@Piquelme21 Love that Fifa counts it grazing his hair but apparently not the defender literally heading the ball...

A rule is a rule The Croatian player said he felt a small something touch him This is the reason we use technology - everyone would be screaming had it been obvious and missed

@LukasHozda Lisp, Ruby, Smalltalk. Maybe Haskell. Rust is just writing .unwrap() everywhere and setting your CPU on fire.

@ZwebackHD This doesn't matter at all. It's established, it hits the attacker. And then the defender obviously heads it, which should play the attacker onside. But the referee inexplicably decides the defender didn't mean to head it? Excuse me?

Look, I love Croatia. I love Ronaldo but let's get something clear: the call was right. The chip technology in the ball confirmed that the ball hit Croatia #20's head which means Croatia #15 is in an offside position. That's the ONLY thing that matters in the situation. Let's keep enjoying this incredible tournament that gives us so much joy!! 🇵🇹❤️🇭🇷

@Cietauu @onysera1 @FutSheriff The definition of "playing" the ball is the same for attackers and defenders. If the attacker heading the ball is playing it, the defender heading it is also playing in.

@onysera1 @FutSheriff It’s not about playing the ball. Veiga never had possession of the ball so it didn’t reset the offside. Same thing as a gk deflecting a shot onto an offside player and he scores, but it’s still offside. The keeper intentionally “played” the ball but was never in possession if it

I don’t know why people are crying so much. We have the technology to help, and if the chip detected contact with the ball, then it was offside. It’s an incredibly close call and impossible to judge from the images alone, but that’s exactly what the chip is there for. This is from a Messi fan btw

@desconfiad @CroatianSoccer He lowered his head to intentionally head the ball. It is considered making a play on it. The retarded ref just said he was "ducking" out of the way.

@CroatianSoccer If Messi and his team can get calls. Why cant we? Also that is not considered making a play on the ball.

You’re telling us that Veiga didn’t make a play on the ball? Alright.

@Footballtweet 13 for Portugal headed the ball. He even lowered his head to make contact. Him playing the ball plays the Croatian back onside.

The Croatia disallowed goal 𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗗: This is the only image that matters. The snicko technology goes off at the exact moment Matanović heads the ball. So the Croatian player DID touch it, and Mario Pašalić was OFFSIDE. 🇭🇷🚩 It was the correct call.

@TheAthleticFC For a supposed football account you should know intent isn't a factor in determining if a foul occurred...

On the basis of the images made available to referee Raphael Claus, the decision to send off USA forward Folarin Balogun is understandable. From the vantage point presented, via slow motion and still images, the threshold of serious foul play is met. This challenge did appear to endanger the safety of an opponent. Those ensconced in FIFA’s refereeing hub may see that as an open and shut case. Yet to most observers and many of those who have played the game, at any level at all, this was a miscarriage of justice. To show the challenge to the referee at a different speed to the incident he originally adjudicated upon is to warp and distort the judgment, removing context from the call. Slowed down, an accidental collision can resemble a premeditated challenge. A bad challenge can become a horror challenge. In the case of Balogun, the freeze frame and slow-motion images eliminated the essential context. This was a simple ball played forward by Antonee Robinson, where two players jostled for position, and as Bosnia and Herzegovina defender Tarik Muharemovic got in front of Balogun, the forward, off balance, landed in an unfortunate — but clearly unintentional manner — on the ankle of his opponent. In football’s history, it has sometimes required major incidents at big international tournaments to accelerate change. FIFA must use Balogun’s injustice as a line in the sand, ending once and for all the unfair and disfiguring use of slow-motion and freeze frames. 📝 @AdamCrafton_ bit.ly/3SFzYGl

@DKlagstad @visegrad24 Yes, the fact he was serious is why it's funny.

@dismalcode @visegrad24 I think he was actually serious But it came off like he was mocking them

Pro-Palestinian activist from Kreuzberg, Germany, performs a newly discovered street ritual using a rug while wearing a keffiyeh.

@Humblewank @ZainSM8 @visegrad24 They understand it, they just pretend not to because they know the west is full of useful idiots.

