  1. 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)
  2. Replied in the other thread Might as well keep it all in here now
  3. That would be fair enough if he'd tripped him. If that's tripping Greizmann then he should be constantly tripping over his own existence. This is the problem mentioned earlier, it's just a given now that any contact is enough to impede a player and that going down when you don't need to is fine because 'there was contact'. It's the vindication everywhere, from refs, to players, to pundits, to fans. It's crept in to the point where cheating is not just acceptable across the board, but encouraged. He got his achillies. You see on one replay the force was enough to lift the defenders leg up. Definitely enough imo, but obviously the argument about what actually is enough is and probably always will be a never ending one

  6. It's about time Aguero performed for Argentina at a world cup, has 0 goals in 8 apps so far. Expecting (hoping more like) big things from him

  8. I get the impression that people don't like Lawro
  9. Ooh, bit of goal line tech and VAR in the same game
  10. The replay shows the ball deviates slightly which means he touched the ball. They fucked up. Touching a ball slightly doesnt mean that it isnt a foul.. It means he won the ball so unless it was reckless (or he does something else like pull the player down with his arm) then aye it literally does. what This is after the touch. Hasnt won the ball at all, it's still in Griezmann's possession, regardless of the slightest of touches I was about to say the same, but I looked at it again and I honestly think the ball gets away from Griezmann. Dfferent point of contention I suppose. Like when you see a player through on goal, a sliding tackle comes in (or GK flying in) and they boot it out for what would have been a goal kick but then get taken down and get a penalty

  12. France havent done anything to deserve the win so far here, 1-1 is fair enough. Time to get Giroud on
  13. Lawrenson arguing that getting 0.1mm of your stud on the ball means you can't foul directly afterwards
  14. Correct decision. The only problem was the fact play carried on for like 30 seconds then he brought it all the way back. Can't stop the play evey time a player goes down in the box either though
  15. France front 3 arent linking at all. Should bring on Benzema in the 2nd half
  16. Most of my bets are France sided but fuck this, howay Australia
