Teasy Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 (edited) Is it stupid that they aren't providing the clear footage yet?, Yeah. But even on the shots we have you can see it's not over the line. The worst image they have you just have to line up the edge of the touchline with the edge of the ball above and you can see the ball is overhanging the line. Souness sounds like he's about to launch a probe into russian interference or something FFS. Edited December 1, 2022 by Teasy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidAK Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Souness has been a bit of a cunt tonight but that was a great line like. "....Germany won't.... AHAAAAA" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The call on the field stands unless there is clear and irrefutable evidence to overturn it (which there wasn’t in this instance). It ended up being perfect execution, other than how long it took. Wasn;t the on field call it had gone out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Remember folks, sometimes the ball actually crossing the line before being crossed for a goal is also a good thing ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EIE3Q8RuJs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Did Jonathan Pearce have some sort of absence seizure during that game? How could he not compute that the ball had two questionable moments where they needed to review it with goal line technology Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of them stay in Asia because it's not worth it to leave the comforts of home to sit on the bench, but most of the NT-level players could do a job for lower-tier squads in Europe. Not relying on one-off outliers like Park and Son to carry a bunch of dross anymore. Son is basically a shell of himself this WC and we look about as good as we have in the last decade or so. Results just aren't going our way. Edited December 1, 2022 by oldtype Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 What a half. Must be one of the most dramatic in World Cup history? Would have been even better if Costa Rica had somehow held on and sent Spain out. At HT it felt like the most routine boring outcome was inevitable. Japan are such mad fuckers like, beating Germany and Spain in the manner they did, yet losing to Costa Rica. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
