Holy fucking shit.

COSTA RICAN TARTS

Aye, think this has been a fairly standard Mitrovic from when we were in the Prem last time performance. He hasn't been bad, good touches when involved but absolutely pointless infront of goal.

-£20m

I think the band would be canny good if you were at the tournament like. I sounds shite on the tele though.

Aye there's been a few glimpses but on the whole he hasn't been involved a great deal imo.

"Little bit harsh" I've seen them given as reds man.

Assitrovic

I don't get the argument that Mitrovic is a bad footballer like, he's an awful goalscorer, but he's good on the ball and always has been.

+5 for the touch though, I think we're back to even before the tournament.

Never caught it all but I don't think Larsson did anything wrong like (maybe missed the bad part). Just seemed like he disagreed with her and was arguing how he saw the game.

I'm glad VAR isn't being used invasively, but it means the decision to implement it is even more pointless. Blatant handball by Serbia but it's allowed to play on (probably would have been pulled back if they'd scored), they win a freekick straight after though. So then what, they score from that freekick and the handball that wasn't punished allowing them to win the freekick is somehow irrelevant?

Even scarier to think the former had an actual fan club.

Relevant:

I cannot say that I would have been stunned to see an old Argentinian man be a bit of a racist like.

Remember when the Nigerian keeper just threw the ball into his own net

Hope Croatia get fucked silly for that shit they pulled in the Euros costing me money.

I get why people don't want to watch games like that but I think the story outweighs the shite entertainment. Although tbh the plucky Iceland story is getting a bit old now, they're a good side and have been for atleast a year or two before Euro 2016 It's hardly a surprise when they shut teams out.

He's been all about a goal since the miss, tbh. That was almost a Ronaldo vs Austria performance like

So how does this work? That Argentina shout was a stonewaller but it never even got looked at? The refs watching the tele couldn't have missed it.

Now THAT was a stonewall penalty

ffs

hear hear

I cannot watch the vid as the UK is blocked. I don't know the actual rules but I would assume that if the referee saw that there was definite contact he would wave it away in the Premiership atleast, the same with most people watching the game along with the commentators. Contact with the ball is generally assumed as being a tackle atleast from what I've always seen - I never knew that there was anyone who disagreed but apparently there's loads (not saying it's wrong, just never seen it before) I don't even think that matters too much today though as the contact was actually pretty relevant due to the pace they were going imo. EDIT: I'm talking clear contact here, not 'did his studs shave the dust off the ball' type of contact which is impossible to verify.

He didnt win the ball. The rule says a careless trip results in a foul. If you can't get all of the ball in the same sliding movement and actually win possession, it's careless and running the risk of tripping. That's what happened He did win the ball, he knocked it into Greizmann who didn't have control of the ball and then he 'tripped him' ie touched him with nowhere near enough contact to cause him to be impeded. such as small touch on the ball as to make it move like 2cm off its original course isnt "winning the ball" (imo) Like I've honestly never seen this argued before. The only time I can imagine it being the case is if the tackle was at a slow pace (like Dummett's against Mahrez) when it could be argued that any small deviation is irrelevant but even then I imagine most people would just assume that contact with the ball is enough for it to be classed as a tackle. The tackle today was at pace, you cannot just say 2cm off it's course is nothing.
