jdckelly Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 it may be a bit tin-foil hat thinking but it strikes me as FIFA doing everything in their power to ensure the hosts win Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I am still irrationally angry about this, given it is a sport I don't follow at all. The keeper was not even substantially off her line and there were three or four French players encroaching in the box by the same amount. A complete robbery and there is a good chance that it has knocked our girls out of this World Cup. FIFA is seriously testing my patience with the way officiating and VAR have headed just in the past couple of years. it may be a bit tin-foil hat thinking but it strikes me as FIFA doing everything in their power to ensure the hosts win They have had dodgy decisions in their favour the last two matches when Nigeria and Norway have pushed them a bit. I cannot even blame FIFA if it is the case, tbh. From what I've seen the matches are more than fifty percent empty when France or the US are not playing. They need to maintain interest.

mrmojorisin75 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 it may be a bit tin-foil hat thinking but it strikes me as FIFA doing everything in their power to ensure the hosts win they did exactly the same in the u20 WC the other week, fucking VAR to give a penalty which was saved, then VAR'd the bastard penalty cause the keeper was an inch or two off his line...retake and goal it's nonsense Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_NUFC Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 As a pro VAR person, these developments are, unfortunately, proving the one argument I sort of agree with the anti-VAR crew to be true: that instead of correcting refereeing incompetence, the tool will instead be used to express their incompetence in brand new creative and outlandish ways.

It’s supposed to penalise the defending team. If the keeper wants to take a step forward to dive further, start a couple of feet behind the line so that step into the line when they dive.

Raconteur Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 How good is Sam Kerr? First player (man or woman) to score a World Cup hattrick for Australia. Highest scorer (with five so far) of any Australian player in any World Cup ever. We suck. You don't care. Still, it makes watching the highlights less arduous Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
