Diego Costa is such a twat.
Day 2: Portugal v Spain, Morocco v Iran and Egypt v Uruguay
- Thread starter K2K
- Start date
Ronaldo looks like he's at 120% zoom compared to every other player on the field.
arm/elbow jump into throat/chin is hardly a normal clash though.
This game is making up for 2 dreadful games, sort of game you expect in the knockout stages.
Guedes would be annoying me now if I was Ronaldo, he’s messed up quite a few opportunities now
Both are easily going through, this game is just for top spot.
Commentators forgetting the 5-0 opening game. This is horrendous. Truly horrendous.
feck what a game already
Great atmosphere. Nothing like the vuvuzela shit show of the previous game
Costa 1-1
Ellbow in his face is a contact sport? Okay.
You jump up with your arms up. He didnt full on elbow him, sure he lead with it and it was an arguable foul but not a clear cut foul. VAR doesnt change debatable decisions. Only clear mistakes, as it should be.
Yes, the system is pointless when the people interpreting the images are idiots.
the opening game was OK but this is a country mile betterElbows touching someone else is not always a foul, it depends.
You never fancied elbowing Pepe in the face?
Looked a clear foul. How do you decide when it's a tool vs tool clash? Great finish by Costa even though he's still a jackass.
Great finish and all that but surely that was a foul on Pepe during the build-up.
Elbow in the face is a foul. Nobody has elbowed anyone in the face tonight though.
What's horrendous?
He has been exceptionally poor. You do have to think if it was Nani in his position Portugal would have 2 goals
Spain should have gone with Odriozola instead of Nacho.
Odd Pique only has 99 caps but Silva has over 120.
It looked like a foul live never mind the Replay. Weird decision
Nacho is a terrible player.
Gotta feel bad for Guedes. He's clearly super nervous but with the setup of both teams he can't help finding himself on the ball in key moments.
Yeah right.
Tournament well and truly heating up.
That was close from Iniesta.
After watching that clip I can sort of see why VAR might have allowed it. It wasn't really elbowing, more like a slight brush with his flacid arm. Though I'm not sure whether that might be a foul as well.
No, I agree but they were claiming Costa goal was the best of the tournament, "Not hard, there hasn't been any goals".
Costa has been brilliant so far.
Brilliant build-up play from Spain.
Guedes doing his best impression of Kerzhakov at Euro 2012.
Portugal look as rubbish as during the euros. So they might end up winning it all again.
Iniesta at this age is still too good for Vissel Kobe. We should have signed him on a 2 year deal.
I don't think that's a foul
Pepe going down holding his face (when nobody touched his face) made it look like a foul.
Apparently Odriozola is a pretty poor defender.
