Watching football highlights without seeing the result in the video title or thumbnail will be an issue during the World Cup. ▶️ I've built a website to try and solve this issue. It isn't perfect yet and just a fun project! Any feedback appreciated. ⚽️ spoilerfreefootball.lovable.app

@MarkkuOjala_ Sure does! Demonstrates how many non-English fans were supporting Norway.

Haaland is obviously a phenomenal player but he is also such a likeable character. Really glad he and Norway had such a great tournament and made history.

"Jude is a good friend."🤝 Erling Haaland hailed Jude Bellingham after another outstanding performance to help send England into the World Cup semi-finals.

@FplToni @fpl_skipper88 @mailamake Can you give an example of the same thing happening in a previous game and not being given?

@fpl_skipper88 @mailamake I just want consistency and we are far away from it, var ruins every football emotion that we have and 95% times is used to help bigger nations, you don’t agree with it?

Nah you can’t make it up, Switzerland started dominating, scored and now ref suddenly booked their striker for diving, there was million stuff like this and people weren’t even getting first yellow for it, let’s all pretend this rigged Wc didn’t happen 👍🏻

@FPL_RubberDucky @SelfcareNFooty Obviously he hasn't had a great tournament but he missed the opening game with injury and has just returned. Overall, saying he isn't a star is wild though.

English

Sam@FPLSportScience·9h

@FPL_RubberDucky @SelfcareNFooty I think most people would agree he is in the top 5 players in the world and he is still only 18... He's already played a big part in three La Liga titles, Barcelona and Spain's best player. He also won the Euros when he was 16, playing a huge part in that.

I have no doubt Lamine Yamal could go on to become a great footballer, but he has shown little in this #WorldCup to justify the attention he is getting. I know the football community are crying out for the next star, with so many leaving the game, but its not him...yet! #Spain

@SelfcareNFooty @FPL_RubberDucky Agree with your second sentence but he is already a huge star.

Richard Whitehead@SelfcareNFooty·10h

@FPLSportScience @FPL_RubberDucky Of course he will be But at this tournament so far, he's not performing to the levels of the other stars.

Sam@FPLSportScience·9h

@FPL_RubberDucky @SelfcareNFooty Sure! We've not seen the best of him at this world cup. I thought you meant in general.

@SelfcareNFooty @FPLSportScience Thankyou Richard. Lamine Yamal is not a star of the #worldcup

@BenCrellin Same but ultimately I'd just rather increase the chances of getting to see England play in a world cup final.

Important to add that fans should always have opinions. That's the beauty of football! This point is very much specific to squad selection, as there is so much that goes into it that we just don't see or have any grasp of.

Spence and Burn are exactly why fans should not passionately disagree with selection decisions. We have no idea when it comes to individual game plans, specific roles, personalities etc.

@MarkkuOjala_ Afraid so. I get that you can't initiate contact with the player but stepping in front of your opponent and then them making contact with you is different and I thought it was that. Maybe a less emotional version of me will change their mind when I watch it back later.

That's a joke of a decision IMO. He is allowed to put his leg there to get between the opponent and the ball. He then trips him. It's completely different to the scenario where a player is already going down on their own and and they put their leg into the player as they fall.

@AndrewTurmer @BenCrellin Absolutely! I just think specifically in terms of squad selection, most people don't appreciate that it is way more complex than just picking the best players. Outside of the first ~17 players, there are more important factors than footballing ability.

@FPLSportScience @BenCrellin How about Mainoo? Can we disagree with that one when Tuchel would rather play RBs or number 10s in midfield than him?

@Joccki_FPL I think it is a foul but I can't believe it's deemed a clear and obvious error if it isn't a foul.

@FPLSportScience I don’t say this that often but I think this one is in the grey area category. You give it, you stick to your decision. You don’t give it, you stick to your decision as well.

@aboveaveragefpl It's insane. Completely get it if he initiates contact with the player on the way down but how is he not allowed to step between the player and the ball?
