The two French yellows seemed awfully soft to bordering on not even fouls too.

 

[Ghost Rider]

I hear ya but im worried if we keep asking for VAR on plays the game will come to a hault as bad as football and the last 3 min of a basketball game

I agree, but if yellow cards are handed out for dives, you'd see them a lot less.  Players adjust to how the game is called.  It's like in football, where defenses often figure out early how PI is going to be called that game and adjust accordingly. 

 

[Kafka]

Ok. It was pretty much a dive. Lol. But he eventually drew the contact on his leg. 

Ok.  You can wake back up

 

[El Floppo]

What are the odds of a score on penalty? Greater than 90%?

Would you have awarded a point without the kick answer soon as the hand touched the ball accidentally?  Because it’s effectively the same thing.  

I'll have what he's smoking

 

[Sinn Fein]

What are the odds of a score on penalty? Greater than 90%?

About 71%

  I have no idea what you are asking in the 2nd part.

 

[El Floppo]

We can debate this further four years from now, which will be my next time.

Can you add blazing saddles harumphs to the rest of your soccer related posts please. Tia.

 

[Short Corner]

It wasn't a dive. He left his leg out and drew contact.

You know Kante's was 100%

 

[T-shirt Ninja]

Croatia is NOT fing around now.

100 percent 

 

[El Floppo]

Less go!

 

[gianmarco]

Modric's motor is amazing.

 

[El Floppo]

Llama lloris has been lights out this WC. Not what I'd expect given club play.

Also...hoping Croatia have enough left in the legs to maintain this pressure

 

[Sinn Fein]

I am surprised at how many times France are not attacking the ball, instead waiting for it - while the Croatians are attacking.  I mean, it France, so I should not be surprised they are not attacking, but still.

 

[GROOT]

Geez...off to the Gulag where your sphincters just doubled in size

 

[El Floppo]

####### russians

 

[The General]

Mbappe looks like he's running past little kids.

 

[T-shirt Ninja]

Members of MTUSA just ran out on to the field.

 

[roadkill1292]

Kante?

 

[El Floppo]

Wow... Kante off.

 

[Capella]

Imagine running into the field in Russia while Putin is there ?

 

[Kafka]

Modric's motor is amazing.

Mandzukic's as well...

 

[dickey moe]

Een Russia, streaker must wear clothes!

 

[gianmarco]

####### russians

I'm surprised it was a group of people and not a couple horses and a bear.

 

[GROOT]

Mandzucic header coming soon

 

[DJackson10]

####### russians

I guess tasers were out of the question? 

 

[HellToupee]

The fix is in for the Frenchies

 

[DJackson10]

Imagine running into the field in Russia while Putin is there ?

Honestly all thats missing right now at this Final is Trump glad handing Putin. Putin would've have those clowns DOA

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Kante?

Never would have predicted it but it’s probably the right call. 

 

[T-shirt Ninja]

Imagine running into the field in Russia while Putin is there ?

I asked the fans is they ran out on to the field and they say they didn’t...so they didn’t.

 

[ffldrew]

Guess the protesters are going to find out how cold winters are in Siberia

 

[El Floppo]

Damn.

 

[gianmarco]

Did you guys see those people Russian onto the field?

 

[roadkill1292]

Uh oh

 

[Christo]

 

[T-shirt Ninja]

Well Croatia just gave them that one.

 

[Zegras11]

sweet shot

 

[encaitar]

People have always wondered what would it look like if a world class sprinter could develop soccer skills......   MBappe would happen.  Holy #### is he fast.

 

[dickey moe]

Damn

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Blocked shot on your dominant foot so you curl it with your off foot. Not too shabby. 

 

[DJackson10]

Croatia gifted them that one. 

 

[El Floppo]

I was just in the middle of writing that the Croatian hands were starting to go to hips after that first ten minute push...looking tired. That's a gut punch.

See what they have left.

He runs track too?

 

[JuniorGong]

So I don’t really watch soccer, curious if any of these guys in the finals are good enough to play in MLS.

 

[DJackson10]

Carlo Tevecchio would really like Croatia to win this. Don't think he wants to hand the WC Trophy to his countries biggest rival

 

[jon_mx]

French people seem happy.

One of the Croatia moms forgot to bring orange slices at half.

He's had a great WC doing all the the little things off the ball I wouldn't have expected due to his play for MU. Props to him for getting a goal too

 

[HellToupee]

 Wonder how Mbappe would look at wideout

 

[gianmarco]

And now, 30 minutes of time wasting.
