A case of hometown refereeing (again) or meaningless match because you will not get a more obvious send off?

 

[Big Sam]

7 again?

 

[Noa]

De Vrij has really emerged as one of the best defenders in this world cup and only 23

 

[Big Sam]

Hopeless ref

 

[Big Sam]

Any idea what "you're getting sacked in the morning" is in Portuguese?

Agreed, should have been red, but not a penalty. Was outside the box...

What's everyone's thoughts on the Oscar yellow.

What's everyone's thoughts on the Oscar yellow.

When I said "hopeless ref" above, that's what I was alluding to.

Was a clear penalty, not a dive.

 

[Noa]

Was a clear dive.

He was heading to the ground well before contact

 

[Big Sam]

I've got a sense over the last month that a lot of us aren't watching the same game

 

[ggmu]

Was definite contact but the Brazil player was on his way down before contact.

Thought that's what you were referring to.

I thought it was a clear penalty aswell.

 

[Noa]

My feeling is the ref can't ignore the first misdemeanour just because one immediately followed it unless it's violent conduct.

If Oscar controlled the ball with his hand then was tripped would you expect a penalty to be still given.

Unless there's a wipeout tomorrow morning, Brazil will finish their HOME World Cup conceeding 14 goals, including 10 in the last 5 games alone, which will be the most any team conceded this tournament. Unthinkable a month ago!

Regarding the above picture, there was a meme of Patrick Stewart saying "Why the f**k do I look like Arjen Robben?" - obviously I couldn't post it up because it would by-pass the language filter, but f**k its funny :lol:

That above picture doesn't do it justice.... they actually look heaps similar.
