I don't have a problem with how VAR handles offsides and the marginal calls. It gives a clear result pretty much every time which I like. Speed it up a bit and I'd be happy with that.
I thought that too The Yanks I know smoke tiny grass spliffs without a roach so it looks just like that Turns out tea is more controversial than weed?
I thought we were supposed to be a nation with a good sense of humour and be able to laugh and take the piss out of ourselves. This is not an offensive celebration, it's quite pathetic that this is even a thing that people are getting offended about*. *In general/the media, no on here.
Disrespectful to poke fun at the losers in any competition....fans do it, rarely players. However, in general people are too quick to take offence, but these are often a minority and/or media. I often read articles about 'outrageous' behaviour and then you go down to the part where people can vote about the incident....almost invariably the views of the readers are much more level headed than the clickbait title would lead you to believe. Social media is enjoyed by many, but sadly gives a voice to the stupid and allows them to contact each other and reinforce their stupidity and prejudices.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48833096 Karen Carney will retire from both club and international football after the 3/4th place play off v Sweden.
I'm in no way criticising their performance before somebody gets offended, I just thought it was funny
Not sure who Sweden are beating, because I'm pretty sure the england girls are all on eurostar with their feet up.
Um, can someone tell Sweden that was for 3rd place. They are celebrating like they just won the tournament.
Neville says the 3rd/4th play-off match is a nonsense game. Wouldn't have been nonsense had they won, I suspect.. Basically, the World Cup has always had 3rd/4th play-off matches. It's in the history. So respect it.
To be fair to Neville , he said it before the game. I agree with him and it is time they ditched it. Who gives a **** about 3rd or 4th? I don’t think it deserves any respect.
I like it. Look back through the history of the men's world cup and you see the third and fourth placings, and some of them are really interesting. I suppose my interest is academic rather than from a supporters point of view.
One of those players was angry with Neville....saying she was proud of her bronze medal and resented him calling it a nothing game. The Swedish players looked happy enough to win. Many events at the Olympics have 3/4th playoffs....better to get something than nothing. It may be what he thinks, but Neville would have done better to keep his mouth shut.
