*Official* Knockout Stages

Knowledge?

You're sweet.

 

[Jono]

That's why UEFA doesn't allow replays of decisions on screens at Champions League matches.

Used to do that at the cricket.

Gestapo-like.

 

[silentstriker]

I actually did not think another sport existed whose administration head their head more up their asses concerning technology and umpires/refs than cricket.

Boy, I've been proven so comprehensively wrong in some style.

 

[Jono]

They were suggesting that the referee may override it. Is that possible?

Is it like cricket, where the umpire can call the batsman back?

Anyone?

 

[Uppercut]

Haha, that's even more perplexing than the England decision. Linesman clearly err, optically challenged.

 

[Jono]

Lol. Mexico's defence is rabble.

 

[silentstriker]

Well there's the game I think.

 

[Pratters]

In football there is always controversy week in and week out, whether it is red cards or off side goals or whatever.

RIP Mexico.

 

[Uppercut]

Anyone?

Nope.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Can't complain about that one.

Can't believe Higuain is leading the goalscoring at this WC so far. Really hasn't done anything special.

 

[Jono]

Nope.

So why did he talk to the linesman?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Anyone?

Technically, no. One might've hoped for some common sense tho.

This is why non-football fans see the game as a joke. &, tbf, they have a point. So much is obviously wrong with the sport it takes outsiders to point it out.

 

[Sir Alex]

Yes!!!!

Higuain!!

 

[Pratters]

As you said Fuller, I think Villa has a very good chance but first they have to beat Portugal.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

More goals at any time you'd think. Mexico looking hopeless defensively now.

 

[Goughy]

I actually did not think another sport existed whose administration head their head more up their asses concerning technology and umpires/refs than cricket.

Boy, I've been proven so comprehensively wrong in some style.

Baseball?

 

[grecian]

More goals at any time you'd think. Mexico looking hopeless defensively now.

And thats the point isn't it one wrong goal changes the dynamics massively.

 

[silentstriker]

Baseball?

Yes, that too. That perfect game disallowed was beyond ridiculous. However, a goal in soccer is so much more important than a strike, or a base run.

 

[Pratters]

NBA is very good in this regard.

 

[Jono]

Yeah NBA seems one of the best run leagues in the world atm.

Just know what they're doing, and marketing their sport very well.
