the minute the ball cleared the defender I knew it was in.

did you see how high Maradona is in the stand. He is flying higher than the flags on the stand.
 
not allowed. all players must be on field of play. Panama tried that on v england

Where are they gonna be standing then? If they all run off the pitch then book them.. if ty don’t return to the pitch then they are in effect forfeiting the game.

Ill take the bet now that what you suggested never happens
 
Cracking 3 touches from Messi. One on the high, one to get it in front and then one to put it in back of the net.

Still no odea how dyabala doesnt get game tkme in this team

Suffering from the fact he plays in a similar position to Messi, behind the front man. Although Dybala can play as a main striker or wide man, so he could be fitted in if the coach wanted.
 
Messi gives the half time team talk.

And if you don't believe he does the same at Barca and Ronaldo for Portugal and Real. [HASHTAG]#naive[/HASHTAG]
 
Masca is a moron. Since Serbia made a complaint about wresting in the box, Refs have cracked down on it.

The time of Masca's and the Skrtel's is over.

Never a penalty. The consistency is ridiculous. The ones that haven’t been given compared to the ones that have are crazy.

How can you give that and the one in the Saudi Arabia game, barely any contact yet others like the Serbia and England ones aren’t given.
 
soft one by the look of it. Masch did have his arms around him but, to me, it looks like the Nigerian backed in and fell over...

Since the Serbia one, the Serbian FA made a complaint to Fifa about the wrestling and ref consistency on it, since then it looks clear that the Refs have been told to watch out for it and punish it.

edit: also appears that the English coaching staff have also made a complaint to Fifa, since the Tunisia game.
 
England win the World Cup? We haven’t won knockout game for 12 years, warns Gareth Southgate

It’s actually worse than that. Aside from hosted tournaments (1966,1996) England have never, ever, not even once in the history of tournament football beaten a top side in a knockout game. Never. Not one time.

  • 3-0 v Paraguay, 1986 World Cup
  • 1-0 v Belgium AET, 1990 World Cup
  • 3-2 v Cameroon AET, 1990 World Cup
  • 3-0 v Denmark, 2002 World Cup
  • 1-0 v Ecuador, 2006 World Cup
That’s it. Not a top side in the list.
 
Blatant pen, Mash had both hands around his waist and then used his left hand to twist the Nigerians body to the floor. He didn't learn from previous pens, serves him right.
