Group A: Brazil, Croatia, Mexico, Cameroon

That is really poor, honestly?

The ITV B comm team are so much better than the A one.

Can you be offside from an opponents touch? He was certainly onside as the corner came in (obviously).

No you can't, or you shouldn't be.

That second one was a shocker. Worse decision than the penalty yesterday.

 

[ripper868]

Thought so. Commentator here on SBS saying something vague about the touch from the Cameroon player put him offside. Anyway, moving on.

Good to see both teams looking to attack, I guess that what happens when Brazil is in your group.

 

[harsh.ag]

Time for drone refereeing in football World Cups !!

 

[Spark]

Gee I reckon that's a pen by the letter of the law - can't see a touch on the ball there

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Crazy that it's still goalless really, could have easily had 3 or more. Shocking refereeing the main culprit obviously but Cameroon had a couple of good chances too.

 

[harsh.ag]

I want this kind of thing done to Brazil !! The officials will be quickly put in their place

Can't blame the linesman for flagging but the referee really ought to have noticed that there was no touch from a Mexican player.

 

[Spark]

third time lucky eh

 

[Spark]

i swear, there's some bloke in the crowd who blows a whistle every time cameroon get the ball in a moderately attacking position

 

[ripper868]

Was a long time coming. Won't be surprised to see another 2 before full time

Yeah. I actually hate linesmen, as I've gone on about for years, but it's the ref who was in the position to see who the touch was off.

Justice being done though. Was getting a little annoyed about the comms saying the Cameroon tactics were working because of the score, but in the end it hasn't really worked they should be 3-0 down.

There is, it's quite irratating, been happening throughout the match. Think there was a famous incident in the aforementioned '82 WC where players stopped on a whistle from the crowd.

Agreed, but it's still kinda like saying I'd rather **** my mum than my dad.

Kuwait, from memory? Might even have been against us, actually.

Think their head Sheik had a proper monk on about it too; took the players off.

 

[King Pietersen]

Both these teams are terrible, especially Cameroon, some of their passing has been miserable. Neither will get anywhere in the tournament.

 

[Pothas]

Mexico were ok.

Cameroon are not good though.

 

[BoyBrumby]

They've always been like this, tbf. Filthy as ****, just leavened by the odd dash of genius, mainly thanks to our Rog.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Assou-Ekotto was pretty good. Cameroon **** otherwise, definitely didn't deserve a point.
