Day 23: Uruguay vs France and Brazil vs Belgium

[Zlatan 7]

Well no, you silly person. Because that's assault.

But it still wouldn’t be a freekick

 

[Shane88]

Lukaku still shattered from that sprint.

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

So the ref couldn’t go and view that foul to see if it’s a two footed lunge? Ball in play or not?
Not difficult

But you can't award a free kick. If I head butt someone when the ball is out of play, I get sent off but the other team don't get a free kick.

 

[Pexbo]

Maybe, maybe not. Refs can't make decisions on why a player may have kicked a ball x,y or z. Can only make a decision on what actually happened.

Of course they can and they do.

 

[GM K]

Get that control sorted Rom and you’re world class

He is already World Class.

 

[Dobba]

How was that a foul for Lukaku?

Because Coutinho jumped 10 metres into the air.

 

[beedoubleyou]

Lukaku has been outstanding. Neymar not getting booked only strengthens that cnuts belief in the divine right of Kings. What a total prick.

 

[Carolina Red]

How is that a free kick to Brazil???

 

[Redplane]

Idiot puts on Augusto instead of Fred.

Woukdnt want him to get injured anyway.

 

[barros]

We need to get Hazard this summer. Phenomenal player, I don't care what any of you say.

Just get Neymar

 

[ti vu]

Lukaku should vary his game. It is always the same straight line run

He is not very good at changing direction. There is so much you can improve against your natural limits. He is to expand the dimension of his game is good enough. Those rapid strong straight run should be enough to add potent to his teams' attack. It's time for the coaches to work around it using other players ability

 

[Dobba]

Courtois has got away with a couple of parries back into danger now.

 

[JPRouve]

I don't get this, you do not have to be in possession of the ball to be fouled, it has never been a thing. So why people make that argument so casually?

 

[Smores]

So the ref couldn’t go and view that foul to see if it’s a two footed lunge? Ball in play or not?
Not difficult

I think enough people have explained it by now. Good luck on figuring it out

 

[FootballHQ]

1-2.

 

[Zoo]

Game on!!!

 

[Minimalist]

Oooooo here we go.

 

[barros]

About time

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Pulled one back.

 

[George Owen]

Uff

 

[Dec9003]

Woukdnt want him to get injured anyway.

Imagine if he came on and Fellaini broke his leg to be able to start next season

 

[Loublaze]

Well shit

 

[Shane88]

Shit.

 

[AaronRedDevil]

Oh no!

 

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

Think all of these subs should have started

 

[Dobba]

Kompany got his pants pulled down there.

 

[Andycoleno9]

Kompany lost in space...

 

[Adisa]

Shit .

 

[Zoo]

Delicious ball Coutinho. I’m glad I can enjoy his game now

 

[George Owen]

What a header

 

[el3mel]

Feck. Another comeback on the cards ?

 

[Dargonk]

Well that should spark the game up again. Belgium going to be under loads of pressure now

 

[Catt]

Well shit.

 

[SwansonsTache]

Fred would have scored it in a nicer way. You are still a twat, Tite.

 

[Red Pavan]

Coutinho is quite predicable at times.

Great ball there though!

 

[FootballHQ]

Belgium need Dembele on now.

 

[Cloud7]

Looks like we’re in for a wild last 15 minutes

 

[duffer]

"If he was not so tall, he might've got down to that". Tweet it Pickford, Tweet it now.

 

[kouroux]

Great header

 

[bosnian_red]

Really good from coutinho that. Belgium about to get an onslaught now probably

 

[PoTMS]

Brazil better not fecking come back to win this especially since Neymar wasn't booked for that atrocious dive.
