Sure, just felt like LITN was making it seem like the Qatari coach was antagonizing Marsch before his reaction, when all the video showed was the two of them talking.

How much talking is required though?

I think the longer he's talking, the less of an apology it appears to be.

Who knows? Maybe marsch made some passive aggressive comment because he was upset that made Lopetgui defensive. Just feel like LITN has been reaching with some of his outrage towards all europeans because he's gotten riled up by some of the stupid things said by some of the more ignorant folks that we only see around tournament time...and SEPH...and in this case I didn't realize there was gunna be any drama in the clip until Marsch yanks his hand away & storms off.

But that could just be a cultural thing, we may not be dutch, but we do have a reputation for bluntness for a reason :laugh:

The reality is that neither you nor I have a clue.

Oh no I just think Lopetegui is a scumbag. See 2018. I’m sure he’ll say why he acted like one.

 
Translation

Lopetegui rebuked Marsch for attacking in the 99th minute with the goalkeeper and with the Qatari national team down to 9 players

I knew Marsch was not going to let the foot off the gas.. I knew that Lopetegui would be unhappy.. I was actually expecting something physical..

Looking at the placement of 3rd place team chart winner of group B is way more likely to get 3rd place from group G or J than any other group. I counted by hand and my count is off by 1, but of the 495 possibilities 260 of them or 52.5% of the time winner of group B faces 3rd in group G which is Iran/Egypt/New Zealand. 191 of the scenarios or 38.5% of the time they face 3rd in group J which would be Austria/Algeria. 26 scenarios or 5.3% they face group E or Ecuador/Ivory Coast. 14 scenarios or 2.8% of the time it's group I or Norway/Senegal. Only 5 group F scenarios or 1.0% to face Sweden/Japan.

91% of the time it'll be Iran/Egypt/New Zealand/Austria/Algeria at home with extra rest. I think I take that over likely South Korea
I'm glad you posted that. I was looking at the possible 3rd place teams and E/F/J are challenging 3rd place match ups.

I think we're favourites over all of Iran, Egypt, NZ, Algeria....I imagine Austria will come in 2nd.

SK or Mexico are both tricky.
 
Here it is on Reddit:



Yeah, they're scolding Marsch. The other coach shows up and starts wagging too.

Seems wild to complain about running up the score in a sport where goal differential matters, but that's likely what's happening here.

For what it's worth, I thought Canada's celebrations were pretty tame overall compared to what I see from the other players in this tournament.
 
Lopetegui has always been a mouthy twat. I don't doubt that he was just being a sore loser.

When they scored the 4th goal, the goal scorer celebrated by holding up Kone’s jersey to the crowd. Wonder if that pissed off Qatar. Lol

Eff them
