piffer Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Quality of penalty kicks this tournament has been really poor. If keeper go the right way they are saving them. What happened to smashing it. All this stutters placement is asking for trouble 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scouser2 Posted July 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 At least the penalties added some drama , Croatia started well then looked like their top players ran out of energy Denmark probably played as best they can let down by not having that top class striker or 2 , like a few other teams 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iirc we had a centre half who took our penalties back in the lower divisions, he used to absolutely leather them into the roof of the net. I can't recall his name nor him ever missing one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would miss. On second thoughts they would arrive near to the surface of moon then spend the next six months searching for the perfect spot to land until they ran out of fuel.

Pompey Repatriated Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 I'm not even sure Croatia came out after halftime. France-Russia final with France winning. You heard it hear first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangodog Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Surprised Switzerland are ranked sixth in the World, Japan 61st, and Russia 70th. Although Russia's ranking is based on playing friendlies and will be considerably lower at the next release after the World Cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmcc Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 17 hours ago, Zorro said: Never a penalty against Pique and he should have got a penalty at the end. If you're referring to the penalty that Russia got in the first half then you're at it. Pique raised his arms to jump, then his arms moved back down again as he reached the peak of his jump. He then inexplicably raises one arm above head height - an unnatural position and blocked the ball. a stonewall pen. The one Spain 'never got' in ET, both attacker and defender were pulling and pushing, no pen, move on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my view. Pundits in the studio seemed to think it was a stone-waller but it looked like 6 of one and half a dozen of the other to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scouser2 Posted July 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Epic thrilling second half tonight with a dramatic finish , unlike Spain yesterday Belgium made the changes early enough that in the end changed the game ...so much drama ( of all kinds) in this World Cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one Spain 'never got' in ET, both attacker and defender were pulling and pushing, no pen, move on. Lets consider what construes a handball offence. It must be deliberate. Unless Pique has eyes in the back of his head I think we can rule that one out. A movement of the hand or arm towards the ball. Pique’s hand is straight up in the air and doesn’t move towards the ball. The distance between the ball being played and it striking the hand/arm. Looked a very short distance to me. Not enough time to pull his arm out of the way. Especially when he couldn’t even see where the ball was. Is it important where his hand is? Not in the slightest. Penalty? Never in a million years. Being dragged to the ground by a Russian with a handful of your shirt is a totally different matter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japan just ran out of steam. Physically and mentally drained from running around pressing for the sake of pressing. Probably because they were fearful of Belgiums ariel ability if they dropped deep like the Russians had done to good effect against Spain. . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love him to get sent off after someone dives from 1 of his tackles. I think Brazil would be better without him. Playing Firmino up front would give them more of a focal point 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LH31 Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 I fancy Uruguay. Very resolute defensively and a forward line to give any team the fear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
