In terms of what is "accepted" football-wise, people are obviously more lenient towards a foul then something that's more obvious - such as a dive.
There's a difference for me. Diving or pretending it's your throw in when it's not tries to deceive the referee. A foul doesn't. It's against the rules and will be disciplined as such. Just like Suarez handball
A handball on the line is definitely trying to deceive the ref... You're trying to block a shot with something you're not supposed to but pretending /hoping the ref thinks it's your head/another part of your body
Don't think Suarez had any illusion that his offence would go unnoticed, just that it's still worth doing it
I mean he didn't walk off the pitch immediately - and when he got a red card did a "what me?" type of reaction
That's just habit for footballers, isn't itI mean he didn't walk off the pitch immediately - and when he got a red card did a "what me?" type of reaction
?Isn't the Serbian team infighting (like the Belgians)? I read somewhere that someone slept with another player's girlfriend or something
Portugal already qualified
Portugal can still finish second but highly unlikely
Boo
And Dominic Adiyiah, whose shot Suarez blocked, deceived the ref by throwing himself to the ground with Fucile nowhere near him, to win the originating free-kick. Based on that 2 wrongs immediately made a right !
If you have a good penalty taker a keeper can't save it, literally its impossible for a keeper to save a shot if its right in the corner.
Of course he did, nobody is arguing he is a pillar of the community. And he celebrated, as every man and his dog would.I mean he didn't walk off the pitch immediately - and when he got a red card did a "what me?" type of reaction
I’m not sure. Not heard anything.
Him and Messi must start all games!
We can since we have André Silva and Gonçalo Ramos. The question is that Ronaldo wants to play every time to try and increase his goal tally. Since we have a manager that is a puppet he just obliges.
Any opportunity to score he will take
Or maybe he just hope Ronaldo one last time start doing "Ronaldo stuff"
Yeah, we had to do that to install that narrative because nobody was bringing it up.
That's music to my ears! I admittedly dont know Ricardo Horta, but I just checked his wikipedia page and while I wont judge him based on that, I liked what I saw
At least a rational Sporting fan for once not you-know-who who'd have tried to justify his inclusion.
So long as Ghana don't win they are safe. If Ghana win and they lose, they still have a spare goal in GD and H2H going for them.
No creativity whatsoever in that lineup so we will play defensive. Korea gotta have the initiative.That's music to my ears! I admittedly dont know Ricardo Horta, but I just checked his wikipedia page and while I wont judge him based on that, I liked what I saw
Not a fan boy. Never was. Grateful for everything he gave to Portugal but I'm a pragmatic person.
Do you know who else is playing? Havent seen lineups for any team so far. I hope you still come to play, if you sit back we'll have trouble breaking a low block.
Diogo Costa, Diogo Dalot, Pepe, António Silva, João Cancelo, Rúben Neves, Matheus Nunes, Vitinha, João Mário, Ricardo Horta e Cristiano Ronaldo;
