Group E : Switzerland, Ecuador, France, Honduras

Yeah that was **** from Palacios. Had the cheek to call for a stretcher afterwards as well.

 

[Cabinet96]

France impressive so far. If only they had a full fit Ribery or even an in form Benzema.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Kudos to the ref for not buying it.

Hope he's not punished by some faceless FIFA panel of pedants for not sending Pogba off.

Common sense is an underrated virtue in officials.

Unloveable bunch, the Hondurans.

 

[Furball]

And now he sees red. ****.

 

[Pothas]

There are some predictable things.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ha, one of the more deserved reds we'll see.

 

[Cabinet96]

Karma eh?

Benzema will probably bottle though.

 

[Pothas]

Honduras a joke really. Might have got away with it 30 years ago.

 

[Furball]

This run up is too short.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Not an especially great pen, but did the job.

Incidentally, will a ref have the balls to order a retake if a keeper saves one after coming off his line? Every **** does it.

 

[Johnners]

Honduras a joke really. Might have got away with it 30 years ago.

Quite, hope France do a proper number on them now.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Must be said that the final ball from the French has been of very low quality throughout the half.

Should've put these jokers away already.

 

[BeeGee]

Unloveable bunch, the Hondurans.

Indeed. First game of the WC I'm not enjoying.

Some of the dives in this game are reaching Greg Louganis levels.

 

[Furball]

Not an especially great pen, but did the job.

Incidentally, will a ref have the balls to order a retake if a keeper saves one after coming off his line? Every **** does it.

They won't. It's pathetic, in the Europa League Final you had the linesman and the extra official just watching the Sevilla keeper come at least 3 yards off his line and they didn't flag once.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

So happy with the pen and the red. Richly deserved.

 

[Furball]

Clearly in, get on with the ****ing game.

 

[Pothas]

Jonathan Pierce not very bright is he?

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Am I smoking crack or something? Isn't that obviously a goal? I don't understand what the "confusion" is meant to be. It hit the post, wasn't in, hit the keeper, went in.

 

[Furball]

Jonathan Pierce not very bright is he?

Yeah the only confusing thing about that is pinpointing exactly what Pearce wasn't understanding.

 

[Burgey]

Fmd they're banging in about the goal line tech. It isn't hard - when it hit the post it wasn't in, when it was on the ground in the keeper's hand it went over the line.

So much confected controversy, or is it just stupidity on the part of the comms?
