@FunkyDiabetic1 Penalties are great, until you are rooting for your team that completely outplays the other team and you lose in penalties. Then it's the worst fucking shit that was ever invented.

Penalty kicks are the most intense thing ever bro

@charadelaperla @ConnCFC I meant technical talent. The game is democratic and a true team sport. If 10 men put it all on the line and play together and organized they can upset anyone. That's what makes the World Cup, the World Cup.
English
@nickbateman33 Nah, we just watched enough football to know one or two games means nothing. Teams like Paraguay can shit the bed, and teams like USA can look like world beaters. Doesn't make them contenders. Germany has been disappoining and hasn't won anything in over a decade.
English
USA brutally massacred the team that just eliminated a top 7/8 team in the entire World Cup
AKA yes this US team can win it all. 100%. If you aren’t bought in yet it’s not too late.
English
@cagiago_ Or maybe Brazil and Germany are just big in name these last 15 years.
English
@AmericanOutlaws They are a good defensive team that had a terrible game against U.S.A. It happens. One game doesn't mean a whole lot. Win five elimination games in a row then jaw all you want.
English
@barmallow1 @JosipFCB93 They were just overmatched physically and tactically. Honestly, I think it took everyone by surprise the way U.S.A came out. Paraguay was definitely not ready, and they are not a team that can play from behind well.
English
@JosipFCB93 That Paraguay opener vs the U.S. did some damage. I don’t know what the fuck they were doing in that first half
English
@AlexionIQ It would be unfair if Germany was actually good. But they were ass, couldn't do much against an inferior opponent that absolutely earned the tie and then the win in penalties. By literal description of the rule, that was a correct call. Cry all you want. Those are the rules.

A Alemania le metieron la mano en el bolsillo.
Si lo de Anton es falta, el Arsenal debería devolver la Premier League hoy mismo. Se pone al lado, apenas lo toma y Gill lo choca. No sé cobra en ningún lugar del mundo.
Para mí, es gol lícito.

No sirve ni en pedo que Paraguay le gane a Alemania, necesitamos alguien que elimine a Francia. Alemania le compite mas

Offsides in soccer blows my mind. It would be like penalizing a wide receiver for running past a corner on a blown coverage

@RickvonStauff This 3d model is not real. It's a literal made up model. That's the problem.
English
Rules in sports should be black or white. You can't apply an offside rule in a "he was only a little offside" manner. It either is...or it's not. If the foot is offside...it's offside.

Maybe the solution to VAR is to have a more human "margin of error"? So if a player's toe is 1mm offside, that's not enough to overturn the referee's decision (because no referee could be expected to detect that). VAR should only overturn decision that are CLEARLY wrong.

@TouchlineX lol this was not a foul. Japan did get one yellow card forgiven, though.
English
🖥️💥 El VAR se lavó las manos en el Brasil - Japón.
👉🏻 Sano clava los tacos en la cara interna del tobillo de Vinicius, doblándoselo con uso de fuerza excesiva.
❌ 𝗘𝗦 𝗥𝗢𝗝𝗔 𝗗𝗜𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗔.
▪️ La acción pone claramente en riesgo la integridad física del jugador brasileño.

@kemimoo4 You literally have to cherry pick or make things up to put CR7 ahead of Messi. For Maradonna the conversation is complicated. For starters it was a completely different era, the game was played 10x more physically., and he was apure 10, his impact was not as easily quantifiable
English
Messi being better than the likes of CR7 ,Maradona is not an opinion but a fact .
Now the question is Messi better than Pele ?
English
@Chaka98576508 La regla está bien, pero estos modelos 3d que se sacan del culo, no. Por qué todos creen ciegamente que esto es real? Se debería usar evidencia fotográfica para el var (cómo se hacía al principio=
Español
Unpopular opinion: el offside es la mejor regla del fútbol. La única realmente objetiva. Si empezás a flexibilizar eso lo único que generás es más discusiones y quilombo al pedo.

Los parámetros del VAR no existen únicamente para aplicarse al pie de la letra, también deben saberse interpretar. Invalidar un gol agónico en un mundial porque la punta del zapato del jugador está adelantada, no hace al fútbol un deporte más justo; lo hace absurdo.
Español
@uvi_devil2003 @EiFSoccer Messi outperforms xGOT consistently by a big margin throughout his entire career. For any random player a short streak like this could be chalked down to luck, but for Messi this is pretty close to his career average overperformance. 20 straight years of doing this isn't luck.
English
@EiFSoccer Why would he stop playing when he can score 6 goals on 3.16 xGOT because the keepers and defense suddenly forget how to play.... As long as he gets these lucky variance in his favor he can continue to stat pad. Its funny how data plotting can make luck look like skill
English
At what point does Messi even stop playing?
In tournament football he still continues to be the most decisive player in the world not named Mbappe.
When will we actually see age fully affect how he plays? This is totally insane.

#FIFAWorldCup📊 Always #Messi After the group stage, the standout attacking profiles are not only finishers, but players who also create for others. High xA plus strong xG/goal threat shows who is involved in both the final pass and the final action. #ViniJR #Haaland #Albiceleste