@ZainSM8 @visegrad24 Nah, Hamas members not children. If you don't want to get killed in a war, don't start a war. Most people know this, islamists have a hard time understanding it.

Exactly 1000 days have now passed since the October 7th Massacre. Thousands of Islamist terrorists and Gazan civilians broke into Israel that day and murdered 1000+ Israelis. One of them was 22-y-old Shani Louk at the Nova Festival. May all the victims rest in peace

@stevemagness So in which sport is stomping on someone's ankle while wearing cleats acceptable? Even in hockey you can't do that and they wear a ton of body armour...

@RealLeafPJ Assimilation is good and how I remember our immigration system being years ago. Now certain groups just live in enclaves, refuse to assimilate and take advantage. We need to go back to a system that's sustainable and create a culture people actually want to assimilate into.

Assimilation is possible, and is better than radical forms of remigration The Canadian identity is bigger than just ethnicity, but one of the values and history that Britain, France, and Indigenous gave us Immigrants who assimilate into Canada are a good thing for our country

@JeffWaddilove Soccer used to not have offside. It led to basically both teams having some players camp near the goal and the ball just being hoofed from side to side with no midfield play. Literally why the rule was invented.

Offsides is precisely why Americans could give a fuck about soccer. Lamest rule in all of sports.

@dodona777 My 2 year old boy wasn't able to get surgery in Canada in a timely fashion so we had to go to Europe to get it done. Canada wait time 1.5 years. Europe wait time 2 weeks.

I ask the same question as an Australian 》

@KylenMills #disciplinary-action" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">theifab.com/laws/latest/fo… What he did falls under "serious foul play". To quote the rules, " tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent"

Per FIFA rules: A yellow card is awarded for a reckless challenge on an opponent such as tripping, tackling, grabbing, or interfering during play A red card is given for a serious or dangerous foul that goes beyond what a yellow card would be merited for. -violent conduct (punching, kicking, biting, headbutting, etc.) or spitting on an opponent What Faloran Balogun did was NOT so egregious that it should be straight to red. I’ll stand ten toes down on that. #usmnt

@dec28man @Flyinrooster @Smileyyeg Nice goalpost moving btw.

@dismalcode @Flyinrooster @Smileyyeg "Everyone was ethnically East or Central European with lots of immigrants from China and Hong Kong. Contradictory. As I said what you want us a return to a white Canada

On Canada Day, I mourn the country that I used to love. For years I was celebrating it while others called the flag hateful; for years I valued this country while others demeaned it. Now the people who tore down statues of our PMs, changed the names of our institutions, said so-called Canada was genocidal; they are draped in the flag and continuing to destroy the country while cheering themselves on. Calling me a traitor. Hopeless is the best I can feel about Canada.

@ChShersh Probably just a retard who paid $20 for a fake online IQ test and now uses it to explain why he has no friends.

Highly intellectual people 2000 years ago: Invent Democracy Create Science Establish foundations of humanity Produce art we can’t surpass even now Highly intellectually people in 2026: “Help, I have no one to talk to about linguistics.”

@dec28man @Flyinrooster @Smileyyeg I don't want to return to any Canada. Canada should just break apart because it's not a real country.

@dec28man @Flyinrooster @Smileyyeg Where are these Anglo Saxon Protestants? Where I grew up (90s) everyone was ethnically East or Central European, with lots of immigrants from China and Hong Kong. Not many Anglo-Saxons.

@Flyinrooster @Smileyyeg Read through what these Maggaturds are writing. The Canada they're nostalgic about is one that was lilly white and where Anglo Saxon Protestants called the shots

@TheChaosWeeber The Liberals aren't conservative. They just take care of their own first. The corporations that they get bribes from, then all the useful idiots who vote for them (government workers, old people, unemployed, etc...) and fuck the working class because they don't need them...

Avi why can’t you be normal? As a centre left voter I want a party to vote for. The Liberals are too conservative and the NDP are now too left wing. There’s a massive rope in Canada rn on the centre to centre left.
