Day 20: Sweden vs Switzerland and Colombia vs England

[Peyroteo]

This has been an embarassing game of football, for both teams and for the ref. Lost control of the game and wrongly gave the penalty.

 

[Hansa]

Future refs should all be 6ft 5, and built like a tank. Then the intimidation might stop.

 

[Bobski]

This is some serious one eyed commentary from ITV.

Kane is going to be the GOAT for the stat bores the way that VAR has changed defending. 30 penalties a season incoming when it is fully implemented.

 

[Revan]

Henderson didn't make contact in his, the Colombian already had his head pressed into the back of Henderson. The one on Henderson was a butt.

Doesn't matter when there is intention.

 

[MadDogg]

How anyone thinks that wasnt a penalty is beyond ridiculous, should have gone to specsavers.

To be fair, Kane borderline fouls the defender first. If people are saying that was a foul then fair enough. If they just don't think the final contact that bought Kane down was a foul then that's stupid though.

That looked quite late on Young then. Hope he's not injured.

 

[DOTA]

Colombia are not this bad and England are not this good. Colombia's tactics are a nonsense.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Harry Kane with 12 goals in 8 games as captain of England. That's incredible.

He is certainly embracing being captain.

 

[Grinner]

There is going to be a massive lair-up at full time.

 

[The Firestarter]

This is like a bad action movie you watch to see if it can get worse

It's like the Turkish league.

 

[James Peril]

Like a pack of wild dogs. They are getting angry for every free-kick, even though all are 100% crystal. And what about the reactions for Maguire’s dive? VAR would have picked it up if Alli scores, yet they spend five minutes being angry instead of trying to score.

 

[kouroux]

Young crossing to nobody lol

 

[Catt]

this game is hilarious

 

[Sassy Colin]

I think Young might have twisted his leg.

It's fecking embarrassing. Bias is one thing - this is another.

 

[FrantikChicken]

Worst game of the world cup? My goddd

 

[FerociousCorgis]

Haha young crossing when literally nobody anywhere near box.

 

[oneniltothearsenal]

Wonder what the record is for most players booked in a team during WC, looks like Colombia going to have a good go.

Portugal had 9 against Holland in 2006 while the Dutch had 7 of their own that match.

Worst match of "football" I've ever seen

 

[vangagal]

England is embarrasment to this WC.

 

[adexkola]

Remember I was actually embarassed for football when USA played some of the teams in the last WC, the way some of those cnuts (not US) rolled around on the floor. You could actually tell the US players were puzzled by it and not used to it at all.

Some of these pricks should watch some YouTube clips of George Best who did his work on pitches like potato fields, being attacked by slaughters who would have been banned for a season today due to the stuff they threw at him.

It definitely fuels the notion of football (sawker) being for fannies.

Yes, they ignore players flopping in the NBA.

 

[Andycoleno9]

Colombia going for the fair play award.

Can't blame them. I support england in this game but i would be crazy if i am colombian. English players are going down on every contact

 

[Klopper76]

Colombia have lost their heads a bit here. All kinds of rash challenges going in.

 

[Ace of Spades]

It's been the go term for Young for the best part of a decade.

Well, when you are a serial diver, that will tend to happen.

 

[RedFish]

Staking the sting out of the game Ashley, good lad

 

[peridigm]

Young put in a decent cross.

 

[Ralaks]

Clear free kick though on Young there. Ref is way too lenient on the colombian thugs

 

[DomesticTadpole]

This game is Colombia Vs Brazil 2014 part 2.

Just thinking that. Just ask Neymar about Colombia.

Don't be ridiculous

You decided to not watch the game then? We're already playing with ten men. Like against Tunisia.

Americans are used to it, the NBA is flop district. Huge lads going down as if they were shot.

 

[Organic Potatoes]

England deserve to be ahead and Colombia are losing their heads.

However, the fact there’s been nothing more mentioned of Stones scuffed kick against Falcao’s head is pretty poor. England aren’t saints themselves here.

Falcao was about to roll his ankle which was pinned down by Falcao on the ground. He had to get his foot loose.

 

[Revan]

Can't blame them. I support england in this game but i would be crazy if i am colombian. English players are going down on every contact

Colombia have been acting like a bunch of thugs though.

 

[Stobzilla]

English is embarrasment to this WC.

feck off.

 

[FootballHQ]

Colombia don't have a clue tonight. Think England will get a second in next ten minutes and that will be that.

With no silverware to boot?

 

[The Firestarter]

You get a card, and you get a card, and you get a card

 

[AndyJ1985]

The constant fouling is good for us. It's only wasting more time

 

[RW2]

England are playing nasty also

All these yellows will add up

 

[LazyRed-Ninja]

7 yellow cards to play for to match the FIFA record of 14 when Spain played the Netherlands in the 2010 final.

 

[Smudge]

English is embarrasment to this WC.

 

[kps88]

Well avoided.

Fine, I'll humour you since I don't think you know what you're arguing with me about.

I was responding to a post asking what rule specifies the headbutt has to be forceful for it to be a straight red. I was commenting on the rule and not the Henderson situation. Do you think any slap or headbutt is an automatic red, no matter what? Even if a player moved his hand towards another player at the pace of a turtle and gently touched his cheek with the force of a baby? All I'm saying is the ref can use common sense in those situations, so it isn't as black and white as "slap or no slap".

 

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

Future refs should all be 6ft 5, and built like a tank. Then the intimidation might stop.

Future refs should read the rule book and fecking book players early in the game (if they foul) and set their stall out. Simples.
