  1. And the pointless 8 minutes added is based on...what? added time plus perceived time wasting?
  2. When I see the Costa Rica coach, can't help but think of that cartel boss in Breaking Bad
  3. They look wrecked. Been chasing shadows since about minute 15. Mooy in midfield ffs.
  4. No way the original water carrier trusts a perceived maverick like Max
  5. Fair, was just thinking about how smooth they've looked and if they would even miss those two.
  6. None of these nil nils gets close to Toon vs Swindon in 90, best 0-0 I ever saw probably
  7. Can't say Alvarez has stood out like. Shows for a pass and moves it around tidily and that's about it Edit - what @ponsaelius said
  8. That was the goal! Still remember the commentary "Negrete...Aguirre...Negretttteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! Magnificent!!!"
  9. Espana 82 is the first WC I recall well but have a bit of a soft spot for Mexico 86, Negrete's overhead kick and all that. Sorry Mike.
  10. Those idiots in the VAR booth, scoop them up with a rope and helicopter like in a Bond movie and drop them in the Red Sea.
  11. Wish this ref could do all the games, amazing how something as basic as common sense refereeing is such a surprise
  12. Fair points and while it may be a bit "utopian" to have consistency in refereeing across the entire 90 minutes and regardless of foul location, that's something that could be addressed before games even start. "Do this, this is the consequences, whether it's minute 1 or minute 90", then nobody can have any complaints. You never know, players might even listen. VAR is a whole other mess though. How did they fail to give the Maguire foul? Seems to me that the usage of VAR for a tiny infraction in the 99th minute of a lost game, is a complete waste of everyone's time and not what it should be used for. Why analyze that foul? You can't tell me there weren't 50 others exactly the same or similar throughout the game.
