OT: FIFA World Cup 2018 - Final week Edition

[MaxDummy]

That fault called that gave the free kick was pure bs

Kante clearly clipped the heels on purpose

 

[Sthabs]

Disagree, oh well

 

[peate]

RDS coverage of WC is shameful. Claudine ****ing Douville announcing the final. And from Montreal studios - in 2018 - they still don’t invest in getting the main announcers to the WC?

I'm watching on FOX, the sound is so much better, your can really hear the crowd, and no Clodine and heuh heuh Gounelle.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Ouff hand ball there.

 

[Sthabs]

Go var!

 

[peate]

That's gonna be a penalty.

 

[Adam Michaels]

That was the right call.

 

[MXD]

Clear hand

 

[SquiddFX]

You even saw the jiggle of the hand when the ball made contact in slow motion.

The PxP guy sating "matter of opinion" was funny though

Griezmann scores.

 

[Adam Michaels]

That was the right call. The benefit of VAR.

How glorious would it be if Croatia ties it before half-time?

 

[llamateizer]

What was that goal celebration ?

 

[Per Sjoblom]

I love those Croatian jerseys. Did they wear them before this World Cup? Every game I've seen of theirs, they had their dark jerseys.

Since 1990. I remember them from the WC in 98

 

[Nedved]

I think VAR has ruined the world cup. It should be obvious, but that wasn't obvious to me. Not sure what the defender is supposed to do in that situation?

I know they've had these jerseys for a long time. I meant if they wore them before during this World Cup.

Definitely a dive.

He would never be drafted in the NHL if they knew it was Fortnite.

They wore them against Japan.

Edit.
And Nigeria

Put his hands behind his back, he knows it too
I don't necessarily agree or disagree with you I think var should be used if the motion for example had an effect on the outcome or the trajectory of the ball, but that's the thing you can't have grey zones otherwise it s too much up to interpretation.

Thanks. I missed those two games. The only Croatia games I got the chance to watch were against Argentina in the group stage, the Round of 16 match against Denmark, the Quarter-Finals against Russia, and the Semi-Finals against England. And every single one of those games, they wore their dark jerseys.

Nobody jumps with their hands behind their back. The hand behind the back is more when you are on the ground trying to deflect or block a shot, not when you jump to head an air ball from a set piece like a corner kick or a foul.

Worst call of the world cup. sorry, guys shouldn't be running around with their hands behind their back. It wasn't obvious, I feel he was pressured by the guys upstairs, and I don't believe that it was a certain handball. It was the wrong call.

Croatia is getting the reach around. Think of all the money to be lost with a croatia win.

My 13 year old son sees it and says "Really? World Cup final and you're doing that? Stupid."

This is some bad refereeing. France should not have a lead.
