England supporters should be rooting for Italy here.

 

[Mjolnirs]

Wow!

 

[The Gator]

Here, Swiss, just take your time and shoot...

 

[The Gator]

What a goal, onion bag bulged

 

[The Gator]

@Steve Tasker will be kicking dogs today

 

[TennesseeJed]

Yikes - that was interesting

 

[TennesseeJed]

ok, thankfully Dest's future is now secure and he can concentrate on rehab

=========================

PSV
@PSV

A perfect start to the transfer window! Sergiño is ours until 2028!

28 means he's transferred, not still loaned from Barca?

Sergiño Dest joins PSV from Barcelona on free transfer.

 

[The Gator]

Feels like Italy are playing with 10 men. Everyone is so far away from the ball and where it's going

A quote from an English board I frequent:

Switzerland are going to have their way with Slovakia...

Switzerland makes the field big. If the Poms get past Slovakia they will have their hands full.

 

[TennesseeJed]

Fun little bit of Trivia I ran across:

The last team Italy beat in the World Cup was the opening match of the 2014 World Cup a 2-1 win against England.

Italy v Switzerland
Germany v Denmark.

Interesting geographical twist: assuming there’s a road through the Alps (I honestly don’t know), you could drive through all four without crossing another border.


Or maybe take a train.

Kind of like driving from El Paso to DC and only touching four states. Always thought that was wild

wait no how

There must be others..

 

[Mjolnirs]

They are going to have to show some more replays. No idea yet why that was taken off the board.

Michael Oliver.

I'm a Denmark fan and side with you. Still not sure I understand why it was disallowed.

It was a beautiful goal

(But also a foul on Kimmich to screen the defender off the goal scorer.)

Very surprised they aren't stopping this with the lightning. They'd have delayed a long time ago in the US.

LOL - literally as I hit save.

 

[TennesseeJed]

Atmosphere at the match is electric.

 

[TennesseeJed]

Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening me

[Mjolnirs]

Wait, that kid was in black face. Of course the other kids were red face and yellow face. All kinds of issues there.

 

[Desert_Power]

Andersen very unlucky today.

 

[encaitar]

Wow. What a gut punch two minute sequence for Denmark.

 

[TennesseeJed]

Not a fan of those types of handballs given on shots from that close.

Also not a fan of those run-ups for Pens - but it was well-place by Havertz

 

[TLEF316]

I absolutely hate that they will take away a goal in that situation. His heel is an inch offside right in front of goal. Its just stupid to limit offense in that manner in a sport with so little scoring.

 

[Mjolnirs]

Wow. What a gut punch two minute sequence for Denmark.

Agreed.

 

[gianmarco]

I mean, Havertz looked like he actually stopped during his run up. I didn't think you could do that??

 

[Desert_Power]

Andersen very unlucky today.

Couldn't keep the pace with Musiala there too. Rough one.

Weird play - because it looked like Musiala gave up on it momentarily, before he saw Schmeichel back off himself.

To which the counterpoint is do you allow a heel? A foot? A foot as in the distance? A yard? At what point do you say it is not offside, and once you've decided that, someone will still be a heel ahead from that point on occasions. It's no different from a WR's toe being on the sidelines and it is incomplete.

Unless, of course, you are advocating for the abolition of the offside rule, in which case lol

 

[The Gator]

That's about the 4th time Rudiger has died on the field.

Not the greatest of wordage when they're playing a team that started Christian Eriksen

Offsides where the ball is passed from inside the penalty area shouldn't be a thing. Poke holes.

 

[culdeus]

Offsides should require at least 1 oraface to be over the line. Just saying.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Peter Schmeichel has to be the whiniest, braggiest, douchiest talking head out there. Almost makes Alexi look like a normal person.

His obvious homerism here. First of complaining about the offside saying how can the VAR assistant possibly tell it was offsides, and saying it's "too much power" for Stu Atwell to have to make a game changing call there. Isn't offsides automatically done by the computer? It's not like Atwell is looking at a still frame from the video feed like it was 5 years ago.

Then he SOMEHOW is trying to argue that the ensuing handball that led to the PK wasn't a handball. I'm trying to figure out how he could even dream that up, as it was a patently obvious handball/PK.

And of course, in the middle of all that, he never passes on an opportunity to pat himself on the back, bragging about how he "called" Musiala being a person to watch for (gee way to go out on a limb there). Seems like the guy never misses out on an opportunity to brag about how he called the results of a game that was probably one of 5 picks he made with the rest incorrect.

Dude really grinds my gears.

Confirmation that if the US happen to lose to Uruguay and fail to qualify for the knockout stage of Copa America Gregg Berhalter will continue to be the coach “Zero chance” of the Federation making a change at this time People need to just accept the fact that he’s our coach

This has always been my stance. I get the strategy aspect of playing an offside trap further up the field. But waiving off goals when someone 7 yards from the goal passes to someone 2 yards from the goal just seems nuts to me.

Hard to describe in word....

Ronaldo chop is a quick chop by stepping over and tap it the other direction with back foot - all on the fly in attack.

Maradona is a bit fancier. "Step on top of ball while going over and starting a spin. While backwards, pull back and turn forward again. Or something like that.
Could also be throwing the ball in the goal with your hand while attempting a header....
