Do all those yellows get carried over?
YesDo all those yellows get carried over?
Why is it depressing? Smaller population than NZ and easily the best footballing nation per capita in the world.Kinda depressing that Croatia made the final in Russia and now the semis this time around and we're the only team they've beaten without recourse to pens.
And even that was AET.
Hope soCroatia going to win the cup on penalties!?
For the same reason as England being the only team Italy has beaten in a WC finals tournament since they won it in 2006 is a little depressing.Why is it depressing? Smaller population than NZ and easily the best footballing nation per capita in the world.
They’re really not great to watch, can get quite snippy towards other teams, and have some kinda dark politics that crops up now and again.Why is it depressing? Smaller population than NZ and easily the best footballing nation per capita in the world.
England don't have many bad eggs anymore really.It could be us but people like me will be insufferable* for about 40 years if we win it so
*even more so
Still cheering for them in the semi but not as much i was an hour ago.
Yeah **** those dutch *****
Anyone who got their second yellow card in the quarter final will miss the semi. But yellow cards are not carried forward to the semi final from the rest of the tournament. Clean slate for all.
I am here for this sort of bastardry and I hope the Argentinians embrace it through the rest of the tournament.Still cheering for them in the semi but not as much i was an hour ago.
Keeping the ball rather than taking a chance to try to score is kinda just another way to be negative though. Brazil defended very well tbf.Croatia didn't play as negatively as is being claimed here. They didn't create any real clear cut chances apart from their goal, no. But they kept the ball nicely for large chunks of that game. Certainly didn't just let Brazil have the ball and sit back doing nothing.
It is, but it does take a set of skills to do. As someone who has seen England constantly **** up by just not being technically good enough to keep good possession which stretches the opposition, I admire Croatia for being able to do it. It's not just passing the ball around at the back.Keeping the ball rather than taking a chance to try to score is kinda just another way to be negative though. Brazil defended very well tbf.
The thing is people saying it'll be funny if Portugal win the World Cup without Ronaldo starting, that'd teach him are being utterly idiotic, it means he'll pick up a world Cup medal and in years to come that'll be his legacy winning every major trophy he possibly could for clubs and National.No recall for Ron. A final between Portugal and Argentina with Messi on the pitch and Ron on the bench would be quite funny.
