Day 18: Switzerland vs Spain | Belgium vs Italy (QF 1&2)

[FootballHQ]

One last chance for Belgian in Qatar but they need to find some young defenders. Feels like the one year break to this euros wasn't good for them.

After that they'll have to significantly alter their starting line up so really end for this generation.

 

[Rustyspider13]

Brave from Donnarumma, good play.

 

[ha_rooney]

That’s not a foul

 

[Tony247]

So no attacker left dor Italy if Belgium scores now?

 

[Eurotrash]

Only 5 mins is a bit of a joke

 

[Phil]

Never a foul on the keeper

 

[arnie_ni]

That was his own player more than anything

 

[The Firestarter]

Feck sake

 

[DixieDean]

I'll say it again, time keeping in football is a scam! The clock should stop when play does.

 

[Judas]

5 minutes too many, Belgium deserve no stoppage time for being so dull.

 

[Look-a-Hill]

Donnarumma creasing at how much time he's getting away with.

 

[Mb194dc]

Ridiculous time wasting this half...

If they don't at least trial stopped clock...

 

[Adisa]

Italians are masters at timewasting. 5 mins added on is a joke.

 

[KirkDuyt]

Belgium underwhelming again. At least they're still ranked 1.

 

[The Firestarter]

Execute shithouse.exe

 

[prateik]

They have played 2 seconds of the 5 added on.. Lets see if the ref adds 5 more mins after the game restarts here.

 

[TheGame]

How the feck is that a free kick?

 

[DWelbz19]

Italy have been pretty pathetic with the “gamesmanship” tonight

 

[Beachryan]

Always remember kids: cheating pays in football.

 

[Unam333]

Italy sure knows how to waste time.

 

[charlenefan]

As JR would say 'he's broken in half'

or not

 

[MU655]

Non-PL refs are clearly of a much higher quality...

 

[BlahRules]

5 minutes too many, Belgium deserve no stoppage time for being so dull.

Italy was on the floor for at least 10 minutes

 

[Ollie Derbyshire]

You don’t make things worse walking off with an ACL ffs

How do you know that’s what he did? Would you go on about it as much if Salah went down in CL final to buy you a 2 min breather?

 

[RobinLFC]

Has nothing. Plays for dead. Italians

 

[Withnail]

Never a foul on the keeper

Ah it never is

 

[Superunknown]

I'll say it again, time keeping in football is a scam! The clock should stop when play does.

It's a bit crazy that 21st century football still doesn't have this. We've wasted nearly 3 minutes of time with nothing happening since that free kick was taken!

 

[Vidyoyo]

Keepers are an endangered species

 

[el3mel]

How is this even a foul for the GK ?

 

[Bastian]

Shame they can't nationalise a couple of those many super promising French defenders.

 

[Tony247]

Don't understand this. Don't they stop the clock?

 

[Odin]

Azzuri - masters of shithousery... Referees must have learnt zilch, zero, nada from the last four decades.

No idea why they don’t go with a back 4. Would allow an extra attacker.

I’ve been against timewasting on here since 2014 so yes.

 

[Withnail]

Italy have been pretty pathetic with the “gamesmanship” tonight

It seems fairly standard no?

 

[FlapR]

10/10 shithousery

 

[ha_rooney]

Ffs get up

 

[KirkDuyt]

Time wasting is such a fecking blight on football.

 

[bosskeano]

bloody italians diving all over the place now

 

[charlenefan]

This has got to be infuriating for the Belgium's
