard.
>>156344992Mexicans aren't men, they never stood a chance
>>156345390If they could just put someone in the place of a red card guy, they could field someone just to assault the adversary best player and get away with it.
>>156345390american sports are silly
>>156345390hockey
>>156344992spam crosses and long range shots against a 2m tall bong who knows how to do nothing else except to throw his body in front of them
Why is the one player loss for the whole match? Shouldn't it just be until you score a goal like the power play in Hockey?
>>156344992>have a 45 minute power play>score is 1-1 over that spanBruh.
>>156345540You can do that in any sport as well but we dont do it. People just don’t throw out players to purposefully injure someone. What are you, uncivilized freaks?
>>156345390Otherwise you could just have some benchwarmer injure the opposite side's top player and then sub him for a good player. Every game would turn into kamikaze.
>>156345594hockey has power plays but it's over in a few minutes or when the other team scoresit sounds like in soccer they are just down a man the entire game?>>156345540no civilized person would do that. even if some thug gets on the pitch/field/court, if they did that someone on the other team would just do it right back.it's also why fighting in hockey is good
>>156345687>What are you, uncivilized freaks?It's called the WORLD cup so yes.
>>156345687That's why rules and laws exists, anon.
>>156345540>If they could just put someone in the place of a red card guy, they could field someone just to assault the adversary best player and get away with it.Now THAT sounds like a sport I want to watch!
>>156345540based?
>>156345687>You can do that in any sport as well but we dont do it.Hockey has always had goons that do precisely this. In fact in Hockey you need dedicated goons to beat up the other team's goons to prevent it.
>>156345319No. Only the ban was reverted. And a reversion doesn't change the reality of 10v11.
>>156345949The amount of gooning in hockey is sorely overrated
>gooningO how meanings change and are added to old terms.
>>156346038>>156345949In hockey it's more like "if you go after our star in a dirty way, we'll do the same to yours". Also they'll punch you in the face
>>156346038The what now?>>156346038
>>156346119>>156346038>>156345949>>156346179
>>156346157Yeah but in football going after someone is tearing your hamstrings at top speed and ending your career.
>>156346279and if that happens they do the same to your star player. mutually assured destruction
>>156344992Our manager is literally a fucking retard who's only done well running small clubs his whole life.
>>156344992my team once was winning 2-0, with two more men and then the opposite team equalized 2-2 and we got eliminated with a global 3-4.not funny btw
>>156345949lol that's what I thought. Hilarious how intellectually dishonest they are acting like NHL are mystified at the "uncivilized" football - NHL is part UFC. I know because in NHL games which somehow show up here there is even a cut scene and you go to fighting like a random battle. Also sending off for two yellows is meant to be quite rare, straight red is meant to be exceptionally rare and done only for extremely horrendous and dangerous offences. This really is a very strange world cup.
>>156345949This doesn't really happen any more. Having a roster spot for a guy who just punches people is no longer viable. Sometimes they call up some 6'6" retard from the minor league for a couple of games if they really need to intimidate someone but it's increasingly rare.
>>156346119
>>156346038>The amount of gooning in hockey is sorely overratedYeah nowadays. I'm not a zoomer piece of shit, I remember the 90s before low T trash ruined the world
>>156345129Yugoslavia has been having bouts of schizophrenia since the 90s
I unironically think a variant of football where you're allowed to yank, shove and maybe ram other players rugby style but otherwise keep the same rules might be pretty cool.>>156346726hohhoh
>>156346826>I unironically think a variant of football where you're allowed to yank, shove and maybe ram other players rugby style but otherwise keep the same rules might be pretty cool.isnt that pretty much this WC? the line between no foul/foul/yellow card seems completely arbitrary
>>156344992when 10 mean are 5 defenders and you crowd the pitch only a penalty or a fuck up by them can save you.
>>156345609Seething.
>>156345688>have some benchwarmer injure the opposite side's top player and then sub him for a good playerWell this straight up used to be done back in the day.
>>156346879Not really. Each match is unique and players habe to adapt to what the ref calls and doesn't call. The ref, then, has to stay consistent but be ready to dish out cards in order to keep things things safe and coherent. Oftentimes they have a tough time doing this, like in yesterday's France-Paraguay match.In any case, blatant rough housing and takedowns tend to be called, regardless of the ref. In my hypethetical variant those (and more) would always be fair game.
>>156345044but they won (against us)
>>156347869>Each match is unique and players habe to adapt to what the ref calls and doesn't call. This is kind of bullshit in a tournament where different referee attitudes can cause one team to end up with players on yellow or missing games while another team with the same fouls has their full squad
>>156346512Feels bad, man. No one on sp knows about that Simeone pecheada.
>>156345091>DUDE JUST SPAM CROSSESI see people dunking on this but genuinely what else are you supposed to do vs 10 men parking the bus in the box?
>>156344992be mexican
>>156348378How do you take a fortress, Anon?
ask your mom, haha
>>156348432siege it
>>156348378Set pieces. Smart midfielders. Watch the teams who break busses this year:>Brazil broke the Japanese bus with Casemiro header who caught them by surprise>England broke DR Congo bus with with Gordon making nice runs and assistIt takes time though, buses are bound to break over the 90 min but if they park it with 20 min left then it's very difficult
>>156348378It's all idiots who talk against it. Mexico's best half chances at the end came precisely because of them crossing. There's nothing else they can do. They weren't crossing the ball enough. If they kept sending in more crosses instead of doing sideways passing and trying a few dumb long shots, then maybe they'd have some luck go their way.
>>156348378shoot at the net from just outside the penalty box
>>156344992They lost to the zestyness
>>156348562Gordon is awesome. Anderson played well as well by setting up the 2nd England goal ofc credit to Rice for goal 1 but he's a standard England fixture, the former two only shined for me this game
>>15634499212 on 10 for half the game and they still blew it, KWABs
>>156348599Wrong pic gah damn it, here's zesty jude bellingham
Eu-roids were gifted a penalty that didnt exist. It started from an offside position and then the ball touched Kane's arm.
>>156345044VGH the Butchers of BosniaMay you dine out on this demolition for generations
